[workshop-sync] side-quest-06-04-install-local.md: gh aw init file list and stale version example are inaccurate #3089
This creates several files needed for agentic workflow authoring: .github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md, .github/skills/agentic-workflow-designer/SKILL.md, .github/agents/agentic-workflows.md, .github/mcp.json, .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml, and .vscode/settings.json.
The live gh aw init --help snapshot (v0.88.2) describes this command's actual behavior:
Configures .gitattributes
Creates the dispatcher skill at .github/skills/agentic-workflows/SKILL.md
Removes old prompt files from .github/prompts/ if present
Configures .vscode/settings.json
Generates .github/workflows/agentics-maintenance.yml (conditionally, if any workflow uses expires)
With --engine copilot: creates .github/agents/agentic-workflows.md
With --engine copilot (and not --no-mcp): creates .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml and .github/mcp.json
There is no mention of .github/skills/agentic-workflow-designer/SKILL.md anywhere in the current CLI help. This file appears to no longer be created (or was never created) by gh aw init.
Current correct syntax/behavior
Per gh aw init --help (v0.88.2), the generated files are conditional on flags (e.g. --engine copilot), and the file list should not include agentic-workflow-designer/SKILL.md.
Suggested fix
Update the file list to match the current gh aw init --help output, and note that some files (agent, MCP config, setup-steps workflow) are only created --engine copilot. Remove .github/skills/agentic-workflow-designer/SKILL.md unless it can be confirmed as still generated by another mechanism.
Problem 2: stale example version string
"You should see output like gh-aw version 0.81.6."
The current gh-aw release is v0.88.2 (published 2026-09-03). While this is just an example format, it's noticeably behind the current release and could confuse learners about whether their install is current.
Suggested fix
Update the example to a version closer to the current release (e.g. gh-aw version 0.88.2) or phrase it generically as gh-aw version X.Y.Z.
