A persona exploration run (Program Manager, Designer, Legal/Compliance) scored agentic-workflows guidance 4.4/5.0 but flagged three gaps: monthly compliance-policy auditing lacks explicit trigger/dedup guidance, there's no worked Program Manager digest example, and multi-scenario ad hoc evaluation output format is underspecified.

Changes

  • Scheduled compliance-policy audits (create-agentic-workflow-trigger-details.md): added a concrete example for recurring SECURITY/disclosure/policy file checks — schedule + workflow_dispatch trigger, monthly reporting window, compliance-audit:<window-id> dedup key, grouping by policy area, and noop/escalation rules.
  • Program Manager digest example (github-agentic-workflows.md): added a full YAML snippet using schedule + create-issue with close-older-issues: true, plus the reporting window (7 days), grouping dimensions (team/repo → status), and dedup key format (pm-digest:<window-id>).
  • Multi-scenario ad hoc evaluation output (create-agentic-workflow.md): replaced the ambiguous "one table per scenario" instruction with an explicit combined comparison table (one row per scenario, filled with representative values instead of placeholders) so trigger/tool/safe-output choices can be compared side by side, plus a reminder to flag scenarios that could share a trigger or write path before offering to generate files.

Example of the new combined comparison table format:

All changes are documentation-only, under .github/aw/, not .github/workflows/, so no workflow recompilation is required.

Pull request overview

Note

Copilot could not run the full agentic suite for this review because it was automatically requested on a bot-authored pull request. Request a review from Copilot under Reviewers to retry with the full agentic suite. Improved support for bot-authored pull requests is coming soon.

Adds new documentation examples and clarifies expected output formatting for “agentic-workflows” scenario evaluation, especially for recurring/scheduled digests and audits.

Changes:

  • Added a Program Manager weekly digest workflow example and guidance.
  • Updated multi-scenario comparison guidance to require a single combined comparison table.
  • Added a scheduled compliance-policy audit example with prompt guidance and dedup strategy.

Expected comparison output: return one combined table with one row per scenario (not a separate table per scenario), so the trigger/tool/safe-output choices can be compared side by side. Use the scenario's persona/task label as the row key and cover these columns:

| Scenario | Trigger | Scope | Read tools | Safe outputs | Permissions | Noop condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Information Worker — weekly digest | `schedule` + `workflow_dispatch` | 7-day window, grouped by assignee | `github` (`gh-proxy`, default toolset) | `create-issue` with `close-older-issues: true` | `contents: read`, `issues: write` | window has no assigned issues/PRs |
| Product Manager — backlog triage | `schedule` + `workflow_dispatch` | recurring window, grouped by staleness bucket | `github` (`gh-proxy`, default toolset) | `create-issue` with `close-older-issues: true` | `contents: read`, `issues: write` | no items cross the staleness threshold |
| Backend Engineer — API contract review | `pull_request` with `paths:` scoped to API/schema files | per-PR, no window | `github` (`gh-proxy`, default toolset) | `add-comment` on the PR | `contents: read`, `pull-requests: write` | no API contract files changed in the PR |
- If a CLI/MCP invocation returns `Unknown parameter 'prompt'` (or similarly for `scenario`/`query`), that confirms freeform evaluation is unavailable through that path; fall back to conversation mode and use the recommendation pattern documented above and in [create-agentic-workflow.md](create-agentic-workflow.md#ad-hoc-evaluation-mode) instead of retrying with a different parameter name.

### Program Manager digest example

### Scheduled compliance-policy audit example

Monthly (or otherwise recurring) audits of policy/disclosure files use `schedule` instead of `pull_request`, since there is no single triggering PR event to react to:
