Description

### Workflow Failure

**Workflow:** [PR Sous Chef](https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/blob/main/.github/workflows/pr-sous-chef.md)
**Branch:** main
**Run:** https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/34489734120

**Agent Timed Out**: The agent job exceeded the maximum allowed execution time (15 minutes).

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

```yaml
---
timeout-minutes: 25
---
```

### 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/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/34489734120
````

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/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/34489734120
````

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 pr-sous-chef failure in https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/34489734120`

> [!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/pr-sous-chef.md and the failed run at https://github.com/githubnext/gh-aw-cao/actions/runs/34489734120. Inspect the workflow frontmatter and the run details to determine whether the 15-minute timeout or token consumption caused the failure. Done means the workflow completes successfully without the timed-out agent failure.
