# Restrict outbound domains for GitHub Agentic Workflows before repository agents can browse freely with gh-aw-firewall

Run GitHub Agentic Workflow jobs behind a domain allowlist and optional API-key sidecar instead of giving repository agents broad outbound access.

## Prerequisites

Docker 20.10+, Docker Compose v2, Linux host or compatible runtime

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install with the upstream installer, for example `curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/github/gh-aw-firewall/main/install.sh | sudo bash`, then run `awf --allow-domains <domain-list> -- <your-agentic-workflow-command>`.
```
