What Happens When Your Entire Operations Stack Is Just Markdown?

Hackernoon (2026)

Abstract

This article presents a novel approach to automating operations tasks, particularly incident triage, by using AI agents defined entirely in Markdown. These agents orchestrate actions across various observability tools (e.g., Datadog, Splunk) and use the file system for state and communication, mimicking the Unix philosophy. The system enables parallel investigations, cross-tool validation, and structured reporting without traditional coding frameworks.
