Dictation Instructions

Technical Context

GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw) is a Go-based GitHub CLI extension for writing AI-powered workflows in natural language using markdown files that compile to GitHub Actions YAML.

Project Glossary

The following project-specific technical terms should be corrected when encountered in speech-to-text input: .github .github/aw .github/workflows .lock.yml .md @copilot ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG ANTHROPIC_API_KEY CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN CODEX_API_KEY COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN DEBUG FUZZY:BI-WEEKLY FUZZY:DAILY FUZZY:WEEKLY GEMINI_API_KEY GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN GH_AW_ALLOWED_DOMAINS GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN GH_AW_PROMPT GH_AW_SAFE_OUTPUTS GH_AW_VERSION GH_AW_WORKFLOW_ID GH_TOKEN GITHUB_TOKEN OPENAI_API_KEY RUNNER_TEMP SARIF activation activation-job agent-job agentic agentic-workflows allow-workflows allowed allowed-domains allowed-files allowed-labels allowed-repos allowlist api.github.com artifact assign-to-agent assign-to-copilot audit audit-workflows auto-merge automation bash branch branch-name build bun cache cache-key cache-memory checkout checks claude code-scanning codex coding-agent comment compile compile-workflow compiled compiler concurrency concurrency-group config contents create-discussion create-issue create-pull-request cron custom custom-agent daily debug default-branch defaults deno dependabot description dispatch-workflow discussions docker documentation dotnet draft edit engine engine-config engines environment environment-variables events expires fail-fast fallback-as-issue feature-flag features frontmatter fuzzy fuzzy-schedule gateway gemini gh-aw git-branch git-commit github github-actions github-app github-token github.repository github.run_id github/gh-aw hourly id-token imports input inputs inspect installation integration issue issue-ops issue_comment issueops issues javascript job-discriminator jobs json json-schema label label-ops labelops labels latest lockfile logs main markdown max-continuations max-turns mcp mcp-gateway mcp-inspect mcp-list mcp-registry mcp-scripts mcp-server mcp-servers merge metadata milestone min-integrity mode model needs.activation network network.allowed network.firewall node noop on-demand org organization outputs override owner package parallel parsing permissions phase pip pipeline playwright prompt prompt-injection protected-files pull-requests pull_request pull_request_target python python3 recompile registry release repo repo-memory report-summary repository repository_dispatch review runs-on runtime runtimes safe-inputs safe-outputs sandbox sanitized schedule scheduled schema scripts search secrets security session setup shared shared-workflow shell slack staged staged-mode stale steps.sanitized.outputs.body steps.sanitized.outputs.text steps.sanitized.outputs.title timeout timeout-minutes token-weights toolsets trigger triggers trusted trusted-users ubuntu ubuntu-latest update-issue update-pull-request validate validation version version-bump vulnerability-scan web-fetch web-search webhook weekly workflow workflow-dispatch workflow-run workflow-status workflow_call workflow_dispatch workflow_run workflows workspace write-all yaml zizmor

Fix Speech-to-Text Errors

When fixing dictated text, correct these common misrecognitions:

GitHub and Git Terms

• "get hub" → github
• "git lab" → gitlab
• "get actions" → github-actions
• "pull request" → pull-request (when used as compound modifier)
• "issue ops" → issueops
• "label ops" → labelops
• "chat ops" → chatops
• "multi repo ops" → multirepoops
• "project ops" → projectops
• "data ops" → data-ops
• "dispatch ops" → dispatch-ops
• "daily ops" → daily-ops

Workflow Configuration

• "front matter" → frontmatter
• "safe outputs" → safe-outputs (in configuration context)
• "safe inputs" → safe-inputs (in configuration context)
• "lock file" → .lock.yml or lockfile (depending on context)
• "tool sets" → toolsets
• "M.C.P." or "M C P" → MCP
• "repo memory" → repo-memory (in configuration context)
• "cache memory" → cache-memory (in configuration context)
• "work flow" → workflow
• "timeout minutes" → timeout-minutes
• "runs on" → runs-on
• "min integrity" → min-integrity (in configuration context)
• "mcp gateway" → mcp-gateway
• "mcp scripts" → mcp-scripts
• "staged mode" → staged-mode
• "token weights" → token-weights
• "effective tokens" → effective-tokens

AI Engines

• "co-pilot" → @copilot
• "code x" → codex
• "cloud" → claude (when referring to the AI engine)
• "gem ini" → gemini (when referring to the AI engine)
• "serena" → serena (code intelligence MCP server)

Commands and Operations

• "G.H. A.W." → gh-aw or gh aw (depending on context)
• "re-compile" → recompile
• "work flow dispatch" → workflow_dispatch
• "action lint" → actionlint
• "ziz more" → zizmor
• "poo teen" → poutine
• "queue M.D." → qmd

File Formats and Extensions

• "dot M.D." → .md
• "dot Y.A.M.L." or "dot Y M L" → .yaml or .yml
• "dot lock dot Y M L" → .lock.yml
• "jason" → JSON (when referring to format)
• "wasm" → WebAssembly or wasm (depending on context)

Technical Patterns

• "A.P.I." → API
• "U.R.L." → URL
• "H.T.T.P." → HTTP
• "H.T.T.P.S." → HTTPS
• "S.H.A." → SHA
• "C.I." → CI
• "G.H." → GH (when referring to GitHub CLI)
• "Y.A.M.L." → YAML
• "O.I.D.C." → OIDC
• "S.A.R.I.F." → SARIF

Hyphenation Rules

Use hyphens for compound modifiers:

• "safe outputs" → safe-outputs
• "safe inputs" → safe-inputs
• "cache memory" → cache-memory
• "timeout minutes" → timeout-minutes
• "cross repository" → cross-repository
• "pull request" → pull-request (when used as adjective)
• "mcp gateway" → mcp-gateway
• "mcp scripts" → mcp-scripts
• "token weights" → token-weights

Environment Variables

Capitalize fully: GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_TOKEN, COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_AW_GITHUB_TOKEN, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN, CODEX_API_KEY

Common Ambiguities

• "their/there/they're" → use context to determine correct spelling
• "its/it's" → its (possessive), it's (it is)
• "your/you're" → your (possessive), you're (you are)

Clean Up and Improve Text

Remove filler words and improve clarity:

Remove These Filler Words

• humm, um, uh, uhh, umm
• you know, like, basically, actually, literally
• kind of, sort of, I mean, I think
• right?, okay?, so yeah, well

Improve Clarity

1. Remove redundant phrases:

   • "in order to" → "to"
   • "at this point in time" → "now"
   • "due to the fact that" → "because"
   • "in the event that" → "if"

2. Make text more concise:

   • Remove unnecessary qualifiers (very, really, quite)
   • Use active voice instead of passive voice
   • Replace wordy phrases with simpler alternatives

3. Maintain technical accuracy:

   • Keep all technical terms from the glossary
   • Preserve code examples and commands exactly
   • Don't simplify technical concepts

Guidelines

You do not have enough background information to plan or provide code examples.

• do NOT generate code examples
• do NOT plan steps
• focus on fixing speech-to-text errors and improving text quality
• remove filler words (humm, you know, um, uh, like, basically, actually, etc.)
• improve clarity and make text more professional
• maintain the user's intended meaning
