Meet the Workflows: Quality & Hygiene
Welcome back to Peli’s Agent Factory!
In our previous post, we explored issue and PR management workflows - agents that enhance GitHub’s collaboration features by removing tedious ceremony like linking related issues, merging main branches, and optimizing templates. These workflows make GitHub more pleasant to use by eliminating small papercuts that add up to significant friction.
Now let’s shift from collaboration ceremony to codebase maintenance. While issue workflows help us handle what comes in, quality and hygiene workflows act as vigilant caretakers - spotting problems before they escalate and keeping our codebase healthy. These are the agents that investigate failed CI runs, detect schema drift, and catch breaking changes before users do.
Quality & Hygiene Workflows
Section titled “Quality & Hygiene Workflows”These are our diligent caretakers - the agents that spot problems before they become, well, bigger problems:
- CI Doctor - Investigates failed workflows and opens diagnostic issues (it’s like having a DevOps specialist on call 24/7)
- Schema Consistency Checker - Detects when schemas, code, and docs drift apart
- Breaking Change Checker - Watches for changes that might break things for users
The CI Doctor was a revelation. Instead of drowning in CI failure notifications, we now get timely, investigated failures with actual diagnostic insights. The agent doesn’t just tell us something broke - it analyzes logs, identifies patterns, searches for similar past issues, and even suggests fixes. We learned that agents excel at the tedious investigation work that humans find draining.
The Schema Consistency Checker caught drift that would have taken us days to notice manually.
These “hygiene” workflows became our first line of defense, catching issues before they reached users.

Next Up: Metrics & Analytics Workflows
Section titled “Next Up: Metrics & Analytics Workflows”With quality and hygiene workflows maintaining our codebase health, we needed a way to understand whether they were actually working. How do you know if your agents are performing well? That’s where metrics and analytics come in.
