HowAgentic pipelines, agents & skills

A system of AI agents, pipelines and skills I designed and built that takes tickets from review to pull request, with a person approving every risky step, plus MySQL and AWS MCP servers that stay read-only and redact secrets and PII. Its skills are shared across teams.
