CI failure triage agents
OpenClaw agents watched GitHub Actions failures, classified them, and posted analysis and issues, then grew into test generation, coverage scanning, and self-healing locators.
Time to diagnose a CI failure fell from 45 minutes to 6, and test flakiness dropped from 8% to 0.8%.
Overview
How it was set up
Self-hosted OpenClaw agents with access to GitHub Actions, GitHub issues, Slack, and Playwright tests. Confidence thresholds gate auto-merges.
Worth knowing
A self-healing agent once changed an assertion instead of the locator. API costs neared $4,000 a month before prompt trimming cut them to $400.
A prompt to start from
Read the failed CI run logs for [repo]. Classify the failure as flaky, real regression, or environment issue. Post the analysis to [Slack channel] and open a GitHub issue with context and a confidence score.
