Action Steps
  1. Build a deterministic classifier as the primary decision-maker in the CI pipeline
  2. Integrate an LLM as an advisory component to provide additional feedback
  3. Configure the LLM to provide non-blocking suggestions
  4. Test the combined system to ensure seamless interaction
  5. Apply the never-block contract to retire the old system and adopt the new integrated pipeline
Who Needs to Know This

DevOps teams and software engineers benefit from this approach as it allows them to leverage LLMs for improvement without sacrificing control over the CI process. This integration enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of the development pipeline

Key Insight

💡 Deterministic classifiers should be the primary decision-makers in CI pipelines, with LLMs providing advisory feedback to enhance the process without blocking it
