+
+# Recompile Agentic Workflows
+
+Use this skill when you need to regenerate all agentic workflow lock files and apply post-processing.
+
+## IMPORTANT: Post-processing is required after EVERY lock file change
+
+Any time `.lock.yml` files are regenerated — whether via `gh aw compile`, `gh aw upgrade`, or any other gh-aw command — you MUST run the post-processing script afterward. This is not optional.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Compile or upgrade workflows
+
+Use whichever command is appropriate:
+
+```bash
+# Full upgrade (updates agents, actions, codemods, then compiles)
+gh aw upgrade
+
+# Just recompile (when only .md workflow files changed)
+gh aw compile
+```
+
+If any workflow fails to compile (e.g., strict mode violations like `contents: write`), fix the `.md` source file and re-run.
+
+### 2. Run post-processing script (ALWAYS)
+
+**This step MUST run every time lock files are regenerated, regardless of how they were generated.**
+
+The post-processing script replaces the "Install awf binary" step in smoke and build-test workflows with local build+install steps, so CI tests the repo's own code instead of a released binary.
+
+```bash
+npx ts-node scripts/ci/postprocess-smoke-workflows.ts
+```
+
+This updates these lock files:
+- `smoke-copilot.lock.yml`
+- `smoke-claude.lock.yml`
+- `smoke-chroot.lock.yml`
+- `build-test-node.lock.yml`
+- `build-test-go.lock.yml`
+- `build-test-rust.lock.yml`
+- `build-test-java.lock.yml`
+- `build-test-cpp.lock.yml`
+- `build-test-deno.lock.yml`
+- `build-test-bun.lock.yml`
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### Strict mode violations
+Newer gh-aw versions enforce strict mode which disallows write permissions like `contents: write`, `issues: write`, etc. Workflows should use `safe-outputs` for write operations and only request `read` permissions.
+
+### Discussion category warnings
+Warnings about "General" vs "general" discussion category casing are non-blocking.
+
+## Verification
+
+After both steps, run `git diff --stat` to review all changed files. Expect changes in:
+- `.github/agents/` - Updated agent files
+- `.github/aw/actions-lock.json` - Updated action pins
+- `.github/workflows/*.lock.yml` - Regenerated lock files
+- `.github/workflows/*.md` - If codemods applied fixes
