# Revert RCA Loop
Detects and analyzes reversions of AI-authored PRs to identify patterns and prevent recurrence.
**Goal:** Close the learning loop when the autonomous system makes a mistake: capture the revert, trigger RCA, file follow-up tasks.
## Architecture
```
Periodic Check (hourly)
→ Query GitHub for recent reverts
→ Filter for AI-authored PRs (marked "Generated by @mbe/agent-core")
→ Match revert commit to original PR
→ Check if RCA issue already exists
→ If new revert: Create RCA issue + Trigger Reflection session
→ Track trend (reverts/day, patterns, root causes)
```
## Workflow
### Step 1: Detect Recent Reverts
Query the last 24 hours of commits on main for revert patterns:
```bash
# Find revert commits (last 24h)
git log --oneline --since="24 hours ago" --grep="^Revert" | head -20
```
Parse each revert commit:
- Extract original commit SHA or PR number from message: `Revert "feat: #1234 description"`
- Or: `Revert "title (#1234)"`
- Extract: `1234` (PR number)
For each potential revert:
```bash
# Get the reverted commit details
REVERT_COMMIT=$(git log -1 --format=%H --grep="^Revert" --since="24 hours ago")
ORIGINAL_COMMIT=$(git show $REVERT_COMMIT | grep -oP 'This reverts commit \K[0-9a-f]+' || echo "")
# Try to find the original PR from the commit message
PR_NUM=$(git log -1 --format=%B $REVERT_COMMIT | grep -oP '#\K[0-9]+' | head -1)
```
### Step 2: Verify PR is AI-Authored
For each potential revert:
```bash
# Check if the PR body co
