Bug Exterminator¶

Fix bug-hunter issues by opening a focused PR.

How it works¶

Searches for open issues labeled bug-hunter or titled [bug-hunter]. For each candidate, attempts to reproduce the bug locally — if reproduction succeeds and a minimal fix is safe to apply, it opens a PR. Most runs end with noop.

  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elastic/ai-github-actions/v0/gh-agent-workflows/bug-exterminator/example.yml \
  -o .github/workflows/bug-exterminator.yml

`schedule`	Weekdays
`workflow_dispatch`	Manual

`setup-commands`	Shell commands run before the agent starts	No	`""`
