Heuristics can only take you so far in automation. There's no linter in existence that can tell you if your code and documentation have drifted out of sync. Agentic Workflows make it stupidly simple to express a task you want to delegate, forever — and have it do that for you, forever.

Core to the behavior of Agentic Workflows is the notion of safe outputs. The body of a workflow is markdown, but the frontmatter is where you explicitly define what the agent can read and write, and those are enforced outside of the agentic run.

We're seeing teams at GitHub use it for building tooling and workflows for themselves. We're seeing developer-adjacent personas at GitHub using agentic workflows to help them move information around. Software is a team sport and this helps everyone on the team, not just the engineers.
