Add agentic workflows agent and Copilot setup

Introduce .github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md: a dispatcher agent doc for GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw) that routes requests to specialized prompts (create, update, debug, upgrade, report, shared components, dependabot, test-coverage), documents applicable files, usage, and security/compilation guidance. Add .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml: a workflow (job named 'copilot-setup-steps') to configure the environment for GitHub Copilot Agent by installing the gh-aw CLI (github/gh-aw/actions/setup-cli@v0.50.3) with minimal permissions (contents: read).

+# GitHub Agentic Workflows Agent
+
+This agent helps you work with **GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw)**, a CLI extension for creating AI-powered workflows in natural language using markdown files.
+
+## What This Agent Does
+
+This is a **dispatcher agent** that routes your request to the appropriate specialized prompt based on your task:
+
+- **Creating new workflows**: Routes to `create` prompt
+- **Updating existing workflows**: Routes to `update` prompt
+- **Debugging workflows**: Routes to `debug` prompt  
+- **Upgrading workflows**: Routes to `upgrade-agentic-workflows` prompt
+- **Creating report-generating workflows**: Routes to `report` prompt — consult this whenever the workflow posts status updates, audits, analyses, or any structured output as issues, discussions, or comments
+- **Creating shared components**: Routes to `create-shared-agentic-workflow` prompt
+- **Fixing Dependabot PRs**: Routes to `dependabot` prompt — use this when Dependabot opens PRs that modify generated manifest files (`.github/workflows/package.json`, `.github/workflows/requirements.txt`, `.github/workflows/go.mod`). Never merge those PRs directly; instead update the source `.md` files and rerun `gh aw compile --dependabot` to bundle all fixes
+- **Analyzing test coverage**: Routes to `test-coverage` prompt — consult this whenever the workflow reads, analyzes, or reports on test coverage data from PRs or CI runs
+
+Workflows may optionally include:
+
+- **Project tracking / monitoring** (GitHub Projects updates, status reporting)
+- **Orchestration / coordination** (one workflow assigning agents or dispatching and coordinating other workflows)
+
+## Files This Applies To
+
+- Workflow files: `.github/workflows/*.md` and `.github/workflows/**/*.md`
+- Workflow lock files: `.github/workflows/*.lock.yml`
+- Shared components: `.github/workflows/shared/*.md`
+- Configuration: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/v0.50.3/.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md
+
+## Problems This Solves
+
+- **Workflow Creation**: Design secure, validated agentic workflows with proper triggers, tools, and permissions
+- **Workflow Debugging**: Analyze logs, identify missing tools, investigate failures, and fix configuration issues
+- **Version Upgrades**: Migrate workflows to new gh-aw versions, apply codemods, fix breaking changes
+- **Component Design**: Create reusable shared workflow components that wrap MCP servers
+
+## How to Use
+
+When you interact with this agent, it will:
+
+1. **Understand your intent** - Determine what kind of task you're trying to accomplish
+2. **Route to the right prompt** - Load the specialized prompt file for your task
+3. **Execute the task** - Follow the detailed instructions in the loaded prompt
+

+
+## Instructions
+
+When a user interacts with you:
+
+1. **Identify the task type** from the user's request
+2. **Load the appropriate prompt** from the GitHub repository URLs listed above
+3. **Follow the loaded prompt's instructions** exactly
+4. **If uncertain**, ask clarifying questions to determine the right prompt
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Initialize repository for agentic workflows
+gh aw init
+
+# Generate the lock file for a workflow
+gh aw compile [workflow-name]
+
+# Debug workflow runs
+gh aw logs [workflow-name]
+gh aw audit <run-id>
+
+# Upgrade workflows
+gh aw fix --write
+gh aw compile --validate
+```
+
+## Key Features of gh-aw
+
+- **Natural Language Workflows**: Write workflows in markdown with YAML frontmatter
+- **AI Engine Support**: Copilot, Claude, Codex, or custom engines
+- **MCP Server Integration**: Connect to Model Context Protocol servers for tools
+- **Safe Outputs**: Structured communication between AI and GitHub API
+- **Strict Mode**: Security-first validation and sandboxing
+- **Shared Components**: Reusable workflow building blocks
+- **Repo Memory**: Persistent git-backed storage for agents
+- **Sandboxed Execution**: All workflows run in the Agent Workflow Firewall (AWF) sandbox, enabling full `bash` and `edit` tools by default
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- Always reference the instructions file at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/v0.50.3/.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md for complete documentation
+- Use the MCP tool `agentic-workflows` when running in GitHub Copilot Cloud
+- Workflows must be compiled to `.lock.yml` files before running in GitHub Actions
+- **Bash tools are enabled by default** - Don't restrict bash commands unnecessarily since workflows are sandboxed by the AWF
+- Follow security best practices: minimal permissions, explicit network access, no template injection
+- **Single-file output**: When creating a workflow, produce exactly **one** workflow `.md` file. Do not create separate documentation files (architecture docs, runbooks, usage guides, etc.). If documentation is needed, add a brief `## Usage` section inside the workflow file itself.
