Run these steps in order and stop as soon as one tells you to exit:

1. **Upgrade**: Run `gh aw upgrade` to update the gh-aw CLI version and apply any codemods. If the command fails, report the error and exit immediately.
2. **Compile**: Run `gh aw compile` to recompile all workflows. If the command reports errors, report them and exit immediately.
3. **Check for changes**: Run `git diff` to see if anything changed.
4. **If no changes**: Report "Already up to date" and exit immediately. Do not search for PRs, do not run any other commands.
5. **If changes exist**:
1. **Install gh-aw**: If `gh aw --version` fails, install the extension by running `gh extension install github/gh-aw`. If both fail, report the error and exit immediately.
2. **Upgrade**: Run `gh aw upgrade` to update the gh-aw CLI version and apply any codemods. If the command fails, report the error and exit immediately.
3. **Compile**: Run `gh aw compile` to recompile all workflows. If the command reports errors, report them and exit immediately.
4. **Check for changes**: Run `git diff` to see if anything changed.
5. **If no changes**: Report "Already up to date" and exit immediately. Do not search for PRs, do not run any other commands.
6. **If changes exist**:
- Check if an open PR titled `[Auto Update] Agentic workflows` already exists (search open PRs).
- If a PR exists, push the changes to its branch (`agentics/auto-update-gh-aw`) to update it. Leave a brief comment noting what changed (e.g. "Updated gh-aw-actions/setup from vX to vY").
- If no PR exists, create a new PR from branch `agentics/auto-update-gh-aw` to `main` with title `[Auto Update] Agentic workflows` and a body summarizing the changes.

## Rules

- Only run `gh aw upgrade` and `gh aw compile`. Do **not** run `go` commands, `npm` commands, or any other package manager or build tool. Do **not** attempt to fix dependency resolution errors or edit generated files (go.mod, go.sum, package.json, etc.) manually.
- Only run `gh extension install github/gh-aw`, `gh aw upgrade`, and `gh aw compile`. Do **not** run `go` commands, `npm` commands, or any other package manager or build tool. Do **not** attempt to fix dependency resolution errors or edit generated files (go.mod, go.sum, package.json, etc.) manually.
- Only commit changes to files managed by `gh aw`: `.github/workflows/`, `.github/aw/`, `.github/agents/`.
- Use a single commit with message: `Update agentic workflows via gh aw upgrade`.
- The branch name must always be `agentics/auto-update-gh-aw`.
