### 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/34566256786
````

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/34566256786
````

Manually invoke the agent

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

- Start your agent

Open .github/workflows/optimization-skills-curator.md and inspect the failed run 34566256786 first. Read the agentic-workflows skill or debug.md guidance, then identify the timeout or token-usage cause and adjust the workflow. Done means the workflow no longer exceeds its execution limit and a subsequent run completes successfully.
