GitHub presents Agentic Workflows, an innovative solution for automating repositories using multiple AI coding agents, including GitHub Copilot. The session, led by GitHub, highlights the intent-driven and secure nature of this new automation approach.

Introducing GitHub Agentic Workflows: Intent-Driven Repository Automation

GitHub is unveiling Agentic Workflows, a modern automation framework designed for repositories in the era of AI coding agents. These workflows are automated, intent-driven, and operate seamlessly within GitHub Actions.

Key Features

  • AI-Powered Automation: Integrate leading coding agents—GitHub Copilot, Claude by Anthropic, and OpenAI Codex—to automate repository tasks based on user intent.
  • Intent-Driven Workflows: Move beyond manual scripting and event-driven automation to workflows that understand and act on developer intent.
  • Safety and Guardrails: Agentic Workflows are built with robust security mechanisms to ensure safe operation and protect repositories from unintended or harmful automation.
  • Seamless Integration with GitHub Actions: These workflows run directly in GitHub Actions, leveraging the existing automation and CI infrastructure.

Getting Started

  • Visit the GitHub blog post on Agentic Workflows for a technical overview and setup instructions.
  • Begin automating your repositories today by activating Agentic Workflows within your GitHub Actions pipelines.

Supported Coding Agents

  • GitHub Copilot: AI-powered code completion and automation.
  • Claude by Anthropic: Large language model for code generation and reasoning.
  • OpenAI Codex: General-purpose coding agent for automation and integration.

Security and Guardrails

  • Agentic Workflows are developed with a strong focus on security, providing controls and monitoring to prevent unintended automation or code changes.
  • Guardrails help ensure automations comply with organizational policies and industry best practices.
