Regression Cicd Hooks

# regression-cicd-hooks

Integrate regression testing into CI/CD pipelines with automated baseline comparison, merge blocking, and multi-platform support.

## Triggers

- "add regression checks to CI"
- "setup regression pipeline"
- "configure regression gates"
- "block merge on regression"
- "add pre-commit regression check"
- "integrate baseline tests with GitHub Actions"
- "setup regression for GitLab"

## Purpose

This skill automates regression detection in CI/CD workflows by:
- Integrating baseline comparisons into PR/MR pipelines
- Blocking merges when regressions detected
- Running regression checks on pre-commit hooks
- Supporting GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Gitea Actions
- Notifying teams of regression failures
- Storing baseline comparisons as pipeline artifacts

## Behavior

When triggered, this skill:

1. **Identifies CI/CD platform**:
   - Detect existing CI configuration (.github, .gitlab-ci.yml)
   - Determine platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Gitea Actions)
   - Check for existing regression checks
   - Identify project type and test framework

2. **Configures regression pipeline**:
   - Add regression stage to workflow
   - Configure baseline comparison step
   - Set up artifact storage for results
   - Configure merge blocking rules
   - Add notification channels

3. **Implements local pre-commit hook**:
   - Create `.git/hooks/pre-commit` script
   - Add fast regression pattern checks
   - Configure skip patterns for WIP commits
   - Link to full CI regression checks

4. **Sets up multi-environment baselines**:
   - Configure environment-specific baselines (dev, staging, prod)
   - Set regression thresholds per environment
   - Link baselines to git branches/releases
   - Configure baseline update workflow

5. **Adds notifications**:
   - Configure Slack/Discord/email alerts
   - Add regression report to PR/MR comments
   - Link to detailed comparison reports
   - Tag relevant stakeholders

6. **Documents workflow**:
   - Create regression CI documentation
   - Add troubleshooting guide
   - Document baseline update process
   - Include developer quick-start

## Multi-Environment Strategy

### Development Branch

```yaml
development:
  frequency: every_commit
  baseline_update: automatic
  thresholds: relaxed
  notifications: minimal
  purpose: Catch obvious regressions early
```

### Staging Branch

```yaml
staging:
  frequency: every_merge
  baseline_update: manual_approval
  thresholds: moderate
  notifications: team_channel
  purpose: Validate release candidates
```

### Production Branch

```yaml
production:
  frequency: every_release
  baseline_update: requires_signoff
  thresholds: strict
  notifications: all_stakeholders
  purpose: Protect production quality
```

## Branch Protection Integration

### GitHub

```yaml
# .github/branch-protection.json

{
  "required_status_checks": {
    "strict": true,
    "contexts": [

## Notification Examples

### Slack Message

```markdown
🔴 **Regression Detected in PR #123**

**PR**: feat: Add user profile endpoint
**Author**: @developer
**Branch**: `feature/user-profile` → `main`

**Regressions Found**: 3

1. ❌ **Functional**: user-login test failed
   - Expected: 200 OK
   - Got: 500 Internal Server Error
   - Severity: Critical

2. ⚠️ **Performance**: API latency degraded
   - p95: 150ms (baseline: 100ms)
   - Increase: +50%
   - Threshold: 15%

3. ⚠️ **API Contract**: Response schema changed
   - New field: `user.profile.avatar`
   - Breaking: true

**Action Required**: @engineering-leads

```

### PR Comment

```markdown
## 🔍 Regression Check Results

**Status**: ❌ Regressions Detected

| Check | Status | Details |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Functional | ❌ Failed | 1/45 tests regressed |
| Performance | ⚠️ Warning | p95 latency +50% |
| API Contract | ⚠️ Warning | 1 breaking change |
| Visual | ✅ Passed | No pixel diff |

### Failed Tests

#### user-login

**Baseline** (v1.2.0):
```json
{
  "status": 200,
  "body": { "token": "..." }
}
```

**Current**:
```json
{
  "status": 500,
  "body": { "error": "Internal Server Error" }
}
```

**Root Cause**: Validation middleware broken in commit abc123

### Performance Regression

| Metric | Baseline | Current | Change | Threshold |
|--------|----------|---------|--------|-----------|
| p50 | 45ms | 48ms | +6.7% | ±10% ✅ |
| p95 | 100ms | 150ms | +50% | ±15% ❌ |
| p99 | 250ms | 300ms | +20% | ±20% ✅ |

### API Contract Changes

**Breaking Change Detected**:
- Added `user.profile.avatar` field
- Clients expecting strict schema will break

### Recommendations

- [ ] Fix validation middleware error handling
- [ ] Investigate p95 latency spike
- [ ] Version API or make avatar optional

**Merge Blocked**: Fix regressions or request override

## Usage Examples

### Setup for New Project

```
User: "Add regression checks to our GitHub Actions CI"

Skill executes:
1. Detect GitHub Actions platform
2. Check for existing workflows
3. Generate regression-check.yml
4. Create baseline-update.yml
5. Setup branch protection
6. Create configuration file
7. Install pre-commit hook
8. Generate documentation

Output:
"Regression CI/CD Setup Complete

Platform: GitHub Actions
Workflows Created:
✓ .github/workflows/regression-check.yml - PR checks
✓ .github/workflows/baseline-update.yml - Baseline updates

Configuration:
✓ .aiwg/config/regression-cicd.yaml

Branch Protection:
✓ main: Requires regression-check to pass

Pre-commit Hook:
✓ .git/hooks/pre-commit - Fast local checks

Next Steps:
1. Review configuration in regression-cicd.yaml
2. Create initial baseline: aiwg baseline create functional-baseline
3. Push to trigger first regression check
4. Configure Slack webhook (optional)

Documentation: .aiwg/docs/regression-ci.md"
```

### Add to Existing Pipeline

```
User: "Integrate regression tests into our GitLab CI"

Skill analyzes:
- Existing .gitlab-ci.yml
- Current test stage configuration
- Baseline storage availability

Adds:
"Regression Stage Added to GitLab CI

Changes:
✓ Added 'regression' stage after 'test'
✓ Created regression-check job
✓ Created baseline-update job
✓ Configured artifact storage
✓ Added MR comment integration

Merge Request Pipeline:
test → regression → deploy
       ↓ (blocks merge on failure)

Review changes: .gitlab-ci.yml
Commit and push to activate"
```

### Configure Custom Thresholds

```
User: "Set stricter performance thresholds for production"

Skill updates regression-cicd.yaml:
"Performance Thresholds Updated

Environment: production
Changes:
- p50_tolerance: 10% → 5%
- p95_tolerance: 15% → 10%
- p99_tolerance: 20% → 15%
- throughput_tolerance: -5% → 0%

New baseline required for production.
Create with: aiwg baseline create functional-baseline-prod"
```

## Integration

This skill uses:
- `regression-baseline`: For baseline creation and management
- `regression-metrics`: For performance threshold validation
- `regression-report`: For generating detailed reports
- `project-awareness`: For detecting CI platform and configuration
- `notification-dispatch`: For Slack/email/comment notifications

## Agent Orchestration

```yaml
agents:
  setup:
    agent: devops-engineer
    focus: CI/CD configuration and integration

  configuration:
    agent: test-architect
    focus: Threshold tuning and baseline strategy

  troubleshooting:
    agent: reliability-engineer
    focus: Pipeline debugging and optimization
```

## Output Locations

- Workflows: `.github/workflows/` or `.gitlab-ci.yml` or `.gitea/workflows/`
- Configuration: `.aiwg/config/regression-cicd.yaml`
- Pre-commit: `.git/hooks/pre-commit`
- Documentation: `.aiwg/docs/regression-ci.md`
- Reports: `.aiwg/testing/baseline-comparisons/`

## Troubleshooting

### Baseline Not Found

```bash
# First run on new pipeline
echo "No baseline found. Creating initial baseline..."
aiwg baseline create functional-baseline --approve-initial
```

### Merge Block Override

```bash
# Admin override for emergencies
gh pr review 123 --approve --body "Override regression block: urgent hotfix"
gh pr merge 123 --admin --squash
```

### False Positive Regression

```bash
# Update baseline if change is intentional
aiwg baseline update functional-baseline \
  --approve-changes user-login \
  --justification "Added avatar field per REQ-456"
```
