Initialize repository for agentic workflows. Configures `.gitattributes`, creates the dispatcher agent file (`.github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md`), and performs non-interactive setup. Enables MCP server integration by default (use `--no-mcp` to skip).

> [!NOTE]
> The dispatcher agent file (`.github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md`) is only used by the **Copilot** engine. If you use Claude, Codex, or Gemini exclusively, you can safely delete this file; it has no effect on other engines. `gh aw init` also has no public `--engine` option.

```bash wrap
gh aw init # Initialize repository with defaults (non-interactive)
gh aw init --no-mcp # Skip MCP server integration
