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.
