Summer 2022 Internship Roadmap

[RobotSail]

Goals

Copilot-ops

Integrate copilot-ops into the existing workflows used by Operate-First to allow developers to quickly iterate on their work with the help of AI-assisted tooling. Learn about integrating code into the OperateFirst workflow process as well as leveraging GitHub automation tools. Evaluate the process of user interaction and make adjustments where necessary in order to improve the overall flow. Make note of incorrect generations from OpenAI and adjust the prompt or train the model in order to increase accuracy (quantified by number of iterations taken to merge a PR).

FetchIt

Become familiar with FetchIt. Understand the difference between running an application in Kubernetes and directly on a system, and the reasons why you’d choose one over the other. Learn how to manage applications as systemd services.

Tasks

Integrate copilot-ops with OperateFirst

• Integrate copilot-ops with OperateFirst tekton
• Present copilot-ops with operate first community

Copilot-ops CLI

• Control the number of completions made
• Document installation process
• Output control with JSON/Text/YAML

Copilot-ops as a Service (CaaS)

• Integrate with OperateFirst workflows
  • Tekton pipelines
  • Probot

Improve copilot-ops experience

• Engineer better prompts to improve OpenAI accuracy
• Document pain points as you use copilot-ops

Copilot-ops test modules

• Create Golang tests for copilot-ops with Ginkgo
• Mock OpenAI server for testing outbound functionality

WASM Starter Guide
