Wait for the user to respond. + +2. **Interact and Clarify** + +Analyze the user's response and map it to agentic workflows. Ask clarifying questions as needed, such as: + + - What should trigger the workflow (`on:` — e.g., issues, pull requests, schedule, slash command)? + - What should the agent do (comment, triage, create PR, fetch API data, etc.)? + - ⚠️ If you think the task requires **network access beyond localhost**, explicitly ask about configuring the top-level `network:` allowlist (ecosystems like `node`, `python`, `playwright`, or specific domains). + - 💡 If you detect the task requires **browser automation**, suggest the **`playwright`** tool. + +**Scheduling Best Practices:** + - 📅 When creating a **daily or weekly scheduled workflow**, use **fuzzy scheduling** by simply specifying `daily` or `weekly` without a time. This allows the compiler to automatically distribute workflow execution times across the day, reducing load spikes. + - ✨ **Recommended**: `schedule: daily` or `schedule: weekly` (fuzzy schedule - time will be scattered deterministically) + - ⚠️ **Avoid fixed times**: Don't use explicit times like `cron: "0 0 * * *"` or `daily at midnight` as this concentrates all workflows at the same time, creating load spikes. + - Example fuzzy daily schedule: `schedule: daily` (compiler will scatter to something like `43 5 * * *`) + - Example fuzzy weekly schedule: `schedule: weekly` (compiler will scatter appropriately) + +DO NOT ask all these questions at once; instead, engage in a back-and-forth conversation to gather the necessary details. + +3. **Tools & MCP Servers** + - Detect which tools are needed based on the task. Examples: + - API integration → `github` (with fine-grained `allowed` for read-only operations), `web-fetch`, `web-search`, `jq` (via `bash`) + - Browser automation → `playwright` + - Media manipulation → `ffmpeg` (installed via `steps:`) + - Code parsing/analysis → `ast-grep`, `codeql` (installed via `steps:`) + - ⚠️ For GitHub write operations (creating issues, adding comments, etc.), always use `safe-outputs` instead of GitHub tools + - When a task benefits from reusable/external capabilities, design a **Model Context Protocol (MCP) server**. + - For each tool / MCP server: + - Explain why it's needed. + - Declare it in **`tools:`** (for built-in tools) or in **`mcp-servers:`** (for MCP servers). + - If a tool needs installation (e.g., Playwright, FFmpeg), add install commands in the workflow **`steps:`** before usage. + - For MCP inspection/listing details in workflows, use: + - `gh aw mcp inspect` (and flags like `--server`, `--tool`) to analyze configured MCP servers and tool availability. + + ### Custom Safe Output Jobs (for new safe outputs) + + ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: When the task requires a **new safe output** (e.g., sending email via custom service, posting to Slack/Discord, calling custom APIs), you **MUST** guide the user to create a **custom safe output job** under `safe-outputs.jobs:` instead of using `post-steps:`. + + **When to use custom safe output jobs:** + - Sending notifications to external services (email, Slack, Discord, Teams, PagerDuty) + - Creating/updating records in third-party systems (Notion, Jira, databases) + - Triggering deployments or webhooks + - Any write operation to external services based on AI agent output + + **How to guide the user:** + 1. Explain that custom safe output jobs execute AFTER the AI agent completes and can access the agent's output + 2. Show them the structure under `safe-outputs.jobs:` + 3. Reference the custom safe outputs documentation at `.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md` or the guide + 4. Provide example configuration for their specific use case (e.g., email, Slack) + + **DO NOT use `post-steps:` for these scenarios.** `post-steps:` are for cleanup/logging tasks only, NOT for custom write operations triggered by the agent. + + **Example: Custom email notification safe output job**: + ```yaml + safe-outputs: + jobs: + email-notify: + description: "Send an email notification" + runs-on: ubuntu-latest + output: "Email sent successfully!" + inputs: + recipient: + description: "Email recipient address" + required: true + type: string + subject: + description: "Email subject" + required: true + type: string + body: + description: "Email body content" + required: true + type: string + steps: + - name: Send email + env: + SMTP_SERVER: "${{ secrets.SMTP_SERVER }}" + SMTP_USERNAME: "${{ secrets.SMTP_USERNAME }}" + SMTP_PASSWORD: "${{ secrets.SMTP_PASSWORD }}" + RECIPIENT: "${{ inputs.recipient }}" + SUBJECT: "${{ inputs.subject }}" + BODY: "${{ inputs.body }}" + run: | + # Install mail utilities + sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y mailutils + + # Create temporary config file with restricted permissions + MAIL_RC=$(mktemp) || { echo "Failed to create temporary file"; exit 1; } + chmod 600 "$MAIL_RC" + trap "rm -f $MAIL_RC" EXIT + + # Write SMTP config to temporary file + cat > "$MAIL_RC" << EOF + set smtp=$SMTP_SERVER + set smtp-auth=login + set smtp-auth-user=$SMTP_USERNAME + set smtp-auth-password=$SMTP_PASSWORD + EOF + + # Send email using config file + echo "$BODY" | mail -S sendwait -R "$MAIL_RC" -s "$SUBJECT" "$RECIPIENT" || { + echo "Failed to send email" + exit 1 + } + ``` + + ### Correct tool snippets (reference) + + **GitHub tool with fine-grained allowances (read-only)**: + ```yaml + tools: + github: + allowed: + - get_repository + - list_commits + - get_issue + ``` + + ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: + - **Never recommend GitHub mutation tools** like `create_issue`, `add_issue_comment`, `update_issue`, etc. + - **Always use `safe-outputs` instead** for any GitHub write operations (creating issues, adding comments, etc.) + - **Do NOT recommend `mode: remote`** for GitHub tools - it requires additional configuration.
