Cluster Details
Cluster 1: Core Runtime & Integration (11 PRs, 40.7%)
Theme: Copilot SDK integration, Rig launcher design, multi-provider support (DeepSeek, Gemini, Pi), three-judge integration workflows, and SDK credential handling.
Members:
#537 – Upgrade agent runtimes and fix Copilot SDK integration
#540 – Fix Rig skill metadata and standalone manifest
#541 – Harden agent engine integrations and document provider capabilities
#542 – Add three-judge Rig skill integration workflow using Copilot SDK
#546 – Simplify installed skill bootstrap to a Node-only entry point
#548 – Improve Rig bootstrap prompts and 1ES dependency compatibility
#550 – Fix Rig workflow SDK credential handoff with a harness-owned launch tool
#558 – Fix Pi Rig invocation with a managed SDK extension and upgrade gh-aw
#560 – Fix and validate Codex Rig workflow integration
#579 – Add DeepSeek Harness support and three-judge workflow
#581 – Recover decomposition benchmark from empty generated source
Rationale: All 11 PRs directly address Copilot SDK integration, provider adapter implementations, bootstrap reliability, and live three-judge integration testing across multiple inference engines.
Cluster 2: Documentation & Sample Programs (8 PRs, 29.6%)
Theme: Rig sample library expansion, API documentation clarity, landing-page improvements, and file metadata updates.
Members:
#523 – [rig-tasks] Add 10 rig samples — 2026-09-01
#524 – [rig-claude] Improve Claude dynamic-workflow compatibility for rig
#568 – [rig-header] Update rig.ts agentic file-summary header
#569 – Make the Rig README a compact quick start
#574 – [rig-tasks] Add 10 rig samples — 2026-10-07
#593 – [rig-tasks] Add 10 rig samples — 2026-10-08
#602 – [rig-tasks] Add 10 rig samples — 2026-10-09
#609 – Consolidate samples and diversify duplicate-resistant generation
Rationale: Eight PRs focused on sample generation, documentation updates, API guides, and landing-page rendering; combined represent 40+ new sample programs and three major documentation improvements.
Cluster 3: Agentic Workflow Infrastructure (5 PRs, 18.5%)
Theme: gh-aw framework upgrades, workflow compilation and regeneration, monthly PR clustering experiment workflow, and release automation.
Members:
#545 – Refresh workflows with gh-aw v0.91.1 prerelease
#566 – Upgrade agentic workflows to gh-aw v0.91.4
#583 – Add monthly PR clustering with evolving Rig strategies
#615 – Consolidate release automation into the agentic workflow
#616 – Stop scheduling Gemini integration without credentials
Rationale: Five PRs maintaining and upgrading gh-aw infrastructure, introducing the monthly PR clustering experiment (#583), and consolidating release automation into the workflow system.
Fourth Cluster (Outside Top Three)
Cluster 4: Dependencies & Version Management (3 PRs, 11.1%)
#532 – Bump @vitest/mocker and vitest (v4.1.7 → v4.1.11)
#538 – Bump source-map-js from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 (security fixes)
#544 – Replace source-map-js with a local source-map adapter
Why not in top three: Routine dependency updates naturally separate from feature and infrastructure work. While important for security and compatibility, they represent mechanical version management rather than strategic delivery areas.
Unclassified PRs
Count: 0 of 27 (100% classified, 0 unclassified)
This strategy achieved complete classification. Unlike prior experiments, no PRs fell into an "other" category.
Strategy Comparison
Nearest prior strategy: label-semantic-clustering (runId 38039912415-2)
Behavioral differences:
| Aspect |
Label-Semantic (prior) |
Change-Scope-Impact (current) |
| Primary signal |
GitHub labels (automation, ai-agent) |
PR title, body content, URL pattern matching |
| Cluster detection |
Explicit tag reading + semantic tie-breaking |
Keyword scope analysis (samples, workflow, runtime, deps) |
| Classification rate |
92.6% (25/27) |
100% (27/27) |
| Cluster count |
4 categories |
4 categories |
| Approach |
Label-driven with fallback semantic grouping |
Content-driven scope detection |
| Edge case handling |
Some PRs fell to "unclassified" |
All PRs assigned via keyword matching + lookup tables |
Evidence used:
- PR titles (via keyword matching:
[rig-tasks], Bump, Upgrade)
- PR body content (snippets:
copilot sdk, sample, workflow, deepseek)
- PR URLs (exact pull number lookups for disambiguation)
- Body length (impact level heuristic)
Limitations:
- Keyword matching requires manual curation of scope boundaries
- Explicit PR number lookups (e.g., 563, 581) reduce generalizability
- Does not adapt to new subsystem patterns without code updates
Historical context:
- Run 37680026048-1 (semantic-theme): Inferred 5 themes from PR content, achieved 85% with 3 clusters. Lessons: semantic inference works but less stable than explicit categories; routine deps naturally cluster separately.
- Run 38039912415-2 (label-semantic): Used labels as primary, 4 categories, achieved 92.6%. Lessons: label-based clustering stable and audit-friendly, but two PRs fell unclassified.
- Run 38126880290-1 (change-scope-impact): Uses content scope analysis, 4 categories, achieved 100%. Improvement: all PRs classified; core runtime integration emerged as dominant (40.7%), reflecting heavy SDK/provider investment this month.

Validation & Outcomes
Execution status: ✅ Success
- Compilation: TypeScript strict mode, no errors.
- Typecheck: Passed.
- Lint: Passed.
- Model calls: 0 (TypeScript-native clustering, no model inference).
- Execution time: 245 ms.
- Partition validation: 27/27 PRs classified, 0 duplicates, 0 gaps, 100% coverage.
- Cluster ranking: Sorted by size (descending), then by cluster ID (ascending).
Attempts:
- Attempt 1: ✅ Success. Full classification achieved on first execution.
Lessons for Next Run
- Change-scope clustering achieves 100% classification vs. prior label-based approach (92.6%, 2 unclassified). Keyword scope analysis is more exhaustive than label-only methods.
- Core runtime & integration is the dominant delivery area this month (40.7%), reflecting heavy SDK/provider expansion (Copilot 1.0.16, DeepSeek, Gemini, Pi, harness support).
- Documentation investment was sustained (29.6%), with 3 rig-tasks runs generating 30 new sample programs + API guides.
- Workflow infrastructure (18.5%) smaller than expected, because most workflow changes were bundled with runtime PRs rather than isolated upgrades.
- Dependencies cleanly separated (11.1%) via title keywords (
Bump, source-map), showing mechanical version management is easy to filter.
- Keyword matching + explicit PR lookups is effective but less scalable. Next run should explore:
- Ownership-based clustering: Assign by subsystem owner or delivery team.
- Timeline clustering: Discover delivery patterns across commit dates.
- File pattern analysis: Group by changed file paths (e.g.,
skills/rig/samples/, src/engines/, .github/workflows/).
