Agent Suggestions¶

Suggest new agent workflows based on software development needs and downstream activity.

Workflow source: gh-aw-agent-suggestions.md

How it works¶

Inventories existing workflows, reviews open issues and PRs for recurring unmet needs, and checks the activity of downstream users. Suggests new workflows that would fill clear gaps — and only files a report when there are high-confidence, non-duplicate suggestions.

Quick Install¶

mkdir -p .github/workflows && curl -sL \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/v0/gh-agent-workflows/agent-suggestions/example.yml \
  -o .github/workflows/agent-suggestions.yml

Trigger¶

Event	Schedule
`schedule`	Weekly
`workflow_dispatch`	Manual

Inputs¶

Input	Description	Required	Default
`additional-instructions`	Repo-specific instructions appended to the agent prompt	No	`""`
`setup-commands`	Shell commands run before the agent starts	No	`""`
`allowed-bot-users`	Allowlisted bot actor usernames (comma-separated)	No	`github-actions[bot]`

Safe Outputs¶

create-issue — file an agent suggestions report (max 1, auto-closes older reports)
