### 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-workshop/actions/runs/34563307057
````

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-workshop/actions/runs/34563307057
````

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

Start with .github/workflows/workshop-sync-check.md and inspect the logs for run 34563307057. Determine whether the timeout reflects workflow duration or token/turn guardrails, then adjust the workflow as needed so the Workshop Sync Check completes successfully within its allowed execution time.
