Adds "Updating Workflows" section documenting two methods for keeping workflows current:

  • CLI method: Both gh aw upgrade and gh aw update commands
    • gh aw upgrade - Upgrade to latest gh-aw engine version
    • gh aw update - Update added workflows
  • Agentic method: Interactive updates via /agent agentic-workflows for both bulk upgrades and individual workflow modifications

Example usage:

# CLI approach
gh aw upgrade  # Upgrade to latest gh-aw engine version
gh aw update   # Update added workflows

# Agentic approach
/agent agentic-workflows upgrade all workflows to the latest version
/agent agentic-workflows update the issue-triage workflow

Links to official gh-aw documentation for deeper reference.

Original prompt

Add a section on updating agentic workflows using cli command (update) or agentically by prompting with the agentic-workflows agent.

Add to README.md

  • research GitHub/gh-aw docs
  • link to gh-aw docs
  • keep it short and minimal, clear

💡 You can make Copilot smarter by setting up custom instructions, customizing its development environment and configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Learn more Copilot coding agent tips in the docs.
