Augmentcode Engineering Ops Retainer Build (7-10 days)

Stand up a client-facing engineering operations retainer around Augmentcode Cosmos, wiring code review, test coverage, incident triage, and ticket-to-PR agents into a client's GitHub, Jira, Slack, and PagerDuty stack. Built for agencies whose clients carry real DevOps load, not SMB marketing retainers. Time: 7-10 days.

Blueprint

Augmentcode Engineering Ops Retainer Build (7-10 days)

Stand up a client-facing engineering operations retainer around Augmentcode Cosmos, wiring code review, test coverage, incident triage, and ticket-to-PR agents into a client's GitHub, Jira, Slack, and PagerDuty stack. Built for agencies whose clients carry real DevOps load, not SMB marketing retainers.

Prerequisites
  • Client grants admin access to their GitHub organization plus Jira, Slack, and PagerDuty workspaces so Cosmos agents can be authorized across all four
  • A named engineering owner on the client side who can approve human-in-the-loop policies and review agent-generated pull requests
  • Agency delivery lead with working knowledge of the client's CI/CD toolchain and repository branching model
  • Business plan seats provisioned (up to 50 seats included at $100/month) sized to the client's active developer count
  • A baseline snapshot of current PR review turnaround, test coverage percentage, and incident response time to measure against later
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Inventory the client's repositories and rank them by PR volume and incident frequency to pick the first Cosmos deployment target
  • 2.Map which of the client's systems connect to GitHub, Jira, Slack, and PagerDuty and confirm each integration path
  • 1.Provision the Augmentcode Business plan and assign seats to the client's developers within the 50-seat allowance
  • 2.Connect the GitHub organization and verify the Context Engine indexes the primary repository structure correctly
  • 1.Configure the code review expert on the highest-traffic repository and set human-in-the-loop policy so agent comments require developer acknowledgment
  • 2.Run a parallel review week where agent output is compared against human reviewer findings
  • 1.Deploy the test coverage agent against one core application module and record the coverage delta from baseline
  • 2.Wire CLI access into the client's existing CI/CD pipeline so agent checks run on every build
  • 1.Connect Jira and enable the ticket-to-PR expert on a backlog of small, well-scoped tickets
  • 2.Set escalation rules so tickets the agent cannot resolve route back to a named engineer
  • 1.Link PagerDuty and Slack so the incident management agent triages alerts before on-call engineers are paged
  • 2.Define which incident severities the agent may investigate autonomously versus which page a human immediately
  • 1.Enable the security remediation expert against Dependabot and Snyk findings on the connected repositories
  • 2.Review the first batch of agent-generated remediation PRs with the client's engineering owner
  • 1.Measure token consumption against the 33% Context Engine reduction claim and adjust repository scope if costs run high
  • 2.Tune agent permissions down where the parallel review week showed over-triggering
  • 1.Draft the runbook covering agent configuration, escalation policies, and seat management for the client's team
  • 2.Hand off admin access and walk the client's engineering lead through the Cosmos dashboard
  • 1.Present the before-and-after metrics on PR turnaround, coverage, and incident triage time
  • 2.Agree the monthly retainer scope: which agents stay active, who owns tuning, and the review cadence
$100/month for the Business plan covering up to 50 seats, plus agency delivery time of roughly 60-80 hours across the 7-10 day build. Enterprise pricing is custom and quoted on contact, so multi-team clients with SSO, OIDC, SCIM, or CMEK requirements need a sales quote before scoping.7-10 days
ROI Logic

The Business plan at $100/month for up to 50 seats means the tool cost is a rounding error against a development retainer, so margin comes almost entirely from the agency's configuration and tuning hours. The 33% token cost reduction from the Context Engine protects that margin on high-volume repositories where agent runs would otherwise scale with PR count. Bundle this into a larger development contract rather than selling it standalone, because a $100/month platform cannot carry its own retainer line.

Deliverables
  • Configured Cosmos deployment covering code review, test coverage, ticket-to-PR, incident management, and security remediation agents across the client's connected repositories
  • Human-in-the-loop policy document defining which agent actions require developer approval and which run autonomously
  • CI/CD integration record showing CLI access wired into the client's build pipeline
  • Before-and-after metrics report on PR review turnaround, test coverage, and incident triage time
  • Operations runbook covering agent tuning, seat management, and escalation paths for the client's engineering team
Definition of Done

The client's engineering team is running at least three Cosmos agents in production across GitHub, Jira, and PagerDuty with documented human-in-the-loop policies, and the agency holds a signed retainer covering ongoing agent tuning.
