The Agentic Workflow

CI/CD Agents

Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) agents integrate agentic capabilities into deployment pipelines, automatically fixing failing tests, resolving dependency conflicts, managing infrastructure changes, and responding to pipeline alerts without human intervention at each step. These agents trigger on CI events such as build failures, test regressions, or security scan alerts, then autonomously branch, fix, commit, and open pull requests, extending the agentic coding paradigm from development-time assistance into fully automated pipeline operations. CI/CD pipelines are one of the better environments for autonomous agents because they provide well-defined success criteria, tests must pass and builds must succeed, and the infrastructure already enforces branch protection, test gates, and rollback mechanisms that naturally limit blast radius.
