🌟 Release Highlights

This release delivers a notable breaking change with a smooth migration path, a quality-of-life CLI improvement, and enhanced traceability in generated workflow outputs.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • app: frontmatter key renamed to github-app: — The GitHub App token configuration key has been renamed for clarity. A codemod is included to migrate your existing workflows automatically. Run gh aw update to apply the migration. (#19295)

✨ What's New

  • --no-compile flag for update and upgrade — Skip the recompilation step when updating or upgrading workflows, giving you faster iteration when you want to defer compilation. (#19325)
  • History links in generated footers — Issues, pull requests, and discussions created by agentic workflows now include a ◷ history link in their footer. Clicking it opens a pre-filtered GitHub search showing all items generated by that workflow, making it easy to audit workflow output at a glance. (#19321)

📚 Documentation

  • Added a cache-memory filename safety warning to the workflow authoring guide — filenames with colons (e.g. ISO 8601 timestamps) break artifact uploads on Windows runners. (#19326)
  • Added an explicit GitHub MCP requirement warning for all engine types in the workflow creation guide — clarifies that the Copilot coding agent cannot access api.github.com directly and must use the GitHub MCP server. (#19327)
  • General documentation refresh covering features released on 2026-03-03. (#19330)
