Research direction

Inspect .github/workflows/primer-api-review.md and the linked Actions run first. Check the configured model, max-ai-credits limit, and provider authentication against the reported failures; done means the Primer API Review workflow completes successfully without the same model, credit, or authentication errors.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

agentic-workflows
Workflow Failure

Workflow: Primer API Review
Branch: main
Run: https://github.com/primer/react/actions/runs/35580962225

[!WARNING]
Invalid or Unsupported Model: The agent failed because the configured model name is invalid, unknown, or unavailable for this engine/account.

This is a configuration issue, not a transient error — retrying will not help.

How to fix this

Specify a valid model for the selected engine in the workflow frontmatter:

---
engine: copilot
model: gpt-5-mini
---

To find valid models, check your engine/provider documentation (for Copilot see supported models).

If the error text is No model available. Check policy enablement under GitHub Settings > Copilot, the model is not disabled in the workflow but by Copilot policy. Enable the model under GitHub Settings > Copilot > Policies for the org/repo, or pick a model that is already enabled. This can also be triggered by a subagent (task tool) dispatch requesting a model that the policy does not allow, even when the main agent's model is enabled.

[!WARNING]
AI Credits Budget Exceeded

The workflow hit the configured max-ai-credits guardrail. Used 1K of 1K max (over by 10.1).

Increase the limit

Update max-ai-credits in your workflow frontmatter:

max-ai-credits: 2000
Tips for reducing AI credit usage
  • Review the cost optimization guidance.
  • Reduce unnecessary model or tool calls in the prompt.
  • Trim large inputs or excess context that does not change the outcome.
  • Split large tasks across smaller runs when possible.

[!WARNING]
Engine Failure: The copilot engine terminated unexpectedly.

Last agent output:

Assign this issue to an agent to debug and fix the issue.

Optimize token consumption

This failure was triggered by a guardrail limit (max-ai-credits). Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to analyze token usage and reduce costs:

Optimize the agentic workflow token consumption using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/optimize.md

The workflow run is at https://github.com/primer/react/actions/runs/35580962225
Debug with any coding agent

Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/primer/react/actions/runs/35580962225
Manually invoke the agent

Debug this workflow failure using your favorite Agent CLI and the agentic-workflows prompt.

[!TIP]

Stop reporting this workflow as a failure

To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set report-failure-as-issue: false in its frontmatter:

safe-outputs:
  report-failure-as-issue: false
