| ### Tracking Imported Workflows | ||
|
|
||
| Imported workflows automatically include a `source:` field in their frontmatter for tracking origin and enabling updates: | ||
|
|
||
| ```yaml | ||
| --- | ||
| source: githubnext/agentics/workflows/ci-doctor.md@v1.0.0 | ||
| engine: copilot | ||
| --- | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| This enables you to keep imported workflows synchronized with their source using the `gh aw update` command. See [Packaging & Distribution](/gh-aw/guides/packaging-imports/) for details on managing and updating imported workflows. | ||
|
|
||
| > [!NOTE] | ||
| > The agent handles all aspects of importing including fetching remote files, resolving dependencies, configuring secrets, and ensuring compatibility with your repository setup. |

#11969) * Initial plan * Investigate firewall 0 requests issue Co-authored-by: Mossaka <5447827+Mossaka@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix AWF command quoting to ensure agent runs inside firewall container The compound command after -- was not properly quoted, causing the && operator to be interpreted by the outer shell. This resulted in: 1. AWF container running only the PATH export (which exits immediately) 2. Copilot agent running on the host AFTER the firewall container stopped 3. Firewall reporting 0 requests Now the entire command is wrapped in single quotes so it's passed to AWF as a single argument, ensuring Copilot runs inside the firewall container.
