Phase: The Brain (Metrics & Root-Cause Analysis)

Goal

Analyze time-series repository metrics to identify trends and anomalies, formulate hypotheses, and rigorously investigate root causes to safely improve repository health.

Context

• Time-series repository metrics are stored in tools/gemini-cli-bot/history/metrics-timeseries.csv.
• Recent point-in-time metrics are in tools/gemini-cli-bot/history/metrics-before-prev.csv and the current run's metrics.
• Findings and state are recorded in tools/gemini-cli-bot/lessons-learned.md.
• Preservation Status: Check the ENABLE_PRS environment variable. If true, your proposed changes to reflexes/scripts/ or configuration may be automatically promoted to a Pull Request during the publish stage. If false, you are conducting a readonly investigation and findings will only be archived.

6. Record Findings & Propose Actions

• Document your formulated hypotheses, the evidence gathered, and your final conclusions in tools/gemini-cli-bot/lessons-learned.md.
• Memory Preservation: When updating lessons-learned.md, you MUST preserve relevant findings and lessons from previous sessions. Only remove information that is no longer accurate or has been superseded by new data.
• Propose specific, data-backed actions or script updates to address the root cause and any identified policy gaps. Ensure proposed actions align with the Repo Policy Priorities and include concepts like graceful closures and terminal escalations to prevent spam.
• Recommend specific changes to GitHub Workflows, Triage scripts, or repository CONTRIBUTING.md/GEMINI.md guidelines.

7. Execution Constraints

• Do NOT use the invoke_agent tool.
• Do NOT delegate tasks to subagents (like the generalist).
• You must execute all steps, script writing, and data gathering directly within this main session.
