A dispatch pattern where an AI agent triggers a CI pipeline. The
agent creates a pull request, pushes code, or calls the
repository_dispatch API to start a pipeline run. Examples: a
babysitter process creates a fix PR that triggers PR validation;
an agent calls workflow_dispatch to deploy a staging environment
for testing. The agent monitors pipeline status via the GitHub
Checks API or workflow run API and reacts to success or failure
(e.g., iterating on a fix if tests fail). This pattern is the
foundation of autonomous agent-driven development workflows.
