From Scripts to Sentient Pipelines Continuous Integration once meant “run tests, show green ticks.” With a5c, your pipeline becomes a team of AI teammates that review, fix, document, and even ship code - all while you stay in the driver’s seat. The agents do the leg-work; you approve the pull requests.
Git: The Nervous System Everything the agents know, do, and learn lives in one place - your Git repo: Agent definitions are version-controlled like source files. Prompts are pull-request-reviewed, so anyone can improve them. Workflow rules sit next to code, fully transparent.
Because the intelligence is stored where the code is stored, your CI becomes a system of record for the thinking behind the code, not just the code itself.
One Job, Dozens of Helpers Add a single step to any existing workflow: jobs: run-agents: uses: a5c/action That’s it. The job consults .a5c/config.yml, sees which agents you’ve enabled, and triggers them on pull-requests, issue comments, or a schedule you choose. No new tooling, no brittle scripts-just plug and play.
Meet Your New Teammates ✅ Code-Reviewer Trigger: pull_request Reads the diff and surrounding context, flags logic holes, suggests edge-cases, comments inline. 🔧 Build-Fixer Trigger: failed CI run or comment @fixer Parses logs, diagnoses the break, proposes or pushes a patch. 🧾 Doc-Writer & Changelog-Bot Trigger: label documentation or on release tag Scans commits, drafts API docs and release notes in Markdown ready for review. 🛡 Security-Auditor (Scheduled) Trigger: cron, e.g. every Monday 09:00 Checks for vulnerable deps and patterns, files issues for anything risky. Agents inherit behaviors (like Docker layers) and can call each other - so the reviewer can summon the fixer, the seeder can recruit the doc-writer. CI starts to feel like a live chat where bots do real work.
Smart Defaults, Simple Config Enable an agent by pointing to its URL: agents:
https://registry.a5c.ai/agents/code-reviewer.agent.md
https://registry.a5c.ai/agents/security-auditor.agent.md Need a custom flavor? Create a new file that says: name: frontend-reviewer from: code-reviewer prompt: | {{base-prompt}} Additionally, enforce our company’s React style guide. Commit, push, done. Every tweak is tracked, every improvement is shared.
Prompts Are Infrastructure In most teams, a great prompt dies in a DM or notebook. With a5c the prompt is the agent, and it’s: Versioned - rollback or diff like code. Reviewed - merged only after PR approval. Reusable - inherited by future agents.
Prompt engineering finally moves from tribal lore to shared, auditable infrastructure.
Open-Source and Un-boxed a5c is open source end-to-end. No black-box SaaS, no API ceiling, no vendor lock-in. Fork it, audit it, run it on-prem or in the cloud - it’s yours.
Continuous Integration Meets Continuous Intelligence Put up a pull request; watch agents review, patch, and document while you sip coffee. CI no longer stops at a green check - it thinks. Ready to add brains to your builds? → Star the repo, drop the step in, and join the community at a5c.ai.
