Pull request overview
Adds a new “design-first” pre-authoring prompt (workflow-designer) and updates the agentic-workflows dispatcher (and its embedded/template sources) so requests to design a workflow conversationally route to that prompt before workflow generation.
Changes:
- Introduces
.github/aw/workflow-designer.md, a structured interview flow that turns an automation goal into a confirmed, generation-ready workflow config. - Updates the agentic-workflows dispatcher templates + checked-in SKILL to mention workflow “design” and route interview-based design requests to the new prompt.
- Extends CLI tests and fallback AW file list to ensure dispatcher generation includes the new routing and embedded file list entry.

@copilot as part of the conversation ask if there are any other third-party services or mcp servers that should be part of the workflow, look up what auth tokens those might need and then tell the user which action secrets or environment variables to set. the designer should also help with GHE deployments. |

This PR adds a new pre-authoring skill for users who know the automation goal but not the gh-aw primitives, updates routing so agents can consistently choose it when asked to design a workflow conversationally, incorporates token-efficiency defaults from the issue addendum, and ensures init writes the designer skill into user repositories. It complements existing prompts by sitting before workflow creation and producing a confirmed, generation-ready config.
