Dan Velton 5bed97868a Add automate-this plugin: screen recording to automation scripts (#930)
* Add automate-this plugin: screen recording to automation scripts

New plugin that analyzes screen recordings of manual processes and
proposes working automation scripts at multiple complexity tiers.

Features:
- Frame extraction via ffmpeg for visual process reconstruction
- Optional audio transcription via Whisper for narrated recordings
- Environment fingerprinting to constrain proposals to installed tools
- Application-specific automation strategies (browser, spreadsheet,
  email, terminal, file management, macOS-native)
- Three-tier proposal system (quick win, full script, scheduled automation)
- Dry-run support for safe testing of all proposals

* Address code review feedback on automate-this plugin

- Fix privacy section: clarify that frames/audio are processed locally
  but sent to the Copilot model for analysis (not purely local)
- Replace 'which' with 'command -v' for reliable tool detection with
  explicit NO_FFMPEG/NO_WHISPER sentinels
- Use per-run secure temp directory (mktemp -d, mode 0700) instead of
  fixed /tmp/ paths to prevent other users reading extracted frames
- Add -y flag and -loglevel warning to ffmpeg calls to prevent
  overwrite prompts and avoid piping hiding exit codes
- Add whisper-cpp CLI invocation path so users who install only
  whisper-cpp get working transcription
- Fix grouped command syntax in environment fingerprint to prevent
  false 'not installed' fallthrough

Agentic Workflows

Agentic Workflows are AI-powered repository automations that run coding agents in GitHub Actions. Defined in markdown with natural language instructions, they enable event-triggered and scheduled automation with built-in guardrails and security-first design.

How to Contribute

See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines on how to contribute new workflows, improve existing ones, and share your use cases.

How to Use Agentic Workflows

What's Included:

  • Each workflow is a single .md file with YAML frontmatter and natural language instructions
  • Workflows are compiled to .lock.yml GitHub Actions files via gh aw compile
  • Workflows follow the GitHub Agentic Workflows specification

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
  • Run scheduled code quality checks
  • Respond to slash commands in issues and PRs
  • Orchestrate multi-step repository automation
Name Description Triggers
Daily Issues Report Generates a daily summary of open issues and recent activity as a GitHub issue schedule
OSPO Contributors Report Monthly contributor activity metrics across an organization's repositories. schedule, workflow_dispatch
OSPO Organization Health Report Comprehensive weekly health report for a GitHub organization. Surfaces stale issues/PRs, merge time analysis, contributor leaderboards, and actionable items needing human attention. schedule, workflow_dispatch
OSPO Stale Repository Report Identifies inactive repositories in your organization and generates an archival recommendation report. schedule, workflow_dispatch
OSS Release Compliance Checker Analyzes a target repository against open source release requirements and posts a detailed compliance report as an issue comment. issues, workflow_dispatch
Relevance Check Slash command to evaluate whether an issue or pull request is still relevant to the project slash_command, roles
Relevance Summary Manually triggered workflow that summarizes all open issues and PRs with a /relevance-check response into a single issue workflow_dispatch
