Adds a starters/ gallery — one minimal, copy-paste-ready workflow per Ops pattern — giving new users a "GitHub Actions starter workflow" equivalent for GitHub Agentic Workflows.

What's included

10 starters, each with ≤3-sentence markdown body and minimal YAML frontmatter:

Pattern Starter Trigger
ChatOps chat-ops/pr-explain.md /explain slash command in PR
IssueOps issue-ops/first-contributor-welcome.md Issue/PR opened
DailyOps daily-ops/stale-pr-nudge.md Daily schedule
LabelOps label-ops/close-wontfix.md wontfix label applied
DataOps data-ops/weekly-contribution-report.md Weekly schedule
DispatchOps dispatch-ops/codebase-qa.md workflow_dispatch with question input
ProjectOps project-ops/board-router.md Issue opened/labeled
WorkQueueOps workqueue-ops/checklist-processor.md workflow_dispatch with issue number
MultiRepoOps multi-repo-ops/cross-repo-issue-mirror.md upstream label applied
BatchOps batch-ops/bulk-stale-labeler.md Weekly schedule

Design constraints

  • All GitHub write operations go through safe-outputs — agent job stays read-only
  • Date-relative queries (stale, nudge) instruct the agent to compute the absolute date at runtime rather than embedding invalid syntax like updated:<7-days-ago
  • Data fetching uses MCP GitHub toolsets (search_pull_requests, search_issues) — no gh api shell calls in agent prompts
  • starters/README.md contains the summary table and usage instructions with placeholder callouts (YOUR-ORG, project URL, secret names)

Adds a starters/ directory with one minimal but useful starter workflow
per Ops pattern (ChatOps, IssueOps, DailyOps, LabelOps, DataOps,
DispatchOps, ProjectOps, WorkQueueOps, MultiRepoOps, BatchOps).
Each workflow has ≤3 sentences in the markdown body and a concise YAML
frontmatter, designed as copy-paste starters for new users.

Includes a README.md with a summary table explaining each pattern and
its recommended use case.
