Add Agentic Workflows as a new resource type

Add support for contributing Agentic Workflows — AI-powered repository automations that run coding agents in GitHub Actions, defined in markdown with natural language instructions (https://github.github.com/gh-aw). Changes: - Create workflows/ directory for community-contributed workflows - Add workflow metadata parsing (yaml-parser.mjs) - Add workflow README generation (update-readme.mjs, constants.mjs) - Add workflow data to website generation (generate-website-data.mjs) - Update README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and AGENTS.md with workflow docs, contributing guidelines, and code review checklists Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

+
+[Agentic Workflows](https://github.github.com/gh-aw) are AI-powered repository automations that run coding agents in GitHub Actions. Defined in markdown with natural language instructions, they enable scheduled and event-triggered automation with built-in guardrails.
+

+2. **Create a `README.md`**: Add a `README.md` with frontmatter containing `name`, `description`, `triggers`, and optionally `tags`
+3. **Add workflow files**: Include one or more `.md` workflow files with YAML frontmatter (`on`, `permissions`, `safe-outputs`) and natural language instructions
+4. **Add optional assets**: Include any helper scripts or configuration files referenced by the workflow
+5. **Update the README**: Run `npm run build` to update the generated README tables

+  issues: read
+safe-outputs:
+  create-issue:
+    title-prefix: "[daily-report] "
+    labels: [report]
+---
+
+## Daily Issues Report
+
+Create a daily summary of open issues for the team.
+
+## What to Include
+
+- New issues opened in the last 24 hours
+- Issues closed or resolved
+- Stale issues that need attention
+```
+
+#### Workflow Guidelines
+
+- **Security first**: Use least-privilege permissions and safe outputs instead of direct write access
+- **Clear instructions**: Write clear natural language instructions in the workflow body
+- **Descriptive names**: Use lowercase folder names with hyphens
+- **Test locally**: Use `gh aw run` to test workflows before contributing
+- **Documentation**: Include a thorough README explaining what the workflow does and how to use it
+- Learn more at the [Agentic Workflows documentation](https://github.github.com/gh-aw)

+
+**To Install:**
+- Install the `gh aw` CLI extension: `gh extension install github/gh-aw`
+- Copy the workflow `.md` file to your repository's `.github/workflows/` directory
+- Compile with `gh aw compile` to generate the `.lock.yml` file
+- Commit both the `.md` and `.lock.yml` files
+
+**To Activate/Use:**
+- Workflows run automatically based on their configured triggers (schedules, events, slash commands)
+- Use `gh aw run <workflow>` to trigger a manual run
+- Monitor runs with `gh aw status` and `gh aw logs`
+
+**When to Use:**
+- Automate issue triage and labeling
+- Generate daily status reports
+- Maintain documentation automatically
