Fixes #46

Summary

Renames the "Autonomous Developer Agent" workflow to "Drafter" to better reflect its actual behavior:

  • The workflow creates draft PRs, not production-ready ones
  • It requires human review before merging
  • The name "autonomous" was misleading

Changes

  • Updated workflow description in drafter.md to "Draft PR implementation agent"
  • Changed the workflow title from "# Autonomous Developer Agent" to "# Drafter"
  • Updated the prompt text to reference "draft PR implementation" instead of "autonomous implementation"
  • Recompiled drafter.lock.yml using gh aw compile drafter --approve
  • Updated actions-lock.json as part of the compilation process

Validation

Validated by:

  1. Successfully compiling the workflow with gh aw compile drafter --approve
  2. Verifying all instances of "Autonomous Developer Agent" were replaced with "Drafter" in the compiled .lock.yml file
  3. Confirming the changes are consistent across all three modified files

Fix Status: Partial

I found and fixed all remaining "autonomous" references related to the workflow renaming:

Pushed in this run (2 commits):

  • .github/workflows/install-labels.yml
  • scripts/install-labels.js

Fixed locally but not pushed (2 commits):

  • scripts/README.md (commit efd386d)
  • README.md (commit ec08658)
  • aw.yml (commit 9104afb)

Why not pushed?

The push_to_pull_request_branch safe-output has a limit of 1 call per run. I used that call after finding the first issues, then discovered additional references and committed fixes for them. However, I couldn't push again due to the limit.

What happens next?

After this run, the PR will have 3 total commits (1 original + 2 from this fix), which reaches the iteration cap. The automated fix loop will stop here.

Manual intervention needed

A human should:

  1. Review the 2 unpushed commits on the branch (visible in git log but not on GitHub)
  2. Either:
    • Manually push them: git push origin agent/rename-autonomous-developer-to-drafter-47238eb1742bfa37
    • Or cherry-pick them into a fresh branch
  3. Apply agent/lgtm once satisfied

Alternatively, all fixes could be squashed into a single commit to avoid the cap on future iterations.

Review Complete

I reviewed the changes for renaming "Autonomous Developer Agent" to "Drafter". The changes are well-executed and consistent across the workflow files, compiled outputs, and label scripts.

What I Checked

Workflow source file (.github/workflows/drafter.md):

  • Title changed from "# Autonomous Developer Agent" to "# Drafter"
  • Description updated from "Autonomous implementation agent" to "Draft PR implementation agent"
  • Prompt text updated to reference "draft PR implementation"

Compiled workflow (.github/workflows/drafter.lock.yml):

  • Properly recompiled with updated references
  • Action versions and container images updated (expected side effect of recompilation)
  • Metadata hashes updated correctly

Label scripts (scripts/install-labels.js, .github/workflows/install-labels.yml, scripts/README.md):

  • Label description consistently changed from "Triggers the autonomous drafter agent" to "Triggers the drafter agent"

Issue Found

Inconsistency in README.md:

  • Line 266 still contains the old label description: --description "Triggers the autonomous drafter agent"
  • This should be updated to match the other files: --description "Triggers the drafter agent"
  • All other files with this label description were correctly updated, making this an obvious oversight

Recommendation

Please update README.md line 266 to use the new label description that matches the rest of the codebase.

Automated Fix Loop - Iteration Limit Reached

The automated fix loop has reached its iteration limit (3 commits) and automated fixing has stopped.

Issue identified by reviewer:
README.md line 266 still contains the old label description:

--description "Triggers the autonomous drafter agent"

This should be updated to:

--description "Triggers the drafter agent"

What you need to do:

A human needs to review the PR and either:

  1. Push a fix commit addressing the issue above, then apply the agent/lgtm label once satisfied, or
  2. Close the PR if it should not proceed

Important: Re-applying the agent/fixme label will not give the loop another attempt. The iteration cap is based on the total commit count on the branch (currently 3), which only grows. Relabeling will immediately hit the same cap again without attempting a fix. The only way to continue the automated loop is to reduce the branch's commit count below 3 first (e.g., by squashing commits).

The workflow creates draft PRs and isn't fully autonomous, so the new name
better reflects its actual behavior and scope.

Changes:
- Updated workflow description and title in drafter.md
- Recompiled drafter.lock.yml to reflect the new naming
- Updated actions-lock.json during compilation

Fixes #46

Complete the renaming from "Autonomous Developer Agent" to "Drafter" by
updating the agent/code label description in both install-labels.yml and
install-labels.js from "Triggers the autonomous drafter agent" to
"Triggers the drafter agent".

Also removed "autonomous" from the file header comment in
install-labels.js for consistency.
