…sue assignment Relocate aw-daily, gh-aw-report skills and all commands from top-level directories to .claude/skills/ and .claude/commands/ per correct plugin layout. Update all internal path references across workflow, SKILL.md files, and CLAUDE.md. Add assign-to-agent safe-output to daily-intelligence workflow so issues created in Phase 5 are automatically assigned to Copilot for implementation.

- Add GitHub MCP Server v1.0.0 GA milestone to architecture reference - Document new tools: set_issue_fields, resolve_review_thread - Document new toolsets: pull_request_granular, issues_granular - Document list_commits path/since/until params (v0.33.0) - Update MCP Apps: graduated from insiders to feature flag remote_mcp_ui_apps - Add granular toolsets to tools-reference.md toolset table - Add copilot toolset entry to tools-reference.md - Append 2026-04-17 knowledge base entry - Add intelligence report outputs/gh-aw-reports/2026-04-17.md Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview

Updates the aw-author plugin’s daily intelligence artifacts and reference documentation to capture GitHub MCP Server v1.0.0 (first stable release) and newly introduced toolsets/tools, while also consolidating the gh-aw-report/aw-daily materials under .claude/ and updating the daily pipeline workflow accordingly.

Changes:

Update architecture + knowledge base references for GitHub MCP Server v1.0.0, including granular toolsets and MCP Apps feature-flag graduation.
Extend the aw-author tools reference with issues_granular, pull_request_granular, and copilot toolsets.
Adjust the daily-intelligence workflow (and lockfile) to add assign-to-agent safe-output and point at .claude/-scoped skill/reference files; remove older non-.claude/ duplicates.

The knowledge-base entry format shown here (### YYYY-MM-DD — category — Title) does not match the current .claude/skills/gh-aw-report/knowledge-base.md structure (which uses ## [YYYY-MM-DD] ...). Align the documented append format with the actual file format to avoid the pipeline creating inconsistent entries.

Review findings for stable, persistent facts. Append new entries to `.claude/skills/gh-aw-report/knowledge-base.md` using the format:

YYYY-MM-DD — category — Title

Content

.claude/skills/aw-daily/references/tracked-repos.md:22

LAST_DATE extraction is grepping for ### YYYY-MM-DD, but the knowledge base uses ## [YYYY-MM-DD] headings. As written, this will usually return empty and fall back to 7 days ago every run. Update the grep pattern to match the knowledge base heading format (or change the KB format consistently across the repo).

+  -f title="gh-aw Intelligence Report -- $TODAY" \


Discussion titles here use gh-aw Intelligence Report -- $TODAY, but the workflow/idempotency logic and safe-output constraints use the em dash form (gh-aw Intelligence Report — ...). Use the same title pattern everywhere to ensure idempotency checks and title-prefix constraints work reliably.

Suggested change

+3. Append new entries using the format:
+```markdown
+### YYYY-MM-DD -- category -- Title
+Content
+```


This skill instructs appending KB entries in a ### YYYY-MM-DD -- category -- Title format, but the current knowledge base file is organized by ## [YYYY-MM-DD] ... sections. Either update the instructions to match the existing KB structure or migrate the KB file format, otherwise future updates will become inconsistent and break date parsing.

+1. Read the knowledge base at `skills/gh-aw-report/knowledge-base.md`
+2. Read `skills/gh-aw-report/references/gh-aw-architecture.md` for architecture context


These steps still point to skills/gh-aw-report/..., but the gh-aw-report knowledge base and architecture reference live under .claude/skills/gh-aw-report/... in this repo. Update the paths so /aw-status reads the correct files.

Suggested change

1. Read the knowledge base at `skills/gh-aw-report/knowledge-base.md`

2. Read `skills/gh-aw-report/references/gh-aw-architecture.md` for architecture context

The reference file paths include .claude/.claude/... (double .claude), which does not exist in the repo and will cause the workflow instructions to point to non-existent files. Update these paths to the actual .claude/skills/... locations.

This line appears to reference the tool using a PR/branch name (Feat/resolve review threads) rather than the actual tool id (resolve_review_thread). Use the concrete tool name so the report stays accurate and searchable across runs.

This instruction says to locate the most recent ### YYYY-MM-DD heading, but .claude/skills/gh-aw-report/knowledge-base.md currently uses ## [YYYY-MM-DD] headings. Update the parsing guidance here to match the knowledge base’s actual heading format so LAST_DATE is determined correctly.
