GitHub has launched Agentic Workflows in technical preview, allowing developers to automate repository tasks using AI agents within GitHub Actions. Instead of writing complex YAML, workflows are defined in plain Markdown files placed in `.github/workflows/`, describing automation goals in natural language. The system converts these into standard GitHub Actions that execute using GitHub Copilot CLI or other coding agents. Features include read-only default permissions, sandboxed execution, support for multiple AI agents, and deep GitHub integration. Use cases include issue triage, pull request reviews, CI failure analysis, and repository maintenance. The feature is available through the `gh aw` CLI extension and is fully open source under MIT license.
