Pull request overview
Updates agent/workflow guidance to avoid false alarms during cold-start cache conditions for daily-cache-strategy-analyzer.
Changes:
- Add explicit callout that an empty/absent
cache-strategy/cache at startup is expected. - Add a new “When to Call
missing_data” section clarifying when that tool should (and should not) be used. - Expand the dispatcher agent guidance with a new CLI commands / triggering workflows reference section.

- This URL points to
.github/aw/cli-commands.md, but that file isn’t present in the repository, so this guidance will send users to a dead link. Please either add the referenced file or replace the link with an existing CLI documentation location (for example.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md#clior the official CLI docs URL).
- **Triggering runs**: Always use `gh aw run <workflow-name>` to trigger a workflow on demand — not `gh workflow run <file>.lock.yml`. `gh aw run` handles workflow resolution by short name, input parsing and validation, and correct run-tracking for agentic workflows. Use `--ref <branch>` to run on a specific branch.
- **CLI commands reference**: For a complete guide on all `gh aw` commands and their MCP tool equivalents (for restricted environments), see https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/main/.github/aw/cli-commands.md

| ### CLI Commands Reference | ||
| **Load when**: The user asks how to run, compile, debug, or manage workflows from the command line; needs the MCP tool equivalent of a `gh aw` command; or is in a restricted environment (e.g., Copilot Cloud) without direct CLI access. | ||
| **Reference file**: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/main/.github/aw/cli-commands.md |

The referenced cli-commands.md file does not exist in this repo under .github/aw/ (and will 404), so the dispatcher will point users to a broken URL. Either add .github/aw/cli-commands.md, or update this to link to an existing CLI reference (e.g. .github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md#cli or the existing docs URL already used there).
This issue also appears on line 195 of the same file.

On its first few runs, the

The cache infrastructure was working correctly; the problem was the agent treating a legitimate cold start as a reportable failure.Changes
