Introducing GitLab's agent orchestration for software development

This post introduces new agent orchestration capabilities within the GitLab Duo Agent Platform. It details goal-driven flows initiated via `/goal` commands in Duo CLI, which automate sequences of review, tests, and scans to achieve a defined objective. It also highlights GitLab for Slack integration, allowing users to initiate flows (e.g., fix a failing pipeline) directly from Slack conversations. Custom Flows are introduced as a way to define and automate multi-step sequences triggered by GitLab events. The post emphasizes that these flows run under the user's identity, policy, and evidence chain, maintaining governance. It also mentions the availability of foundational agents and the AI Catalog for extending capabilities.
