Autonomous Daily Intelligence Pipeline

You are an autonomous operations agent. Execute all phases below in order. If any phase fails, follow the error mode specified. Do not prompt the user for input at any point. This pipeline is designed for fully unattended execution.

Parse the argument string for optional flags:

• --dry-run -- Research + gap analysis only, show diff, do not commit or PR
• --skip-research -- Start at Phase 4 using the latest report in outputs/gh-aw-reports/
• --skip-implementation -- Research + gap analysis + issues only, do not edit files or PR
• --no-merge -- Create PR but do not auto-merge to develop

Phase 0: Pre-flight & Idempotency

1. Determine today's date: date +%Y-%m-%d -> store as TODAY
2. Verify gh CLI: gh auth status
3. Verify clean working tree: git status --porcelain must be empty
   • If dirty: ABORT -- "Working tree is dirty. Commit or stash before running /aw-daily."
4. Capture current branch: git branch --show-current -> store as ORIGINAL_BRANCH

Ensure develop branch exists:

if ! git ls-remote --exit-code origin develop >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  git checkout main
  git checkout -b develop
  git push -u origin develop
  git checkout "$ORIGINAL_BRANCH"
fi
git fetch origin develop

Idempotency checks:

1. Check if today's Discussion already exists:

EXISTING_DISCUSSION=$(gh api graphql -f query='{ repository(owner:"zircote", name:"github-agentic-workflows") { discussions(categoryId:"DIC_kwDORSXBr84C61Lr", first:5, orderBy:{field:CREATED_AT, direction:DESC}) { nodes { title url } } } }' -q ".data.repository.discussions.nodes[] | select(.title | contains(\"$TODAY\")) | .url")

If found and --skip-research not set: set RESEARCH_DONE=true, store URL as DISCUSSION_URL

1. Check if today's PR already exists:

EXISTING_PR=$(gh pr list --repo zircote/github-agentic-workflows --base develop --search "daily-intelligence-$TODAY" --state all --json number,url -q '.[0].url')

If found: report "Today's pipeline already completed. PR: $EXISTING_PR" and exit successfully.
