What it does

Reacts to a failed or degraded deploy by proposing a precise rollback rather than executing one blindly. The agent identifies the last healthy release, explains why the current one looks bad, and asks the engineer to confirm by typing the target version — a deliberate guardrail against fat-finger reverts.

When to use it

Use this when a bad deploy needs a fast, *correct* rollback under pressure. The two-step confirmation — propose, then type the version to commit — prevents reverting to the wrong release while still letting you move in seconds.

How it works

  1. 1A deploy-failure webhook from your CI/CD posts to the workflow.
  2. 2The agent reads the failing release metadata and queries GitHub for recent release tags.
  3. 3It identifies the last known-good version and drafts a rollback rationale.
  4. 4A logic gate posts the proposal to Slack and requires the engineer to reply with the exact version string.
  5. 5On a matching reply, the agent triggers the rollback via the deploy provider.
  6. 6It posts confirmation, the reverted version, and a link to the incident record.
