SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Patrol protocol provides a structured 6-phase framework to continuously assess and improve project health across issues, PRs, branches, and agent tasks, enabling automated correlation with task manifests and controlled delegation to specialists.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven patrol: Observe, Judge, Diagnose, Act, Track, and Report to keep projects on track.
  • Manifest-aware delegation: Correlates issues with the task-manifest to retry failed tasks with session continuity and to auto-close related tracker issues.
  • Safe governance: Enumerates mandatory actions and budget controls to prevent runaway automation.

Quick Start

Trigger a full patrol cycle to observe, judge, diagnose, and act on project health across issues, PRs, branches, tasks, and agent health.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project health patrols across issues and PRs?

Automate project health patrols using a 6-phase framework: Observe, Judge, Diagnose, Act, Track, and Report. This systematically assesses issues, PRs, branches, and agent tasks to keep projects healthy through continuous governance.

Can I automatically delegate triage tasks and control the execution budget?

Yes, you can automatically delegate triage tasks using budget-constrained delegation rules. This prevents runaway automation by enforcing strict budget controls while delegating issues to specialists for resolution.

How does automated triage correlate issues with a task manifest?

Automated triage correlates issues with the task manifest by matching tracker issues to manifest entries. This enables retrying failed tasks with session continuity and automatically closing related tracker issues upon completion.

What is the best way to continuously govern software development workflows?

The best way to govern software development workflows continuously is implementing cron-driven patrol routines. These routines systematically observe, judge, diagnose, and act on project health, ensuring automated and continuous governance.

Do I need cron-driven routines to automate project triage and fixes?

Yes, cron-driven patrol routines are required to automate systematic project triage and fixes. These routines execute the mandatory actions needed to continuously assess and resolve issues across your development workflow.

What are the limitations of automated project health governance?

The limitation of automated project health governance is the risk of runaway automation. To mitigate this, the patrol protocol enumerates mandatory actions and applies strict budget controls to constrain automated delegation and fixes.
