Summary

  • Add two new specialized detector workflows: product-manager-impersonator and refactor-opportunist.
  • Add compiled workflow definitions and triggers:
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-product-manager-impersonator.md
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-product-manager-impersonator.lock.yml
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-refactor-opportunist.md
    • .github/workflows/gh-aw-refactor-opportunist.lock.yml
    • .github/workflows/trigger-product-manager-impersonator.yml
    • .github/workflows/trigger-refactor-opportunist.yml
  • Add workflow docs and examples:
    • gh-agent-workflows/product-manager-impersonator/README.md
    • gh-agent-workflows/product-manager-impersonator/example.yml
    • gh-agent-workflows/refactor-opportunist/README.md
    • gh-agent-workflows/refactor-opportunist/example.yml
  • Update references in:
    • gh-agent-workflows/README.md
    • scripts/quick-setup.sh

Behavior

  • Both workflows are configured to create at most one issue per run (create-issue.max: 1) with workflow-specific title prefixes.
  • product-manager-impersonator runs on weekdays (0 10 * * 1-5), and refactor-opportunist runs weekly on Monday (0 14 * * 1).
  • Both workflows support manual workflow_dispatch.

Validation

  • make compile — 0 errors
  • make lint — all checks pass

Generated by Update PR Body

Add two new continuous improvement workflows:

- ideas-man: Proposes well-researched new feature ideas as GitHub issues.
  Reviews the codebase and recent activity to propose customer-aligned,
  grounded, tractable features. Runs weekdays on schedule.

- refactor-proposal: Senior architect that identifies structural improvements,
  partially implements them to prove viability, then pitches via an issue
  with proof-of-concept and incremental rollout plan. Runs weekly.

Both workflows follow the scheduled-audit pattern and include:
- Source .md workflow definitions
- example.yml triggers
- README.md documentation
- Compiled .lock.yml files
- Auto-generated trigger files

Also updates quick-setup.sh and gh-agent-workflows/README.md to include
both workflows in the continuous-improvement set.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds two new Copilot-based agent workflows (Product Manager Impersonator and Refactor Opportunist), their reusable GitHub Actions lock files, trigger workflows, README docs, example workflow files, and registers both workflows in the quick-setup script and top-level README.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Quick setup & catalog
gh-agent-workflows/README.md, scripts/quick-setup.sh
Added "product-manager-impersonator" and "refactor-opportunist" to detectors and the continuous_improvement_workflows list.

@copilot maybe rename to product-manager-impersonator and refactor-opportunist?

…l to refactor-opportunist

Renames both workflows per review feedback:
- ideas-man → product-manager-impersonator
- refactor-proposal → refactor-opportunist

Updates all source files, examples, READMEs, triggers, lock files,
gh-agent-workflows/README.md, and scripts/quick-setup.sh.

Renamed in c5855c1: ideas-manproduct-manager-impersonator, refactor-proposalrefactor-opportunist. All source files, examples, READMEs, triggers, lock files, quick-setup.sh, and the workflows README updated. make compile and make lint pass clean.

@copilot i dont think this should close old reports

…tor-opportunist

Each run proposes a unique idea/refactor, so older reports should not
be auto-closed when a new one is filed.

@copilot i dont think this should close old reports

Removed close-older-issues and expires from both workflows in 387fde3. Each run proposes a unique idea/refactor so older reports will now stay open.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Resolve reviewer objection to auto-closing behavior.

The documentation states the workflow "auto-closes older reports," but strawgate explicitly objected to this behavior in the PR comments. This must be resolved before merge—either remove the auto-closing feature or update the documentation if it was already removed.

Requesting changes because the two new workflow definitions still enable automatic closing of older issues, which conflicts with the intended behavior of preserving unique ideas/refactor proposals across runs.

[LOW] Safe output behavior description is stale

The workflow definition at .github/workflows/gh-aw-product-manager-impersonator.md no longer sets close-older-issues, but this README still states that create-issue "auto-closes older reports". This can mislead users about issue lifecycle behavior; please update this line to match the current workflow configuration.
