Require a code location, duplicate issue, log, or reproduction before assigning a root cause. See [factory skills](/factories/factory-skills/) for the file format. +3. Add or edit an automation for your issue source using the examples below. They use `agent: triage`. Replace `triage` if your agent has a different name, and keep the stopping instructions in the automation prompt. + + Reuse an existing automation when it already handles those requests. Avoid overlapping routes, including a broad issue-created automation and a label automation that could both start work on the same issue.

Update it + with evidence, classification, priority, and the next action, then stop. + Ask for missing evidence rather than guessing. Do not implement or start + implementation. + ``` + + Work item events accept `assignees`, `authors`, `labels`, and `work_item_types`, but not `repos`. Use `work_item_created` instead to triage newly created work items that match those filters. See [Azure DevOps events and filters](/factories/integrations/azure-devops/#supported-events-and-filters) for setup and scope. + + ### Linear + + Use `provider: linear` with `issue_created` or `issue_labeled`. Replace the GitHub example's `repos` filter with Linear team or project filters, and add a label filter for a controlled rollout. + + ### Jira + + Use `provider: jira` with `agent_session_created` and a `project_keys` filter. Check existing automations first. [Jira setup](/factories/integrations/jira/#connect-jira-and-add-an-automation) may already have created one for your projects. + + * **All requests need triage** - Retarget the existing automation to your triage agent and use the triage-only prompt above. + * **Other workflows share the handler** - Keep that handler and narrow both routes' project or keyword filters so each request matches only one automation before adding a separate triage automation. + + Adding a keyword filter to the new route alone doesn't exclude it from an existing project-wide route. A triage-only prompt also doesn't stop another automation from starting its own run. + + ### GitLab + + GitLab has no native issue-created trigger. Use an explicit bot mention or a [custom webhook](/factories/webhooks/). + +4. Apply the definition changes. For a Warp-managed factory, save the edits in the factory dashboard. For a GitHub-backed factory, merge the changes into its configured production branch. Confirm validation succeeds and the changes are applied. See [where the factory definition lives](/factories/factory-as-code/#where-the-definition-lives). +5. Test the selected trigger with an issue or work item that describes a concrete symptom and matches every configured filter: + * **Creation intake** - Create an issue for GitHub or Linear, or a work item for Azure DevOps. Include any labels required by the filter when creating it. + * **Label intake** - Apply `needs-triage` to a test issue or work item after creating it. + * **Jira agent sessions** - Assign or mention **Warp** on a test work item in a matching project and ask it to triage the issue. + + Confirm one run starts, updates the issue or work item with evidence, uses only the allowed labels, and stops without creating a branch. For Jira, also test that a non-triage request still reaches its intended handler. +6. Review several results before expanding the repository or event filters. + +## Example workflow + +A customer opens `Checkout fails after applying two coupons` in `acme/payments-service`. The automation starts the triage agent, which searches for duplicates, identifies the discount calculation path, and reproduces the failure with the supplied cart data. + +The agent labels the issue `bug` and `payments`, assigns the team's `P1` priority according to the skill, and posts the failing test output and affected code path. It recommends implementation because the cause is bounded. If the issue lacks cart data, the agent asks for that evidence and leaves the issue waiting for a human instead. + +To take accepted issues through implementation in the same factory, follow the [issue implementation recipe](/factories/use-cases/issue-implementation/). + +## Related pages + +* [Factory use cases](/factories/use-cases/) - Compare this recipe with other factory workflows. +* [Factory automations](/factories/automations/) - Configure triggers and filters. +* [Factory agents](/factories/factory-agents/) - Understand the default triage role. +* [GitHub integration](/factories/integrations/github/) - Review issue triggers, permissions, and outputs.
