What happened
Cloudflare ran an automated AI agent triage pipeline on the Astro repository for several months, cutting open issues from over 200 to about 30 and expecting to reach zero. The pipeline reads bug reports, reproduces them in sandboxes, diagnoses root causes, and ships preview releases for verification—all using isolated AI subagents running inside GitHub Actions. The underlying engine became Flue, an open framework others can use to build similar automation.
Why it matters
If you maintain an open-source or internal project drowning in issue volume, this is a concrete blueprint: start with a single agent skill that runs locally and in GitHub Actions, automate reproduction and diagnosis in sandboxes, and ship preview fixes for reporter verification rather than auto-closing tickets. The Flue framework is open, so you can experiment with the same pattern on your own repos.
Discussion angle
Is agent-driven issue triage ready for smaller projects without Cloudflare's engineering capacity, and what are the real costs of running sandboxed reproduction loops inside GitHub Actions versus a local harness?
