Objective

Add a clarifying question about response-time requirements to the interactive mode guidance in .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md, so agents ask about cadence before defaulting to daily for scheduled workflows.

Context

From discussion #27482 (Agent Persona Exploration - 2026-04-21), the DevOps scenario scored 4/5 on trigger selection (not 5) because the agent defaulted to daily monitoring when 6-hour cadence could be better for true incident-response use cases. No clarifying question exists to help distinguish these scenarios.

Approach

In .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md, within the interactive clarifying questions section (around line 227 near trigger selection guidance), add:

- 📅 **For scheduled workflows**: Ask **"How quickly do you need to be notified after an event?"** before defaulting to `daily`.
  - Answers like "within the hour", "as fast as possible", or "incident response" → suggest `every 6 hours` or `every 4 hours`
  - Answers like "next morning", "daily summary", or "digest" → `daily on weekdays` (default)
  - Answers like "weekly report" or "end of week" → `weekly`
  - Tip: If the user describes an **incident-response** or **monitoring** scenario, always ask about cadence before scheduling

Files to Modify

• .github/aw/create-agentic-workflow.md — add cadence clarifying question near the scheduled workflow trigger guidance (around line 247)

Acceptance Criteria

• A cadence clarifying question is documented in the interactive guidance
• The guidance maps user answers to appropriate schedule intervals (hourly, daily, weekly)
• Incident-response and monitoring scenarios are explicitly called out as needing the cadence question
• The existing daily on weekdays fuzzy schedule guidance is preserved and referenced
