SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Triage CI failures efficiently in IAGAI repos by reproducing issues locally, pinpointing root causes, and proposing minimal, CI-aligned fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reproduce: Recreate failing CI scenarios locally to isolate the issue.
  • Diagnose: Pinpoint root cause with minimal diffs and evidence.
  • Fix & Verify: Propose targeted fixes and verify them against CI checks.

Quick Start

Run the triage workflow on the failing PR to generate a concise report with steps to reproduce, causes, and suggested changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage GitHub Actions failures when local tests pass but CI fails?

To triage CI failures where local tests pass, you need to reproduce the failing CI environment locally, pinpoint the root cause through evidence-first analysis, and propose CI-aligned minimal diffs to verify the fix.

What is the best way to find the root cause of flaky CI workflows in my pull request?

Finding the root cause of flaky CI workflows requires recreating the failing CI scenarios locally to isolate the issue, analyzing minimal diffs, and documenting an evidence-first validation plan to verify the proposed changes.

How do I reproduce missing secrets or environment variables causing CI failures locally?

Reproducing missing secrets CI failures locally involves aligning your local environment with CI checks, isolating the missing configuration, and applying a targeted minimal fix to verify the workflow passes.

Does this CI triage workflow work with branches that have failing GitHub Actions checks?

Yes, this CI triage workflow applies to branches with failing GitHub Actions checks, enabling you to diagnose the failure, propose minimal fixes, and verify them against CI checks through a concise validation plan.

How do I generate a validation plan for fixing failing CI pipelines?

Generating a validation plan for failing CI pipelines requires reproducing the issue locally, diagnosing the root cause with evidence-first analysis, and documenting CI-aligned diffs to verify the targeted fix.
