Agent root-causes a cache regression and files a fix ticket

When a sustained cache hit-rate drop is confirmed, an agent investigates the offending GitLab config change, drafts a root-cause analysis with a concrete fix.

What it does

On a confirmed cache regression, an agent pulls the suspect config change, the cache stats before and after, and the affected jobs, then reasons about the root cause: an over-broad cache key, a missing fallback key, a reordered install step, or a base-image bump. It drafts a root-cause analysis with a proposed fix, files a Linear ticket assigned to the owning team, and posts a summary to Slack.

When to use it

Use it when you want more than an alert. The deterministic detectors say what broke; this agent explains why and turns it into actionable, owned work so the fix actually gets scheduled rather than rediscovered each sprint.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook fires when a confirmed regression event is emitted.
  2. 2The agent reads the regression context and cache metrics from Postgres.
  3. 3It fetches the suspect commit and surrounding CI config from GitLab.
  4. 4It reasons through likely causes and drafts an RCA with a concrete fix.
  5. 5It files a Linear ticket with the analysis and assigns the owning team.
  6. 6It posts a Slack summary linking the ticket and the offending change.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitLabRepos, MRs, pipelines, registry.
  2. 2
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  6. 6
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  7. 7
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  8. 8
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
