Add shared AgentDB MCP import and wire deep-report for large-scale discussion search by Copilot · Pull Request #32771 · github/gh-aw

Copilot · 2026-05-17T06:17:20Z

This change introduces AgentDB as a reusable shared MCP component and uses it in a daily workflow that analyzes Discussions at scale. The deep-report workflow now explicitly routes corpus-level discussion analysis through AgentDB semantic/hybrid search.

Shared MCP component: AgentDB
- Added .github/workflows/shared/mcp/agentdb.md.
- Defines an agentdb MCP server using npx agentdb@alpha mcp start.
- Sets runtime storage path via AGENTDB_PATH (/tmp/gh-aw/agentdb/discussions.rvf) for discussion-memory indexing/search in workflow runs.
Daily workflow integration
- Updated .github/workflows/deep-report.md imports to include shared/mcp/agentdb.md.
- Extended the “Gather Discussion Intelligence” phase to require AgentDB-backed large-scale analysis:
  - ingest filtered discussions into AgentDB,
  - run semantic + hybrid retrieval for recurring themes/regressions/anomalies,
  - use ranked search output to prioritize deep analysis clusters.
Compiled output alignment
- Regenerated deep-report.lock.yml to reflect updated frontmatter/import graph.

# deep-report.md (excerpt)
imports:
  - shared/discussions-data-fetch.md
  - shared/mcp/agentdb.md

@copilot mount database on cache-memory folder

Updated AgentDB to store its DB in cache-memory (AGENTDB_PATH: /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/discussions.rvf) and regenerated the lockfile in commit 1cdaf8b.

@copilot configure a custom agentdb cache memory and store file in that path

Done in 89c127d: AgentDB now uses a dedicated cache-memory path (/tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/agentdb/) with AGENTDB_PATH pointing to /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/agentdb/discussions.rvf, and the workflow now creates that custom cache directory before MCP startup.

@copilot configure cache-memory with custom id to avoid clashes

Addressed in 1906c31: AgentDB now sets a custom cache-memory key (agentdb-${{ env.GH_AW_WORKFLOW_ID_SANITIZED }}) to prevent cache clashes, and the lockfile was regenerated.

@copilot ensure this path matches the cache memory path
