Description

### Workflow Failure

**Workflow:** [Issue Classification Agent](https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/blob/main/.github/workflows/issue-classification.md)
**Branch:** main
**Run:** https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34642637792

**Agent Timed Out**: The agent job exceeded the maximum allowed execution time (10 minutes).

To increase the timeout, add or update the `timeout-minutes` setting in your workflow's frontmatter:

```yaml
---
timeout-minutes: 20
---
```

### Action Required

**Assign this issue to an agent** to debug and fix the issue.

Optimize token consumption

This failure was triggered by a guardrail limit (max-turns / timeout). Use this prompt with any coding agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc.) to analyze token usage and reduce costs:

````
Optimize the agentic workflow token consumption using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw/main/optimize.md

The workflow run is at https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34642637792
````

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/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34642637792
````

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` skill from `.github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md` or
- Type `debug the agentic workflow issue-classification failure in https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk/actions/runs/34642637792`

> [!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 .github/workflows/issue-classification.md and inspect the failed run linked in the issue, especially its timeout and token-consumption behavior. Check the workflow frontmatter and failure details; done means the Issue Classification Agent completes successfully without exceeding the allowed execution time.
