The threat detection engine failed to produce results.

Review the workflow run logs for details.

Persona Overview

• Agent: agentic-workflows
• Personas This Run: Information Worker, QA Tester, Product Manager
• Scenarios Tested: 0
• Average Quality Score: N/A

Key Findings

• Selected the three previously unexplored personas and generated six representative scenarios spanning scheduled, PR, and on-demand workflows.
• Local gh-aw guidance consistently recommends read-only agent permissions, safe-output mediated writes, and explicit noop behavior.
• I could not execute a live custom-agent evaluation from this environment, so no per-scenario response scoring was captured.
• This run still produced useful partial results for rotation tracking and scenario inventory.

Top Patterns

1. Scheduled digests dominate Information Worker and Product Manager scenarios.
2. PR-scoped analysis with comments is the natural fit for QA coverage review.
3. Security posture is consistently minimal-permission with safe outputs.

View Generated Scenarios

• INF-1: Weekly stale documentation digest for files untouched for 90 days
• INF-2: On-demand meeting note synthesizer for issue or discussion threads
• QA-1: Analyze PR test coverage changes and comment with risk-based recommendations
• QA-2: Nightly flaky test incident report grouped by suite and owner
• PRO-1: Weekly completed feature digest grouped by customer impact
• PRO-2: On-demand release readiness summary for a milestone

View Areas for Improvement

• The environment did not expose a usable invocation path for the agentic-workflows custom agent itself.
• The persona explorer would benefit from a documented fallback scoring method for agent-unavailable runs.
• Batch-vs-per-scenario comparison could not be exercised without live responses.

Recommendations

1. Add explicit invocation guidance for research/evaluation mode to .github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md.
2. Add a fallback evaluation procedure for unavailable-agent environments to .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md.
3. Update the persona explorer prompt to treat invocation failure as a standard partial-results outcome with scoring marked unavailable.
