davepoon Run CIAgent checks on this repo's agent
The repo has agentci_spec.yaml (if it does not, use the onboard skill
instead). Your job: run the right check for the change that was just made,
read the result correctly, and never paper over a failure.
Which command
| Situation | Command |
|---|---|
| Spec or wiring changed, or no API keys | ciagent test --mock |
| Agent code / prompt / retrieval changed | ciagent test --yes --format json |
| Result differs from last run, or flakiness suspected | ciagent test --runs 3 --yes |
| Knowledge base changed | ciagent generate-checks --dry-run, review, then apply |
| The LLM judge's verdicts look wrong | ciagent judge-audit |
Live runs (test without --mock, judge-audit, generate-checks) call model
APIs on the user's keys. Mock mode is free. If the user has not already
approved live runs in this session, prefer --mock or ask.
Reading results
Exit codes: 0 pass (including flaky-but-passing), 1 correctness failure
(with --runs N: failed in every run), 2 infra or config error — fix the
setup, not the agent.
With --format json: per-query entries carry layer results (correctness /
path / cost) and the answer text; with --runs N a top-level stability block
lists flipped queries with flip_source.
Flip sources route the work:
agent-variance— the agent's answer changed between runs → fix the agent (prompt, retrieval, temperature).judge-flake— same answer, the LLM judge changed its verdict → fix the eval (tighten the rubric or replace with a deterministic check).infra-error— a judge API call failed → retry; fix nothing.mixed— ambiguous; look at the answers yourself.
Rules
- A correctness failure means the agent lost a fact it used to state. Fix the agent, or — only if the check itself is factually wrong — fix the check. Never weaken or delete a correct check or baseline to make a run green; report the failure to the user instead.
- After intentionally changing agent behavior, re-record the affected golden:
delete its baseline file and rerun
ciagent bootstrap --runner <runner> --queries <file> --yesfor that query, or update the spec's expectations — with the user's confirmation. - Report results in one or two sentences: score, what failed and in which layer, flip sources if any, and the command you ran.
