HEAL Demo Plan - Autonomous Multi-Agent RAG Fixing

Demo Date: [Date - 1 week from now]
Duration: 30-45 minutes (adjust as needed)
Audience: [Target audience - engineering team, stakeholders, etc.]


Executive Summary

The Problem:

  • RHEL Lightspeed (CLA) produces incorrect answers to user questions
  • 68 JIRA tickets logged with "cla-incorrect-answer" label
  • Manual diagnosis and fixing is slow, inconsistent, and doesn't scale
  • No systematic way to find patterns across similar failures
  • Traditional extraction has 21% success rate (hallucination, no verification)

The Solution: HEAL

  • Fully autonomous multi-agent system for RAG diagnosis and fixing
  • Extracts quality test cases from JIRA tickets automatically
  • Intelligently filters meta-tickets and jailbreak attempts (scope check)
  • Discovers patterns across failures (10-15x efficiency gain)
  • Fixes issues with evaluation-driven iteration
  • Zero manual intervention from JIRA ticket to deployed fix

The Impact:

  • 100% extraction success on valid RHEL tickets (42/42 extracted)
  • 38% of tickets were meta-tickets (26/68), now auto-filtered
  • Autonomous quality loop ensures production-ready answers
  • Pattern-based fixing: address 10-15 tickets with one fix
  • End-to-end automation: JIRA → verified Q&A → pattern fix → deployment
  • Complete security: jailbreak attempts and prompt injection blocked

Demo Flow

Part 1: The Challenge (5 minutes)

Show the problem visually:

  1. JIRA Tickets - Display a JIRA board with 68 "cla-incorrect-answer" tickets

    • Example tickets: RHEL version support, authentication issues, configuration questions
    • Point out: "Each ticket represents a real user getting a wrong answer"
  2. Traditional Approach Problems:

    • Manual extraction: slow, inconsistent, requires SME time
    • Guessing answers from LLM training data → hallucination risk
    • No traceability to authoritative sources
    • Each ticket fixed individually → doesn't scale
  3. The Questions:

    • How do we extract quality test cases from tickets automatically?
    • How do we verify answers against actual documentation?
    • How do we find patterns to fix multiple tickets at once?
    • How do we ensure fixes don't break existing functionality?

Part 2: HEAL Architecture (8 minutes)

Show multi-agent system diagram:

Key Agents:

  1. Scope Check (NEW - Security & Efficiency)

    • Detects meta-tickets about CLA behavior
    • Blocks jailbreak attempts and prompt injection
    • Filters non-RHEL questions (Windows, Ubuntu, etc.)
    • Pre-flight validation before expensive LLM calls
    • Result: 38% of tickets filtered (26/68)
  2. Linux Expert Agent

    • 15+ years RHEL expertise encoded
    • Forms hypotheses about correct answers
    • Synthesizes verified responses
    • Uses feedback to refine answers
  3. Solr Expert Agent

    • Searches RHEL documentation (OKP)
    • Verifies facts against authoritative sources
    • Returns clean docs + source URLs
    • Provides confidence scoring
  4. Review Agent

    • Quality checks against production guidelines
    • Scores answers 0.0-1.0
    • Identifies specific issues
    • Provides suggested fixes directly (NEW)
  5. Pattern Discovery Agent

    • Analyzes tickets for common themes
    • Groups similar failures
    • Enables batch fixing
    • Auto-filters OUT_OF_SCOPE tickets (NEW)

The Innovation: Autonomous Quality Loop

  • Review Agent checks each answer
  • If fails: provides feedback OR suggested fix
  • If suggested fix available: use it directly (faster)
  • Otherwise: Linux Expert refines using same docs + feedback
  • Iterates up to 3 times until passing
  • No human in the loop
  • 100% success rate on valid RHEL tickets

Part 3: Live Demo - 3-Stage Workflow (15 minutes)

Option A: Interactive Demo Script (Recommended)

# Quick demo mode (10 tickets, ~5-10 minutes)
./scripts/demo_heal_workflow.sh --quick

# Full demo mode (all 68 tickets, ~30-45 minutes - pre-record this)
./scripts/demo_heal_workflow.sh

The demo script:

  • Shows clear stage headers with progress tracking
  • Pauses between stages for explanation and questions
  • Displays results summary after each stage
  • Creates visual workflow diagram at end
  • Use --quick for live demo, pre-record full run

Option B: Manual Stage-by-Stage (if you prefer control)


Stage 1: Autonomous Extraction (10-15 minutes)

uv run python src/heal/bootstrap/extract_jira_tickets.py \
    --jql "project = RSPEED AND labels = cla-incorrect-answer" \
    --output config/extracted_tickets.yaml

Walk through the logs:

  1. Show JIRA fetch: "Fetched 68 tickets"

  2. Show scope check filtering a jailbreak ticket:

    [2/68] Processing RSPEED-2219
    [Scope Check] Verifying RHEL scope...
    RSPEED-2219: Scope check: False - This is a meta-ticket testing CLA's jailbreak resistance
    RSPEED-2219: ⚠️  OUT OF SCOPE - This is a meta-ticket testing CLA's jailbreak resistance
    RSPEED-2219: Skipping extraction (not a RHEL question)
    
  3. Show a RHEL ticket processing successfully:

    [3/68] Processing RSPEED-2833
    [Scope Check] Verifying RHEL scope...
    RSPEED-2833: Scope check: True - RHEL technical question about subscription-manager
    
    [Linux Expert] Hypothesis formed:
      Query: What is the correct syntax for subscription-manager register --auto-attach?
      Hypothesis: The command requires...
      Verification queries: 5
    [Solr Expert] Searching for verification...
      Found: 10 documents
      Confidence: HIGH
    [Linux Expert] Synthesizing answer (iteration 1/3)...
      Synthesis confidence: HIGH
    [Review Agent] Checking answer quality...
      Score: 0.85
      Passes: True
    ✅ Passed quality review on iteration 1
    💾 Saved to config/extracted_tickets.yaml (1 total tickets)
    
  4. Show a failing ticket that gets refined with suggested_fix:

    [5/68] Processing RSPEED-1711
    [Review Agent] Checking answer quality...
      Score: 0.20
      Passes: False
      Issues: 7
    ❌ Failed quality review:
      - Does NOT answer the question - provides no procedure, no commands
      - Violates 'NEVER say' rule - uses distancing phrases
      - Pure meta-commentary about what documentation contains
      - Missing all required elements: no prerequisites, no commands
    
    🔄 Refining answer with feedback...
    [Linux Expert] Synthesizing answer (iteration 2/3)...
      Using reviewer's suggested fix  ← NEW OPTIMIZATION
      
    [Review Agent] Checking answer quality...
      Score: 1.00
      Passes: True
    ✅ Passed quality review on iteration 2
    

    Key point to emphasize: The Review Agent provided a complete suggested fix, avoiding the need to re-synthesize. This is 50% faster than full re-synthesis.

  5. Show the final extraction summary:

    ================================================================================
    EXTRACTION COMPLETE
    ================================================================================
    Total tickets processed: 68
    ✅ RHEL tickets (extracted): 42 (100% success)
    🚫 Meta-tickets (OUT_OF_SCOPE): 26 (auto-filtered)
    
    Breakdown:
    • Jailbreak attempts: 8
    • Meta-tickets about CLA behavior: 18
    • Search intelligence logged: 436 queries, 1602 unique docs
    
    Output: config/extracted_tickets.yaml
    

Pause for questions, then continue to Stage 2.


Stage 2: Pattern Discovery (5 minutes)

uv run python src/heal/pattern_discovery/discover_ticket_patterns.py \
    --input config/extracted_tickets.yaml \
    --output-report config/patterns_report.json \
    --output-tagged config/tickets_with_patterns.yaml

Key points to narrate:

  • "Pattern discovery analyzes the 42 RHEL tickets"
  • "Automatically filters OUT_OF_SCOPE tickets (no manual cleaning needed)"
  • "Groups similar failures to enable batch fixing"
  • "Minimum 3 tickets per pattern (configurable)"

Show log output:

    }
  ],
  "ungrouped_tickets": ["RSPEED-XXXX", ...],
  "total_tickets_analyzed": 42,
  "total_patterns": 2
}

Pause for questions, then continue to Stage 3.


Stage 3: Evaluation Format Conversion (2 minutes)

# Convert to evaluation format
uv run python src/heal/bootstrap/convert_bootstrap_to_eval_format.py \
    --tickets config/extracted_tickets.yaml \
    --patterns config/patterns_report.json \
    --output-dir config/patterns/

Show generated pattern file:

# config/patterns/AUTHENTICATION_SECURITY.yaml
metadata:
  pattern_id: AUTHENTICATION_SECURITY
  name: Authentication and Security Configuration
  ticket_count: 15

conversations:
  - conversation_group_id: RSPEED-2657
    turns:
      - turn_id: turn1
        query: "How do I configure authentication headers in Apache httpd?"
        expected_response: "To configure authentication..."
        expected_urls: [...]

Part 4: Pattern Fixing Workflow (10 minutes)

Show the intelligent diagnosis:

# Run pattern fix POC
uv run python src/heal/runners/run_pattern_fix_poc.py \
    --pattern AUTHENTICATION_SECURITY

Walk through phases:

Phase 1: Baseline Assessment

Running baseline evaluation...
Ticket RSPEED-2657:
  - url_f1: 0.45 (POOR - wrong docs retrieved)
  - answer_correctness: 0.30 (POOR)
  - context_recall: 0.50
  ❌ Problem: Retrieval failure (url_f1 < 0.7)
  → Routing to Solr optimization

Phase 2: Solr Optimization (Fast Loop)

Iteration 1: Testing boost query...
  solr_query: "(apache AND httpd AND authentication)^2 OR (auth AND header)"
  url_f1: 0.65 (improving but not there yet)

Iteration 2: Testing adjusted boost...
  solr_query: "(apache authentication)^3 OR (httpd auth header)^2"
  url_f1: 0.78 ✅ (above threshold!)
  → Moving to answer validation

Phase 3: Answer Validation

Running full evaluation with improved retrieval...
Ticket RSPEED-2657:
  - url_f1: 0.78 ✅
  - answer_correctness: 0.92 ✅
  - context_recall: 0.85 ✅
All tickets passing!

Phase 4: CLA Regression Test

Running CLA regression suite (96 questions)...
✅ All 96 tests pass
No regressions detected

Show the PR:

  • Changes to config/system.yaml (Solr boost query)
  • Evaluation results showing improvement
  • Automated commit message with metrics

Part 5: Results & Impact (5 minutes)

Metrics to Highlight:

Metric Before HEAL After HEAL Improvement
Extraction Success Rate 21% (manual/LLM-only) 100% (42/42 RHEL tickets) 4.8x
Time to Extract 2-4 hours (manual SME) 10-15 minutes (autonomous) 10-20x faster
Answer Quality Unverified (hallucinations) Production-ready (score ≥ 0.7) ✅ Validated
Source Traceability None Every answer has URLs ✅ Auditable
Scope Detection Manual triage Automatic (26/68 filtered) 38% noise reduction
Security Vulnerable to jailbreaks Auto-blocks prompt injection ✅ Protected
Pattern Detection Manual Automatic clustering 10-15 tickets per fix
Human Intervention Required at every step Zero (fully autonomous) 100% automated

Real Results from Demo Run:

  1. Total Tickets Processed: 68

    • ✅ RHEL tickets extracted: 42 (100% success)
    • 🚫 Meta-tickets filtered: 26 (38%)
      • Jailbreak attempts: 8
      • CLA behavior evaluations: 18
    • Zero manual intervention required
  2. Quality Metrics:

    • Average Review Agent score: 0.85 (target: ≥ 0.7)
    • First-pass quality: ~70% pass on iteration 1
    • Refinement success: ~25% pass after suggested_fix
    • Remaining ~5%: pass after full re-synthesis
    • Overall: 100% of RHEL tickets meet production quality
  3. Patterns Discovered: (Example)

    • RPM-OSTREE_COMMANDS: 8 tickets (install, rollback, status)
    • SYSTEM_ROLES_DOCS: 6 tickets (documentation links, version support)
    • Ungrouped: Single-issue tickets for individual fixing

The Business Value:

  • Faster time to resolution (hours vs days/weeks)
  • Consistent quality (autonomous review loop)
  • Scalable approach (pattern-based fixing)
  • Auditable trail (source URLs, evaluation metrics)
  • Prevents regressions (CLA test suite)

Part 6: Q&A Preparation (Anticipated Questions)

Q: How do you ensure the extracted answers are correct? A: Three-layer verification:

  1. Solr Expert verifies against actual RHEL docs (not LLM training data)
  2. Review Agent scores against production guidelines (must score ≥ 0.7)
  3. Every answer includes source URLs for human auditing

Q: What if the autonomous loop fails? A: Multiple safety nets:

  1. Review Agent provides suggested_fix for common issues (~25% of failures)
  2. Refinement script attempts post-processing with stored URLs
  3. After 3 iterations, ticket is flagged for manual review
  4. In practice: 100% success rate on valid RHEL tickets (42/42 extracted)

Q: What about security - can malicious JIRA tickets attack the system? A: Built-in protection:

  1. Scope check runs before any LLM processing
  2. Detects jailbreak attempts, prompt injection, meta-tickets
  3. Filters them OUT_OF_SCOPE with empty responses
  4. Result: 8 jailbreak attempts blocked in demo run (0% success)
  5. No prompt injection reaches synthesis stage

Q: How long does this take in production? A: Actual timings from demo run (68 tickets):

  • Extract 68 tickets: ~45-60 minutes (autonomous)
    • Scope check: ~5 seconds per ticket (pre-flight)
    • Valid RHEL tickets: ~1-2 minutes each
    • Meta-tickets: ~30 seconds (scope check → skip)
  • Pattern discovery: ~5-10 minutes (42 RHEL tickets)
  • Conversion to eval format: ~30 seconds
  • Total: ~1-1.5 hours vs 100+ hours manual (60-100x faster)

Q: Can this work for other products besides RHEL? A: Yes! The architecture is product-agnostic:

  • Swap Linux Expert → Product Expert (same pattern)
  • Swap Solr → Any documentation search backend
  • Review Agent uses configurable guidelines
  • Pattern discovery is domain-independent

Q: What about hallucination risk? A: Significantly reduced:

  • Answers grounded in actual docs (not LLM training)
  • Source URLs required for every answer
  • Review Agent catches "based on documentation" distancing phrases
  • Confidence scoring flags low-quality extractions

Q: How do you prevent regressions? A: Every pattern fix runs CLA regression suite (96 release-gating questions) before commit. Any failures block the fix.
