          What this template gives you

          • Interface

            A chat window, in your browser

            Use the included interface to send a request to this template.

          • Gateway

            explain-build-failures-readonly gateway

            This template sends its requests through explain-build-failures-readonly gateway, where its access rules and limits apply.

          • Model

            explain-build-failures-model

            This template uses explain-build-failures-model through the explain-build-failures-pool pool.

          Usage

          Hand this template to an AI agent to set up this template

          Node.js and npm to run npx.

          Dome CLI, installed with brew install dome-systems/tap/dome, then signed in with dome auth login.

          Docker Compose to run the companion app locally.

          1. 1

            Create a workspace

            dome workspaces create --name <workspace-name>

            The CLI creates and selects a workspace context for you.

          2. 2

            Confirm the workspace context

            dome context list

            The workspace you just created is already selected.

          3. 3

            Pull the template

            npx @domesystems/templates pull dome-systems/explain-build-failures@0.1.1 --dir explain-build-failures

            Downloads this immutable release and verifies its digest.

          4. 4

            Run the template

            npx @domesystems/templates up --dir explain-build-failures

            Imports it into Dome and starts the companion app.

          Dome import variables

          npx @domesystems/templates up imports the template into Dome and prompts for required values. For unattended runs, set them as DOME_IMPORT_VAR_… environment variables.

          Required values

          • DOME_IMPORT_VAR_github_oauth_client_id
          • DOME_IMPORT_VAR_github_oauth_client_secret
          • DOME_IMPORT_VAR_anthropic_api_key

          Setup guide

          Follow this template's setup guidance for agent variables and upstream connections.

          # Set up Explain Build Failures
          
          This is a read-only composite, but it needs a model credential and every listed data source configured before it can run. Set up isolated test accounts or workspaces first, grant only the smallest read scope that exposes the test data, and store every credential only in Dome's secret inputs. Never put a key or secret in this repository, an agent prompt, or a chat message.
          
          ## Create the model credential
          
          - Create an API key in the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys).
          - Enter the raw key as `anthropic_api_key` during import. Do not prepend `Bearer `.
          - The template uses that key only for its managed `claude-sonnet-5` model connection.
          
          ## Create the provider credentials
          
          - `github_oauth_client_id`: The Client ID of a GitHub OAuth app registered with Dome's callback URL.
          - `github_oauth_client_secret`: The client secret for the GitHub OAuth app.
          
          For a provider that asks you to register a manual OAuth app, use this callback URL exactly:
          
          `https://api.domesystems.ai/oauth/callback`
          
          ## Set up each connected provider
          
          ### GitHub
          
          GitHub's hosted MCP server supports OAuth, but does not expose Dynamic Client
          Registration. Before import, create a GitHub OAuth app in the
          [GitHub developer settings](https://github.com/settings/developers): select
          **OAuth Apps**, then **New OAuth App**. Use a recognizable name, your
          organization's homepage URL, and this callback URL:
          
          ```text
          https://api.domesystems.ai/oauth/callback
          ```
          
          After creating the app, copy its client ID and generate its client secret.
          GitHub's [OAuth-app creation guide](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/oauth-apps/building-oauth-apps/creating-an-oauth-app)
          has the current field-by-field instructions.
          
          - `github_oauth_client_id` and `github_oauth_client_secret`: enter the GitHub
            OAuth app credentials. Configure the app's callback URL as
            `https://api.domesystems.ai/oauth/callback`.
          - After import, start the shared GitHub OAuth connection and approve it as a
            dedicated test user. The template requests `public_repo` and `read:org`, and
            connects to GitHub's read-only MCP endpoint. This permits public-repository
            investigation while preventing the MCP server from exposing write tools.
          - Before relying on the connection, verify the consent scopes and organization
            OAuth-app policy, then test one allowed public repository. GitHub OAuth does
            not have a read-only private-repository scope: do not grant `repo` merely to
            make this composite work. Keep repository administration, workflow, package,
            and organization-write access out of the authorization.
          
          For a headless connection, use the separate fine-grained-PAT configuration and
          limit it to the intended repositories with read-only permissions.
          
          ### GitLab
          
          This provider uses Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). Do **not** create or paste an OAuth client ID or client secret: after import, Dome registers the client and opens the provider's consent page.
          
          GitLab.com supports OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration for its hosted MCP
          server, so this composite does not require a manually registered application or
          an access token.
          
          - After import, complete shared OAuth as a dedicated test member. The template
            requests GitLab's `mcp` scope; verify a known test project is
            visible and that an unshared private project is unavailable.
          
          This composite targets GitLab.com. For a headless connection, use a separate
          project, group, or personal access-token configuration with the same read-only
          scopes. Use a separately reviewed template for a self-managed instance or a
          write-capable workflow.
          
          ### Buildkite
          
          This provider uses Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). Do **not** create or paste an OAuth client ID or client secret: after import, Dome registers the client and opens the provider's consent page.
          
          Buildkite's hosted read-only MCP endpoint uses OAuth with Dynamic Client
          Registration. This composite uses `https://mcp.buildkite.com/mcp/readonly`, so
          the upstream server issues read-only MCP permissions after consent.
          
          - After import, start the shared Buildkite OAuth connection, sign in as a
            dedicated test user, select the intended organization, and approve consent.
          - Verify a known test build is visible and that a build in an unshared pipeline
            is unavailable. Build creation, retry, cancellation, and other write tools
            should not be present.
          
          For a headless service that cannot complete OAuth, Buildkite supports API-token
          pass-through at `https://mcp.buildkite.com/direct`. That is a separate,
          token-based connection—not this OAuth template.
          
          ### Sentry
          
          This provider uses Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). Do **not** create or paste an OAuth client ID or client secret: after import, Dome registers the client and opens the provider's consent page.
          
          After saving, complete OAuth with a test user that can view only the target organization and projects. Use project-scoped Sentry access wherever available.
          
          ## Import and verify
          
          1. Import the template and provide the values above.
          2. Complete every browser OAuth flow with the intended dedicated test user. Token-based sources do not open a browser.
          3. Open **Tools**, refresh discovery, and confirm every connection is attached to the template gateway.
          4. Run the managed agent against known test data. Treat the template as verified only when the run succeeds **and calls at least one expected read-only tool**.
          
          If a connection is unreachable, check the provider section above for its callback, API/MCP enablement, token prefix, consent scopes, and user/workspace access before retrying.

          Runtime environment

          These variables are required to run the agent. During pull, .env.example is copied to .env when available. If they’re missing, npx @domesystems/templates up retrieves them from Dome and saves them in .env. Pass --provision to refresh them.

          Agent instructions

          You are Explain Build Failures, a read-only assistant. Analyze build failures and recommend likely causes and next investigations.
          
          Use connected tools only to retrieve information. Do not invoke tools that create, update, delete, send, approve, or change upstream state, even if a provider exposes them. Produce a clear answer with source-specific evidence, confidence, assumptions, and recommended human next steps. When an action is needed, draft or recommend it for a person to perform; do not perform it.
