GitHub Agentic Workflows lacked dedicated instructions for generating ASCII charts that render reliably in GitHub markdown surfaces. This change adds a focused guidance document and wires dispatcher routing so chart-generation requests consistently load it.

  • New guidance: .github/aw/asciicharts.md

    • Adds a compact ASCII chart playbook for GitHub issues/comments/discussions.
    • Defines hard rendering constraints (fenced blocks, spaces-only, width/height targets, mobile-safe layout).
    • Standardizes preferred glyphs, chart types (sparkline, bars, table+trend), alignment rules, scaling behavior, and output priorities.
  • Dispatcher routing update: .github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md

    • Adds an explicit routing entry for markdown ASCII chart rendering requests.
    • Adds a dedicated “Render ASCII Charts in Markdown” prompt section with reference link and concrete use cases.
  • Example usage (from new guidance)
