Campaign workflows that assign work to Copilot (via assignees: copilot or assign-to-agent safe outputs) require GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN to be configured. The getting started guide only documented GH_AW_PROJECT_GITHUB_TOKEN.

Changes

  • Add GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN setup instructions in campaign getting started guide
  • Clarify when this token is needed (for assigning work to Copilot)
  • Link to agent assignment token reference documentation

The authentication section now documents both tokens users need to configure:

# For project access
gh aw secrets set GH_AW_PROJECT_GITHUB_TOKEN --value "YOUR_PROJECT_TOKEN"

# For assigning work to Copilot
gh aw secrets set GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN --value "YOUR_AGENT_TOKEN"
Original prompt

In campaign docs getting started, also mention GH_AW_AGENT_TOKEN.

@copilot Clarify that you need this when assinging work to Copilot.

Updated the text to clarify this is specifically for "assigning work to Copilot" rather than generic "agents to issues". The change makes it clearer that this token is needed when using Copilot agent assignment in campaigns. (7b6f23b)
