Pull request overview
This pull request updates the Instructions Janitor agent workflow guidance to tighten the target maximum length for instruction files, reducing the per-file line limit threshold from 500 to 400 to keep .github/aw/*.md content more compact for agentic loading.
Changes:
- Updated the workflow description and the “File Layout Goals” table thresholds from
< 500to< 400where applicable. - Updated the size-audit rule to require splitting/rewriting any file over
400lines. - Recompiled the generated workflow lock file to reflect the updated source markdown.
