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