FAQPage Schema

How do I automate repository maintenance and CI failure triage on GitHub?▼

You can automate repository maintenance by setting up a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that wakes up, triages CI failures and open issues, and drafts fixes. Run `/steer:loop scaffold` to establish this autonomous triage loop.

What is an autonomous loop for GitHub pull request management?▼

An autonomous loop is a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that handles repository triage by drafting fixes in isolated worktrees and opening draft pull requests. It automatically stops at every human gate to ensure manual review before merging.

Do I need Claude plugin integration to automate CI workflows with GitHub Actions?▼

Yes, Claude plugin integration is required for workflow execution. The autonomous loop relies on both GitHub Actions and the Claude plugin to wake up on schedule, perform triage, and draft fixes for CI failures and drifts.

Can I use a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow to draft fixes in isolated worktrees?▼

Yes, the scheduled GitHub Actions workflow drafts fixes in isolated worktrees to manage repository drift and CI failures. It then opens draft pull requests with autonomous branch-push, stopping at human gates for merge approval.

What are the limitations of autonomous repository maintenance loops?▼

The autonomous loop stops at every human gate and cannot merge pull requests independently. It requires both GitHub and Claude plugin integration, and while it drafts fixes for CI failures and issues, human review remains mandatory before final merging.

What's the best way to reduce manual checks for CI-failure triage in my repository?▼

The best way is to establish a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that automatically performs triage and drafts fixes. This autonomous loop reduces manual intervention by handling CI failures and opening draft pull requests for human review.
