Fixed in cd28e55 by declaring workflow_dispatch.inputs.command as an optional string input in workflows/repo-assist.md.


If these are non-empty (not ""), then you have been triggered via `/repo-assist <instructions>`. Follow the user's instructions instead of the normal scheduled workflow. Focus exclusively on those instructions. Apply all the same guidelines (read AGENTS.md, run formatters/linters/tests, be polite, use AI disclosure). Skip the weighted task selection and Task 11 reporting, and instead directly do what the user requested. If no specific instructions were provided (empty or blank), proceed with the normal scheduled workflow below.

Then exit - do not run the normal workflow after completing the instructions.
