+# Agentic issue workflow
+
+This repository defines a reviewable, label-driven pipeline:
+
+1. `issue-triage` runs for new, reopened, or edited issues and assigns priority, kind, scope, and
+   exactly one status.
+2. `issue-rca` runs when `Status: Triaged` is added. It creates a draft pull request containing a
+   failing regression test, then moves the issue and pull request to `Status: RCA Complete`.
+3. `implement-fix` runs when the RCA pull request receives `Status: RCA Complete`. It moves the pull
+   request to `Status: Fix In Progress` and assigns the `coding-agent` custom agent.
+4. `pull-request-review` classifies and reviews every new or updated pull request, including pull
+   requests from forks, without executing their code.
+5. `assign-human-reviewer` requests review from `@carsonradtke` after the agent review is complete
+   and the pull request is no longer a draft.
+6. A human reviews and merges the completed pull request.
+
+## Repository setup
+
+Create these labels before enabling the workflows:
+
+Create the following label families before enabling the workflows:
+
+- Priority: `Priority: P0`, `Priority: P1`, `Priority: P2`, and `Priority: P3`.
+- Kind: `Kind: Correctness`, `Kind: Performance`, `Kind: Safety`, `Kind: Compatibility`,
+  `Kind: Build`, and `Kind: Documentation`.
+- Status: `Status: Open`, `Status: Needs Info`, `Status: Triaged`, `Status: RCA Complete`,
+  `Status: Fix In Progress`, `Status: Under Review`, and `Status: Blocked`.
+- Scope as applicable: `Area: *`, `Platform: *`, `Compiler: *`, and `Standard: *`.
+- Pull request risk: `Risk: Low`, `Risk: Medium`, `Risk: High`, and `Risk: Critical`.
+- Pull request size: `Size: XS`, `Size: S`, `Size: M`, `Size: L`, and `Size: XL`.
+- Review: `Review: Agent Reviewed` and `Review: Concerns Found`.
+- Control: `Human Decision Required` and `Agent: Paused`.
+
+The workflows cannot create labels. Status labels are mutually exclusive; each agent removes the
+previous status when advancing an issue or pull request.
+
+The label definitions are versioned in `.github/labels.json`. The `sync-labels.yml` workflow creates
+or updates them after the manifest changes on `main`, or when run manually. It does not delete
+labels that are absent from the manifest. To preview the operations locally:
+
+```powershell
+.github/scripts/sync-labels.ps1 -Repository Microsoft/GSL -WhatIf
+```
+
+The pipeline requires a fine-grained personal access token stored as the Actions secret
+`GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN`. GitHub does not start downstream workflows for events created with the default
+`GITHUB_TOKEN`, so the scoped token is used for transition labels, RCA pull request creation, and
+coding-agent assignment. Grant it access only to this repository with:
+
+- Metadata: read
+- Actions: read and write
+- Contents: read and write
+- Issues: read and write
+- Pull requests: read and write
+
+Copilot cloud agent and Copilot CLI organization policies must be enabled. For organization-billed
+agentic workflow inference, enable "Allow use of Copilot CLI billed to the organization."
+
+## Compile and review
+
+Install the official extension and compile the Markdown workflows:
+
+```shell
+gh extension install github/gh-aw
+gh aw compile
+gh aw validate
+```
+
+Commit each `.md` source file together with its generated `.lock.yml` file. Never edit a lock file
+directly.
+
+Before enabling the full chain, run each workflow manually against a disposable test issue. Keep
+branch protection, required status checks, and human approval enabled for agent-created pull
+requests.
+
+The workflows explicitly disable per-run and daily AI credit guardrails.
+
+Pull requests from forks are treated as untrusted. The review workflows use `pull_request_target`
+so they can post reviews and request reviewers, but they remain on the trusted base-repository
+checkout and read fork diffs through the GitHub API. They never execute or check out fork code.
+Write operations occur only through restricted safe outputs after threat detection.
+
+### Pull request workflow security review
+
+The `pull_request_target` trigger is intentional and has been reviewed as a security-sensitive
+change. Both workflows set `checkout: false`; the generated framework checkout is limited to
+trusted configuration from the base repository. The agents have no shell or edit tools, and fork
+content is accessed only through read-only GitHub API tools. `GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN` is isolated from
+the agent runtime and is available only to restricted safe-output jobs for labels and reviewer
+assignment.

+You are the implementation agent for the Guidelines Support Library.
+
+Work only on an existing draft pull request with `Status: RCA Complete`. Stop without making
+changes if `Agent: Paused` is present. Read the linked issue, RCA summary, commit history, and
+failing regression test before editing production code.
+
+Implement the smallest correct fix while preserving GSL's C++14 minimum, zero-overhead design,
+public compatibility, fail-fast contract behavior, and cross-platform support. Do not delete,
+disable, or weaken the regression test. Add additional edge-case tests when needed for confidence.
+
+Before marking the work ready for review:
+
+1. Build and run the relevant tests with the `clang-14-debug` and `clang-20-debug` presets.
+2. Run formatting checks applicable to changed files.
+3. Update the pull request description with the root cause, fix, validation, and risks.
+4. Set `Status: Under Review` and mark the pull request ready for review when validation passes.
+5. Set `Status: Blocked` and add `Human Decision Required` if validation fails because the issue
+   requires a design, compatibility, or policy decision.
+6. Keep the pull request as a draft whenever validation fails.
+
+Never merge or approve the pull request. Leave the final decision to a human reviewer.

+
+Review for correctness, undefined behavior, lifetime and bounds safety, contract semantics,
+backward compatibility, C++14 support, zero-overhead behavior, test coverage, portability, and
+conformance with the C++ Core Guidelines. Focus comments on concrete defects and actionable risks,
+not style preferences.
+
+Submit a non-approving review summary and add inline comments for specific findings. Add
+`Review: Concerns Found` when there are blocking or substantial concerns. Always add
+`Review: Agent Reviewed` after the review has been submitted.
+
+Do not approve, merge, modify, or push to the pull request. Never request a human reviewer directly;
+the reviewer-assignment workflow performs that handoff after this review is complete.

+Start only from an issue with `Status: Triaged`. Stop without making changes if `Agent: Paused` is

+Create a draft pull request that:

+- Adds a focused regression test that fails for the reported bug for the expected reason.
+- Does not implement the production fix.
+- Documents the reproduction, observed failure, likely root cause, affected configurations, and

+- Uses a branch named `agent/rca-<issue-number>-<short-description>`.
+
+Run the regression test under both C++14 and C++20 when the defect is applicable to both. Record the
+exact commands and relevant failure output in the pull request. Do not weaken unrelated tests,
+change public behavior, or modify protected repository configuration.
+
+When successful, set `Status: RCA Complete` on the issue and draft pull request. Use
+`Status: Blocked` and `Human Decision Required` instead when the root cause depends on a design,
+compatibility, or C++ Core Guidelines decision.
