- StarSling is not a new CI syntax. It runs existing GitHub Actions workflows by replacing the runner label, such as
ubuntu-latest, with a StarSling runner label. - How is StarSling different from GitHub-hosted runners?
- StarSling Runners are a drop-in replacement for GitHub-hosted
ubuntu-latestandubuntu-24.04on faster hardware, plus AI agents that analyze your workflows and open optimization PRs. GitHub-hosted runners only execute jobs; they do not optimize your pipeline. - What makes StarSling AI-native?
- StarSling agents analyze workflows, logs, and telemetry and open PRs that optimize caching, installs, parallelization, test sharding, and workflow structure.
