### Workflow Failure

**Workflow:** [Text Auditor](#)
**Branch:** main
**Run:** https://github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/actions/runs/24457537218

### Action Required

**Assign this issue to Copilot** using the `agentic-workflows` sub-agent to automatically debug and fix the workflow failure.

Debug with any coding agent

Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.):

````
Debug the agentic workflow failure using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/debug.md

The failed workflow run is at https://github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/actions/runs/24457537218
````

Manually invoke the agent

Debug this workflow failure using your favorite Agent CLI and the `agentic-workflows` prompt.

- Start your agent
- Load the `agentic-workflows` prompt from `.github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md` or
- Type `debug the agentic workflow gh-aw-text-auditor failure in https://github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/actions/runs/24457537218`

> [!TIP]
>
> Stop reporting this workflow as a failure
>
> To stop a workflow from creating failure issues, set `report-failure-as-issue: false` in its frontmatter:
> ```yaml
> safe-outputs:
> report-failure-as-issue: false
> ```

Research direction

Start with the failed Text Auditor run and its Copilot driver output, then read .github/agents/agentic-workflows.agent.md and the linked gh-aw debug guide. Determine why the Copilot process exits without output and verify any workflow change by rerunning the Text Auditor successfully.
