Description
The Documentation Noob Tester agent (#26873) identified three critical blockers that prevent new users from getting started with gh-aw:
-
githubnext/agentics namespace unexplained: The Quick Start instructs users to run gh aw add-wizard githubnext/agentics/daily-repo-status without ever explaining what githubnext/agentics means (is it a GitHub org? a marketplace? the user's own repo?). No link to the workflow catalog is provided.
-
COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN setup unclear: The Quick Start mentions the token but doesn't explain why two tokens are needed, what scopes are required, or provide a step-by-step token creation flow. Beginners get stuck here.
-
Sidebar navigation overload: The left sidebar lists 60+ reference topics with no clear entry path for new users — no "start here" callout, no progressive disclosure.
These were assessed as blocking issues — new users cannot complete setup without resolving them.
Expected Impact
Reduces friction for new users at the most critical onboarding step. Decreases the volume of "how do I get started" community questions. Improves first-impression quality, which directly affects adoption.
Suggested Agent
A documentation-focused agent (e.g., the existing Documentation Unbloat or a new Documentation Improver) with access to edit the Quick Start guide at the documentation site source.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1–4 hours): Add catalog explanation + link, add COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN callout with scopes, add "New here? Start with these 3 pages" sidebar callout.
