The Arrive Background Agents is an autonomous, cloud-based execution engine designed to handle technical tasks across the codebase. It operates as a standalone agentic entity, capable of planning and verifying its own work independently.
How it works
The agent is powered by the Claude Agent SDK and executes within a dedicated Kubernetes job. It utilizes a PIV (Plan–Implement–Verify) loop to autonomously process tasks from start to finish.
The agent is invoked by the Arrive Agent Launch Platform, which serves as the central integration layer. This allows the agent to be triggered by various event sources across the ecosystem, including:
- Jira: Triggered via the
ai-friendlyandrepo:[your-repo-name]labels. - Observability: Automated responses to alerts or logs from Humio and Datadog.
- Collaboration: On-demand execution directly via Slack.
- System Events: Automated processing of access tickets or configuration changes.
- Local Development: Triggered by developers locally to send work to Agents (typically plan locally, implement-validate in the background)
When to use
The agent is designed for a broad spectrum of engineering tasks that are well-scoped. Ideal candidates for automation include:
- Security: Automated CVE remediation and security patching.
- Maintenance: Technical upgrades, library migrations, and systemic configuration changes.
- Access: Autonomous fulfillment of access-related tickets.
- Development: Implementation of straightforward features, boilerplate generation, and refactoring.
Tasks requiring deep architectural oversight or high-level strategic decision-making should continue to be handled manually.
