 ## Important Notes

- Always reference the instructions file at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/v0.68.1/.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md for complete documentation
+- Always reference the instructions file at https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/v0.74.8/.github/aw/github-agentic-workflows.md for complete documentation
 - Use the MCP tool `agentic-workflows` when running in GitHub Copilot Cloud
 - Workflows must be compiled to `.lock.yml` files before running in GitHub Actions
 - **Bash tools are enabled by default** - Don't restrict bash commands unnecessarily since workflows are sandboxed by the AWF
 - Follow security best practices: minimal permissions, explicit network access, no template injection
- **Network configuration**: Use ecosystem identifiers (`node`, `python`, `go`, etc.) or explicit FQDNs in `network.allowed`. Bare shorthands like `npm` or `pypi` are **not** valid. See https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/v0.68.1/.github/aw/network.md for the full list of valid ecosystem identifiers and domain patterns.

 - **Single-file output**: When creating a workflow, produce exactly **one** workflow `.md` file. Do not create separate documentation files (architecture docs, runbooks, usage guides, etc.). If documentation is needed, add a brief `## Usage` section inside the workflow file itself.
+- **Triggering runs**: Always use `gh aw run <workflow-name>` to trigger a workflow on demand — not `gh workflow run <file>.lock.yml`. `gh aw run` handles workflow resolution by short name, input parsing and validation, and correct run-tracking for agentic workflows. Use `--ref <branch>` to run on a specific branch.
+- **CLI commands reference**: For a complete guide on all `gh aw` commands and their MCP tool equivalents (for restricted environments), see https://github.com/github/gh-aw/blob/v0.74.8/.github/aw/cli-commands.md
