What it is

A GitHub CLI extension that turns Markdown files with YAML frontmatter into standard GitHub Actions workflows that run an AI agent such as Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini. Maintainers use it for tasks that need judgment, like triaging issues, reviewing pull requests, investigating CI failures, or keeping docs current. Agent jobs run read-only in a sandbox by default, and any writes back to GitHub pass through separate validated jobs with scoped permissions.
