| 9 | +### GitHub Agentic Workflows |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +[GitHub Agentic Workflows](https://github.com/github/gh-aw) is a framework for running agents on the Actions compute and event framework. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The quickstart docs here: https://github.github.com/gh-aw/ are a great way to get started, or simply paste this to your agent: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +```text |
| 16 | +Install GitHub Agentic Workflows using https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/main/install.md |
| 17 | +``` |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +To create a new workflow: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +```text |
| 22 | +Create a workflow for GitHub Agentic Workflows using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/create.md |
| 23 | +
|
| 24 | +``` |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Not just for coding! Check out [Peli's Agent Factory](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/blog/2026-01-12-welcome-to-pelis-agent-factory/) for many inspiring examples. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Loop Engineering |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Rather than directly prompting agents, agentic engineering is shifting toward creating recurring goal-oriented processes that run automatically. This can target goals like performing research, increasing test coverage, migrating a codebase, keeping issues triaged, or anything that you can measure and improve about your repository! |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### Autoloop |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +[Autoloop](https://github.com/githubnext/autoloop) automates repeated |
| 35 | +improvement loops in a repository: define a goal, target files, and a measurable |
| 36 | +evaluation, and it keeps only changes that improve the metric. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Agent install comamnd: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +```text |
| 41 | +Install autoloop using https://github.com/githubnext/autoloop/blob/main/install.md |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### Crane |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +[Crane](https://githubnext.com/posts/crane/) automates verified code migrations, |
| 47 | +planning and applying migration steps while preserving behavior through tests and |
| 48 | +health checks. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Agent install comamnd: |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +```text |
| 53 | +Install crane using https://github.com/githubnext/crane/blob/main/install.md |
| 54 | +``` |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +### Goal |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +[Goal](https://github.com/githubnext/goal) turns a GitHub issue into a durable |
| 59 | +agentic workflow that keeps working on the same branch and pull request until |
| 60 | +the issue's completion contract is satisfied. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Agent install comamnd: |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +```text |
| 65 | +Install goal using https://github.com/githubnext/goal/blob/main/install.md |
| 66 | +``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +## How to use one in your repo |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +1. Clone your repository locally, if you do not already have it. |
| 71 | +2. Start Copilot or the coding agent of your choice in that repository. |
| 72 | +3. Think of a task you want to accomplish in your repo, and match it with one of the tools above |
| 73 | +4. Paste the tool's install prompt into your agent. |
| 74 | +5. Ask for help! |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +After today, find us in our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/K2mVGbR9bK). We would love to help you on your agentic workflows journey. |
