Pull Request Overview
This PR updates documentation and templates to reflect a change in how users interact with the workflow creation feature. Instead of using a /create-agentic-workflow command directly, users now access the feature through the /agent command and select create-agentic-workflow from a list of custom agents.
- Terminology shift from "prompt template" to "custom agent"
- Instructions updated to use
/agentcommand followed by agent selection - File path references changed from
.github/prompts/to.github/agents/
