The agent prompt for large-payload-tester contained incorrect step numbering (jumped 3→5, skipping 4) and a grammar error.

Changes

  • .github/agentics/large-payload-tester.md
    • Corrected Expected Behavior step sequence from 1,2,3,5,6,7 to 1,2,3,4,5,6
    • Fixed grammar: trying verifytrying to verify

Example

 **Success scenario:**
 1. Agent requests file `large-test-file.json` from filesystem MCP server.
 2. MCP server response includes path to full payload.
 3. Agent reads full payload from subdirectory of: `/tmp/gh-aw/mcp-payloads`
-5. Agent extracts secret from full payload.
-6. Agent requests file `secret.txt` from filesystem MCP server.
-7. Secrets in `large-test-file.json` and `secret.txt` match.
+4. Agent extracts secret from full payload.
+5. Agent requests file `secret.txt` from filesystem MCP server.
+6. Secrets in `large-test-file.json` and `secret.txt` match.

Since this file is runtime-imported, changes take effect immediately without recompilation.

Pull request overview

Updates the runtime-imported large-payload-tester agent prompt to correct a grammar issue and fix the “Expected Behavior” success-scenario step numbering so the instructions are consistent for test execution.

Changes:

  • Fixed grammar in the opening sentence (“trying verify” → “trying to verify”).
  • Corrected success-scenario step numbering from a skipped sequence to a continuous 1–6 list.
