The gh aw init command now generates custom agent files under .github/agents/ instead of prompt files under .github/prompts/. Documentation still referenced the old prompt system and incorrect usage patterns.

Changes

  • README.md: Updated reference from .github/prompts/create-agentic-workflow.prompt.md to .github/agents/create-agentic-workflow.md
  • docs/tools/cli.md: Updated to use /agent command and select from list instead of file path syntax
  • docs/tools/vscode.md: Updated section to use /agent command for activating custom agents
  • .github/agents/setup-agentic-workflows.md: Updated with step-by-step instructions using /agent command

Usage

Before:

activate @.github/prompts/create-agentic-workflow.prompt.md

After:

  1. Type /agent in Copilot Chat
  2. Select create-agentic-workflow from the list of available custom agents

This reflects the correct usage pattern in Copilot CLI where users type /agent and select from a list rather than typing file paths directly.

Original prompt

Review the documentation of prompt files added by the gh aw init command. The command now generate custom agent files under .github/agents instead of prompt file under .github/prompts . Find instances of "/create-agentic..." and update the wordning to use them as custom agents.
