Repository Overview

Intro and Architecture Diagram

GitHub Agentic Workflows is a secure framework that compiles high-level Markdown workflow definitions into executable GitHub Actions. It acts as an orchestrator for AI agents, wrapping them in a rigorous defense-in-depth architecture that includes network firewalls, execution sandboxes, and a Safe Outputs system to validate and approve any changes (like Pull Requests) before they affect the repository.

Ch.01 CORE
Workflow Compiler
Welcome to the GitHub Agentic Workflows tutorial! We are starting with the absolute core of the system: the Workflow Compiler.
↗
Ch.02 AGENTS
Agentic Engine Interface
In Chapter 1: Workflow Compiler, we learned how to turn a simple Markdown sketch into a complex GitHub Actions blueprint.
↗
Ch.03 CORE
Safe Outputs System
In Chapter 2: Agentic Engine Interface, we gave our workflow a "brain" by plugging in an AI model (like Copilot or Claude).
↗
Ch.04 CORE
Isolation Layer (Firewall & Sandbox)
In Chapter 3: Safe Outputs System, we acted like a bank manager, ensuring that the AI agent couldn't rob the vault (your repository) by str…
↗
Ch.05 CORE
Threat Detection Layer
In Chapter 4: Isolation Layer (Firewall & Sandbox), we locked our AI agent inside a secure room. We ensured it couldn't download viruses fr…
↗
Ch.06 ADVANCED
MCP Server Bridge
In Chapter 5: Threat Detection Layer, we acted as security guards, scanning the AI's output for malicious code or hidden traps.
↗
Ch.07 CORE
Console UI & Formatting
In Chapter 6: MCP Server Bridge, we gave our AI agent "hands" to run commands and fetch data. The agent can now check statuses, read logs,…
