<!-- SYNC:understand-code-first -->[IMPORTANT] Use
TaskCreateto break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ATTENTION ask user whether to skip.

Quick Summary
Goal: Analyze GitHub Actions CI logs to identify and fix build/test failures in the pipeline.
Workflow:
- Fetch — Download CI logs from GitHub Actions
- Analyze — Identify root cause from log output (build errors, test failures, env issues)
- Fix — Apply targeted fix based on traced root cause
Key Rules:
- Infrastructure Context: Read
docs/project-config.json→infrastructure.cicd.toolto identify CI platform (e.g., "azure-devops", "github-actions", "gitlab-ci"). Target the correct pipeline config files for that platform. - Debug Mindset: every claim needs
file:lineevidence - Focus on CI-specific issues (env vars, Docker, dependencies, build order)
- Verify fix doesn't break local development
<!-- /SYNC:root-cause-debugging -->Root Cause Debugging — Systematic approach, never guess-and-check.
- Reproduce — Confirm the issue exists with evidence (error message, stack trace, screenshot)
- Isolate — Narrow to specific file/function/line using binary search + graph trace
- Trace — Follow data flow from input to failure point. Read actual code, don't infer.
- Hypothesize — Form theory with confidence %. State what evidence supports/contradicts it
- Verify — Test hypothesis with targeted grep/read. One variable at a time.
- Fix — Address root cause, not symptoms. Verify fix doesn't break callers via graph
connectionsNEVER: Guess without evidence. Fix symptoms instead of cause. Skip reproduction step.
Debug Mindset (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
- Do NOT assume the first hypothesis is correct — verify with actual code traces
- Every root cause claim must include
file:lineevidence - If you cannot prove a root cause with a code trace, state "hypothesis, not confirmed"
- Question assumptions: "Is this really the cause?" → trace the actual execution path
- Challenge completeness: "Are there other contributing factors?" → check related code paths
- No "should fix it" without proof — verify the fix addresses the traced root cause
⚠️ MANDATORY: Confidence & Evidence Gate
MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION declare Confidence: X% with evidence list + file:line proof for EVERY claim.
95%+ recommend freely | 80-94% with caveats | 60-79% list unknowns | <60% STOP — gather more evidence.
Github Actions URL
<url>$ARGUMENTS</url>
⚠️ Validate Before Fix (NON-NEGOTIABLE): After CI log analysis + root cause identification, MUST ATTENTION present findings + proposed fix to user via
AskUserQuestionand get explicit approval BEFORE any code changes. No silent fixes.
Workflow
- Use
debuggersubagent to read the github actions logs withghcommand, analyze and find the root cause of the issues and report back to main agent. 1.5. Write analysis findings to.ai/workspace/analysis/{ci-issue}.analysis.md. Re-read before implementing fix. - 🛑 Present root cause + proposed fix →
AskUserQuestion→ wait for user approval. - Start implementing the fix based the reports and solutions.
- Use
testeragent to test the fix and make sure it works, then report back to main agent. - If there are issues or failed tests, repeat from step 2.
- After finishing, respond back to user with a summary of the changes and explain everything briefly, guide user to get started and suggest the next steps.
Notes
-
If
ghcommand is not available, instruct the user to install and authorize GitHub CLI first. -
After fixing, MUST ATTENTION run
/prove-fix— build code proof traces per change with confidence scores. Never skip.
Closing Reminders
- IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION break work into small todo tasks using
TaskCreateBEFORE starting - IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code
- IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION cite
file:lineevidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act) - IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION add a final review todo task to verify work quality
- IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION STOP after 3 failed fix attempts — report outcomes, ask user before #4 MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION READ the following files before starting: <!-- SYNC:understand-code-first:reminder -->
