I did something similar in my hobby project - the agent was promoted, among the other things, to copy a signature from a build artifact into a json file. It worked fine until it didn’t - one day Claude 4 Sonnet randomly flipped one letter in the signature to something else. It wasn’t the end of the world, I catched the error because I always manually test if the release worked, but it shows that AI tools should not be used as execution engines for CI/CD workflows. It’s slow, inefficient and error prone. Just ask the AI to help you write a proper workflow with code.
