How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerMonthly schedule fires
  • ActionFetch SLO burn and budget history from HoneycombHoneycomb
  • LogicAgent classifies and prioritizes each SLO
  • ActionPublish capacity brief to ConfluenceConfluenceConfluence
  • OutputCreate per-recommendation follow-up on Mondaymonday.com

What it does

A Paperclip agent pulls burn-rate and budget data for each Honeycomb SLO, reasons over the trends to decide which services genuinely need a capacity review (versus noisy short-term spikes), and writes a plain-language capacity brief. It publishes the brief to Confluence and opens a Monday follow-up item for each recommended review. The outcome is a judgment-backed planning document rather than a raw metric dump.

When to use it

Use this when you want analysis and prioritization, not just thresholds — for example a monthly capacity planning input where context and trade-offs matter and a human reads the brief before committing sprint capacity.

How it works

  1. 1A monthly schedule trigger starts the run.
  2. 2The agent fetches per-SLO burn rate, budget history, and recent burn events from Honeycomb.
  3. 3It reasons over the data to classify each SLO as healthy, watch, or needs-review, with a written rationale.
  4. 4It publishes the consolidated capacity brief as a Confluence page.
  5. 5For each needs-review SLO it creates a Monday follow-up with the agent's recommendation attached.
