Understanding the Automated Quarantine Process

In the world of software development, maintaining the quality of code is crucial. One way to ensure this is by implementing automated validation processes. These processes help identify and address potential issues before they become major problems. In this article, we will explore the concept of invalid agent files being moved to quarantine and how to fix them.

What Happened?

One or more agent YAML files were pushed directly to the main branch and failed validation. As a result, these files have been moved to the agents/invalid directory for safekeeping. This automated quarantine process helps maintain the quality of our agent repository while preserving your work.

Details of the Incident

Original Commit

The original commit that triggered the quarantine is dcf3ca6. This commit was made as part of a chore to add a test agent file.

Commit Message

The commit message is chore: add test agent file. This message indicates that the commit is related to a chore, which is a task that is not directly related to the main functionality of the project.

Validation Workflow Run

The validation workflow run can be found at https://github.com/lucianoayres/chatty-ai-community-store/actions/runs/13750526429. This link provides information about the validation process, including any errors that were encountered.

Quarantine Action Run

The quarantine action run can be found at https://github.com/lucianoayres/chatty-ai-community-store/actions/runs/13750528652. This link provides information about the quarantine process, including the files that were moved to the agents/invalid directory.

Moved Files

The following files were moved to the agents/invalid directory:

agents/abcdefg.yaml → agents/invalid/abcdefg_20250309_164903.yaml

Validation Errors

The validation errors can be found in the following code snippet:
