GitHub introduces agentic workflows (technical preview), where GitHub explains how to write intent-driven repository workflows in Markdown and run them with coding agents inside GitHub Actions for tasks like maintainer reports and CI-failure fixes.

Automate your repo with GitHub agentic workflows

GitHub is previewing agentic workflows, a way to author intent-driven repository workflows in plain Markdown and execute them with coding agents in GitHub Actions.

What agentic workflows are

• Run the workflow using coding agents inside GitHub Actions.
• Intended to automate a wide range of repository tasks.

Example tasks mentioned

• Generating daily maintainer reports
• Proposing fixes for CI failures
• “Automate almost anything” (as positioned in the description)
