Description

Added comprehensive GitHub Agentic Workflows skill (32KB, 1,301 lines) covering AI-driven automation with Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, orchestration patterns, and OWASP Agentic Top 10 2026 security framework.

Core Coverage:

  • MCP integration with 11 toolsets (repos, issues, pull_requests, actions, security, projects)
  • 4 orchestration patterns: single agent, handoff, reflection, magnetic orchestration
  • Safe inputs/outputs with threat detection (prompt injection, secrets, malicious code)
  • OWASP Agentic ASI01-10 mitigation strategies
  • 3 production examples: issue triage, security orchestrator, JavaDoc generator

Key Architecture:

---
on: issues
permissions: read-all
tools:
  github:
    toolsets: [issues, repos]
safe-outputs:
  create-comment:
    max: 1
  threat-detection:
    enabled: true

# Natural language instructions
Analyze issue, recommend labels, suggest assignees.
Defense-in-depth: compile → runtime → permissions → threat detection → safe outputs

Skills library: 41 → 51 (+10 from previous expansion)

  5. Output sanitization

Release Notes

Added GitHub Agentic Workflows skill covering AI-driven automation with MCP tools, orchestration patterns, safe inputs/outputs, and OWASP Agentic Top 10 2026 security. Includes 3 production-ready examples (issue triage, security orchestrator, JavaDoc generator) and comprehensive documentation of 11 MCP toolsets. Skills library expanded to 51 (+10 from v1.75).
