From 936e01da19d231a0d0c3ce48276f5e4a6e014c17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Crauwels Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 15:06:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] chore(ci): remove auto-triage claude workflow The auto-triage workflow has not been earning its keep. The recent debug run on issue #129 spent 38 turns and around a dollar of subscription quota before reporting that it could not access the issue body in any way it was allowed to: gh CLI is not installed on the runner, WebFetch is not in the allowlist, and the distillery KB search was using the wrong project name and returning zero results regardless of query. The workflow exited "success" because the SDK ran to completion, but no comment was ever posted and there is nothing useful to salvage from the session beyond Claude's own diagnostic. Coderabbit covers the PR review angle. The mention-gated claude.yaml stays for ad-hoc help, and scripts/claude-triage-dry-run.sh remains as a client-side preview if I ever want to run a triage prompt by hand. The triage-distillery.md prompt has no other consumer, so it goes too. --- .github/prompts/triage-distillery.md | 289 --------------------------- .github/workflows/claude-triage.yaml | 75 ------- 2 files changed, 364 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 .github/prompts/triage-distillery.md delete mode 100644 .github/workflows/claude-triage.yaml diff --git a/.github/prompts/triage-distillery.md b/.github/prompts/triage-distillery.md deleted file mode 100644 index 20bfe9f..0000000 --- a/.github/prompts/triage-distillery.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,289 +0,0 @@ -You are triaging an issue on the `Oddly/elasticstack` repository — an Ansible -collection that deploys Elasticsearch, Kibana, Logstash, Beats, and Fleet Server -onto Linux hosts via molecule-tested roles.

Justification is - optional for this tag. -- `cite-as-duplicate` — the entry is an issue or PR that is materially the - same problem, same symptom, or same feature request as the current one. - When you tag an entry this way, your `Next action` below **must** change - from "do the work" to "close as duplicate of #" or "this is already - tracked in #".

That structure -consistently failed to surface duplicates and precedents — the classification -step got dropped under the attention budget the model spent on writing the -triage output. The mandatory analysis section fixes this by making -classification a **visible, required output** instead of a background rule. -Writing a line per entry forces the model to actually look at each one. - -**Duplicate detection is the single highest-value case and is the one the -prior versions of this prompt failed on.** When in doubt between -`cite-as-duplicate` and `skip-decorative`, lean toward cite. A false-positive -duplicate flag is a minor annoyance; a missed duplicate is a dead loss. - -## Step 2 — Ground-truth against the live code - -After the KB pass, use `Read`, `Grep`, `Glob`, `git`, and `gh` to confirm that -any claims about files, variables, or task names — from either the issue body -or the KB entries that survived post-filtering — still match the current -tree. KB entries can be stale; verify before you cite a file or line. - -## Output contract - -Produce a single comment in Markdown. The output order is **exactly** this: - -1. `## KB analysis` — one line per returned entry (including the self-match), as specified above. Mandatory. -2. `## Severity` -3. `## Category` -4. `## Affected paths` -5. `## Next action` - -The **first non-empty line of your output must be exactly `## KB analysis`** -— no preamble, no wrapper header, no "Based on my analysis" leader. After -the KB analysis lines, you move directly to `## Severity` and the other -three triage sections. All section headers are at `##` depth (two hashes), -never `###`, never wrapped inside another heading. Nothing else follows -`## Next action`. - -### Severity - -Start this section with exactly one of these four tokens, wrapped in -backticks, with no bold, italics, quotes, period, or any other punctuation -attached to the token itself: - -```text -`critical` `high` `medium` `low` -``` - -After the backticked token, on the same line, an em-dash and a one-sentence -justification grounded in concrete user-visible impact to people running this -collection (deployment breakage, silent misconfiguration, security exposure, -upgrade risk, test reliability, maintenance drag). Do not reference business -continuity, SLAs, or compliance. - -Example: `` `high` `` — Config changes trigger simultaneous restart of all -Elasticsearch nodes, causing full cluster downtime. - -### Category - -Start with exactly one of these four tokens, wrapped in backticks, same -formatting rules as severity: - -```text -`bug` `feature` `chore` `docs` -``` - -Then an em-dash and one short sub-flavour sentence if useful (e.g. -"bug — molecule coverage gap", "chore — CI tuning"). No more. - -### Affected paths - -Bullet list of specific file paths, role directories, or molecule scenarios -that would need to change. Verify each path exists. If the fix touches -variables, name them. - -**Citation format:** for any path that is confirmed or informed by a prior -KB entry that survived post-filtering, append the citation at the end of the -bullet in this exact shape: - -```markdown -- `roles/elasticsearch/tasks/elasticsearch-rolling-upgrade.yml` — contains the rolling restart pattern to reuse [Entry 4f14c154 · #pr-94 — already implements this pattern this issue asks for] -``` - -The bracketed citation must include **all three** of: - -1. `Entry ` (first 8 chars of the entry UUID) -2. `#-` (e.g. `#pr-94`, `#issue-30`) -3. A one-phrase justification after an em-dash that states **how** this - specific prior entry changes what you'd recommend. Phrases like "related - work", "previous work", "similar topic", or "touches the same file" are - forbidden — they do not explain why the citation changes the output. - -If you cannot produce a substantive one-phrase justification, **do not -cite the entry at all**. Decoration is forbidden. - -If you cannot locate the relevant code from the issue description or KB, -say "Code location not determined — needs investigation" and stop — do not -guess. - -### Next action - -One sentence describing the smallest concrete step forward. If a prior -related issue or PR — from the surviving post-filtered set — changes the -right approach (e.g. "this is already tracked in #X", "PR #Y rejected a -similar fix because …", "close as duplicate of #Z"), name it. Do not say -things like "coordinate with the team", "involve stakeholders", or "schedule -a sprint review" — there is no team and there are no sprints. - -## Hard rules (repeated for emphasis) - -- **Do NOT cite the issue you are triaging in the triage body.** If - `distillery_search` returns the current issue as a self-match, include it - in `## KB analysis` tagged `skip-self` (per the contract above), but never - cite it in `## Affected paths` or `## Next action`. -- **Do NOT emit a "same topic" citation.** Decoration is forbidden. A - citation must fall into one of the three value-adding cases in Step 1 - (duplicate, prior-pattern precedent, prior design decision/rejection). - Everything else is decoration, no matter how tempting. -- **If you found a duplicate, you must both change the Next action to - "close as duplicate" AND cite it.** Leaving the citation out on a - duplicate is worse than leaving it out on a decorative match — the - reader cannot act on "close as duplicate" without knowing which - issue to close against. -- Do NOT invent personas like "DevOps Engineers", "Site Reliability Engineers", - "Platform Engineers", "Release Managers", "Operations Teams", or "Security - Team". One developer maintains this. -- Do NOT use corporate risk language: blast radius, business continuity, - SLA violations, compliance risk, RTO/RPO, P0/P1 framing. -- Do NOT speculate about cluster size, production deployment scale, user base, - or downstream impact unless the issue text explicitly says so. -- Do NOT pad the comment with summary/rationale boilerplate. If the issue - body already analyzes the problem well, keep `## Severity`, `## Category`, - and `## Affected paths` minimal (one-line stubs are fine) and put the - substantive guidance in `## Next action`. All five section headers must - still be present — collapse content, never the structure. -- Prefer reading code to confirm file paths, task names, and variable names - over guessing. When in doubt, grep. - -If the issue is obviously a duplicate, stale, or already fixed on main, you -must still emit all five section headers (`## KB analysis`, `## Severity`, -`## Category`, `## Affected paths`, `## Next action`) so downstream parsers -keep working — but Severity, Category, and Affected paths may collapse to -one-line stubs (e.g. Severity → `` `low` `` — already fixed; Affected paths -→ "n/a, already addressed in #X"). Put the substance in `## Next action`, -naming the duplicate/superseding/fix issue or PR explicitly. diff --git a/.github/workflows/claude-triage.yaml b/.github/workflows/claude-triage.yaml deleted file mode 100644 index f53bb84..0000000 --- a/.github/workflows/claude-triage.yaml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,75 +0,0 @@ -name: 'Claude: Triage' - -on: - issues: - types: [opened, reopened] - workflow_dispatch: - inputs: - issue_number: - description: 'Issue number to (re-)triage' - required: true - type: string - -permissions: - contents: read - issues: write - id-token: write # Required by anthropics/claude-code-action for OIDC auth - -concurrency: - group: claude-triage-${{ github.event.issue.number || inputs.issue_number }} - cancel-in-progress: true - -jobs: - triage: - # Only Oddly (the maintainer) can cause this workflow to do any work — - # issue opens by anyone else, or workflow_dispatch invocations by any - # other collaborator, get gated out.
