Release Update Check¶

Check for new ai-github-actions releases and open a PR updating pinned workflow SHAs, with suggestions based on release notes.

How it works¶

Checks the elastic/ai-github-actions releases page for versions newer than the ones pinned in the repo's workflow files. When a new release is found, opens a PR that updates all pinned SHA references and summarizes the relevant release notes.

Quick Install¶

mkdir -p .github/workflows && curl -sL \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/v0/gh-agent-workflows/release-update/example.yml \
  -o .github/workflows/release-update.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-pull-request — open a PR with workflow reference updates
