Ask an agent to investigate CI failures

DevOps

Triage failing CI quickly and converge on a reproducible local fix.

Context

  • Failing job logs and commit SHA
  • Workflow matrix and environment versions
  • Recent merged changes and flaky test history

Agent instructions

  • Identify first failing step, not just final error.
  • Reproduce failure locally with equivalent commands.
  • Classify failure type: test, build, lint, infra, flaky.
  • Propose minimal fix and confidence level.

Verification

  • Fix reproduces locally and in CI rerun.
  • No unrelated pipeline behavior changed.
  • Follow-up actions are documented.

Expected result: A concrete CI fix or clear escalation path with evidence.
