Agent Suggestions

Date: 2026-03-09

1. AW Failure Auto-Remediator

Trigger: issues (opened, reopened) with label:agentic-workflows and title prefix [aw], plus optional daily schedule sweep for still-open unassigned failures.

Purpose: Automatically triage and remediate workflow-failure issues generated by AW runs (extract run URL/workflow slug from issue body, debug root cause, and either post resolution guidance or open a targeted fix PR).

Proposed safe outputs: add-comment, create-pull-request, noop

Evidence:

• Recurring open AW-failure issues in this repo with identical manual handoff instructions:
  • [aw] Bug Hunter failed #622
  • [aw] Internal: Agent Efficiency failed #584
  • [aw] PR Human Review Labeler failed #583
  • [aw] Internal: Downstream Users failed #524
• Downstream repo shows same recurring pattern (open agentic-workflows failures):
  • [aw] Internal Gemini CLI Web Search failed (pre-agent) ai-github-actions-playground#2224
  • [aw] Scheduled Audit failed (pre-agent) ai-github-actions-playground#2063
  • [aw] PR Labeler failed (pre-agent) ai-github-actions-playground#2033
  • [aw] Internal Gemini CLI failed ai-github-actions-playground#1827
• Existing workflows do not provide this issue-driven auto-remediation loop:
  • pr-actions-fixer is manual workflow_dispatch with explicit run ID: https://github.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/blob/main/gh-agent-workflows/pr-actions-fixer/README.md
  • branch-actions-detective creates tracking issues but does not remediate from [aw] issue events: https://github.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/blob/main/gh-agent-workflows/branch-actions-detective/README.md
  • issue-fixer is generic issue triage/fix and not AW-failure-specific orchestration from generated failure metadata: https://github.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/blob/main/gh-agent-workflows/issue-fixer/README.md

Why not covered already: There is no dedicated workflow that automatically consumes AW-generated failure issues and performs run-aware remediation without manual assignment/dispatch steps.

Duplicate Checks

• Open issue search reviewed: https://github.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+%28agent+OR+workflow+OR+automation%29
• Open PR search reviewed: https://github.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+%28agent+OR+workflow%29
• Prior reports reviewed: https://github.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/issues?q=is%3Aissue+in%3Atitle+%22%5Bagent-suggestions%5D%22
• Existing report checked for overlap: [agent-suggestions] Agent suggestions - 2026-03-02 #528 (cluster detector; distinct from issue-triggered remediation)

Downstream Signals

• Repos using gh-aw-* workflows found via code search:
  • https://github.com/elastic/ai-github-actions-playground
  • https://github.com/elastic/beats
  • https://github.com/elastic/integrations
• Cross-repo recurring AW failure issue pattern observed in ai-github-actions and ai-github-actions-playground (links above).

Suggested Next Steps

• Add gh-aw-failure-auto-remediator workflow template under gh-agent-workflows/ with issues trigger filters for [aw] + agentic-workflows.
• Parse failure issue body to extract workflow/run URL and route to a dedicated agentic-workflows debug prompt.
• Add dedupe safeguards so repeated retries update one active comment thread/PR instead of creating noise.
