+            Only `.md` markdown files are accepted in the `workflows/` directory. The following are **not allowed**:
+            - Compiled workflow files (`.yml`, `.yaml`, `.lock.yml`) — could contain untrusted Actions code
+            - `.github/` modifications — workflow contributions must not modify repository configuration

+
+            Contributors provide the workflow **source** (`.md`) only. Compilation happens downstream via `gh aw compile`.

+            Please remove these files and push again.

+### Adding Agentic Workflows
+
+[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.
+
+1. **Create your workflow file**: Add a new `.md` file in the `workflows/` directory (e.g., `daily-issues-report.md`)
+2. **Include frontmatter**: Add `name`, `description`, `triggers`, and optionally `tags` at the top, followed by agentic workflow frontmatter (`on`, `permissions`, `safe-outputs`) and natural language instructions
+3. **Test locally**: Compile with `gh aw compile --validate` to verify it's valid
+4. **Update the README**: Run `npm run build` to update the generated README tables
+
+> **Note:** Only `.md` files are accepted — do not include compiled `.lock.yml` or `.yml` files. CI will block them.
+
+#### Workflow file example
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: 'Daily Issues Report'
+description: 'Generates a daily summary of open issues and recent activity as a GitHub issue'
+triggers: ['schedule']
+tags: ['reporting', 'issues', 'automation']
+on:
+  schedule: daily on weekdays
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  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 filenames with hyphens (e.g., `daily-issues-report.md`)
+- **Test locally**: Use `gh aw compile --validate` to verify your workflow compiles
+- **No compiled files**: Only submit the `.md` source — `.lock.yml` and `.yml` files are not accepted
