What was mined

Source file: workshop/09-agentic-editing.md

The "What is the agentic-workflows skill?" section embedded a focused primer covering:

• what the skill does and where it lives
• how to invoke it from Copilot CLI
• the three task types (edit / debug / optimize) with example trigger phrases
• when to use gh aw compile directly instead
• a manual-path fallback for Copilot-less sessions

This is exactly the kind of focused, self-contained explainer that works better as an optional side quest than as required reading inside an action-oriented step.

What was extracted

New file: workshop/side-quest-09-02-agentic-workflows-skill.md

The side quest follows the standard side-quest template and covers the full skill primer. It includes an invocation walkthrough, the three-task-type reference table, a compile-vs-skill decision table, and the manual-path fallback.

How routing was updated

• 09-agentic-editing.md: The multi-paragraph primer was replaced with a short two-sentence summary and a [!TIP] callout linking to the new side quest. Learners on the main path get the essential context; learners who want the full reference can branch out.
• workshop/README.md: The new side quest is listed in the Optional Side Quests section, branching from Step 9.
• The return link at the bottom of the side quest points back to 09-agentic-editing.md.
