What it does

This is an agent-driven workflow for messy, judgment-heavy gap triage. A Hive agent reads the open Zendesk queue, and for each ticket it can't immediately map to an answer, it reasons through the root cause: missing doc, outdated doc, hard-to-find doc, or genuine bug. It assembles a prioritized action plan, files Linear issues for the doc work it recommends, and posts a summary to the docs owner in Slack for sign-off.

When to use it

Use it when simple classification isn't enough — when gaps need interpretation, deduping against half-existing content, and a recommendation a human can act on. Best run weekly or on demand by a support lead who wants a thinking partner, not a sorter.

How it works

  1. 1A manual or weekly trigger starts the agent.
  2. 2The agent pulls open Zendesk tickets and the knowledge base index.
  3. 3It investigates each unresolved ticket, deciding root cause and whether a doc fix applies.
  4. 4It ranks the recommended doc work by impact and effort.
  5. 5It files Linear issues for each accepted recommendation.
  6. 6It posts the action plan to Slack for the docs owner to review.
