Glossary Updates - 2026-03-05

Scan Type

  • Incremental (daily - last 24 hours)
  • Full scan (weekly - last 7 days)

Terms Added

  • CentralRepoOps: New operational pattern added to docs (commit a0ed2f4). A MultiRepoOps variant using a single private repo as a control plane for large-scale cross-repository operations.
  • Trigger File: New concept documented in CentralRepoOps guide — a plain .yml workflow that separates trigger definitions from agentic workflow logic via workflow_call.
  • workflow_call: Trigger type enabling compiled workflows to be invoked by other workflows, documented in detail alongside the trigger file pattern.
  • Conclusion Job: Post-agent reporting/cleanup job documented in the updated Concurrency Control reference (commit 39cf121).

Pull request overview

Updates the documentation glossary to reflect newly documented patterns and workflow features added in recent docs changes (CentralRepoOps trigger file + workflow_call pattern, and conclusion job concurrency behavior).

Changes:

  • Adds glossary entries for Trigger File and workflow_call tied to the CentralRepoOps trigger-file pattern.
  • Adds a glossary entry for Conclusion Job referencing automatic concurrency behavior.
  • Adds a glossary entry for CentralRepoOps as an operational pattern variant of MultiRepoOps.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

### Conclusion Job

An automatically generated job in compiled workflows that handles post-agent reporting and cleanup. Receives a workflow-specific concurrency group (`gh-aw-conclusion-{workflow-name}`) to prevent collision when multiple agent instances run the same workflow concurrently. Requires no manual configuration — the compiler sets the group automatically. See [Concurrency Control](/gh-aw/reference/concurrency/).

The Conclusion Job concurrency group name here doesn’t match the compiler behavior or the Concurrency Control reference. The group is derived from the workflow ID/filename (see docs/reference/concurrency.md and pkg/workflow/notify_comment.go where it’s built from WorkflowID), so gh-aw-conclusion-{workflow-name} is misleading. Please update this to reflect the workflow ID/filename placeholder and keep placeholder formatting consistent with other glossary entries.

An automatically generated job in compiled workflows that handles post-agent reporting and cleanup. Receives a workflow-specific concurrency group (for example, `gh-aw-conclusion-{workflow-id}` derived from the workflow file name/ID) to prevent collision when multiple agent instances run the same workflow concurrently. Requires no manual configuration — the compiler sets the group automatically. See [Concurrency Control](/gh-aw/reference/concurrency/).

### Trigger File

A plain GitHub Actions workflow (`.yml`) that separates trigger definitions from agentic workflow logic. Calls a compiled orchestrator's `workflow_call` entry point in response to any GitHub event (issues, pushes, labels, manual dispatch). Decouples trigger changes from the compilation cycle — updating when an orchestrator runs requires editing only the trigger file, not recompiling the agentic workflow. See [CentralRepoOps](/gh-aw/patterns/central-repo-ops/).

In GitHub Actions, “labels” aren’t a top-level workflow trigger; label-based runs are typically issues/pull_request events with types: [labeled]. Consider rephrasing this parenthetical to avoid implying labels is its own event (e.g., “issue/PR label events”).
