gh-fix-ci
Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing GitHub PR checks that run in GitHub Actions; use `gh` to inspect checks and logs, summarize failure context, draft a fix plan, and implement only after explicit approval. Treat external providers (for example Buildkite) as out of scope and report only the details URL.
Best use case
gh-fix-ci is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing GitHub PR checks that run in GitHub Actions; use `gh` to inspect checks and logs, summarize failure context, draft a fix plan, and implement only after explicit approval. Treat external providers (for example Buildkite) as out of scope and report only the details URL.
Teams using gh-fix-ci should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Gh Pr Checks Plan Fix
## Overview
Use gh to locate failing PR checks, fetch GitHub Actions logs for actionable failures, summarize the failure snippet, then propose a fix plan and implement after explicit approval.
- If a plan-oriented skill (for example `create-plan`) is available, use it; otherwise draft a concise plan inline and request approval before implementing.
Prereq: authenticate with the standard GitHub CLI once (for example, run `gh auth login`), then confirm with `gh auth status` (repo + workflow scopes are typically required).
## Inputs
- `repo`: path inside the repo (default `.`)
- `pr`: PR number or URL (optional; defaults to current branch PR)
- `gh` authentication for the repo host
## Quick start
- `python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number-or-url>"`
- Add `--json` if you want machine-friendly output for summarization.
## Workflow
1. Verify gh authentication.
- Run `gh auth status` in the repo.
- If unauthenticated, ask the user to run `gh auth login` (ensuring repo + workflow scopes) before proceeding.
2. Resolve the PR.
- Prefer the current branch PR: `gh pr view --json number,url`.
- If the user provides a PR number or URL, use that directly.
3. Inspect failing checks (GitHub Actions only).
- Preferred: run the bundled script (handles gh field drift and job-log fallbacks):
- `python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number-or-url>"`
- Add `--json` for machine-friendly output.
- Manual fallback:
- `gh pr checks <pr> --json name,state,bucket,link,startedAt,completedAt,workflow`
- If a field is rejected, rerun with the available fields reported by `gh`.
- For each failing check, extract the run id from `detailsUrl` and run:
- `gh run view <run_id> --json name,workflowName,conclusion,status,url,event,headBranch,headSha`
- `gh run view <run_id> --log`
- If the run log says it is still in progress, fetch job logs directly:
- `gh api "/repos/<owner>/<repo>/actions/jobs/<job_id>/logs" > "<path>"`
4. Scope non-GitHub Actions checks.
- If `detailsUrl` is not a GitHub Actions run, label it as external and only report the URL.
- Do not attempt Buildkite or other providers; keep the workflow lean.
5. Summarize failures for the user.
- Provide the failing check name, run URL (if any), and a concise log snippet.
- Call out missing logs explicitly.
6. Create a plan.
- Use the `create-plan` skill to draft a concise plan and request approval.
7. Implement after approval.
- Apply the approved plan, summarize diffs/tests, and ask about opening a PR.
8. Recheck status.
- After changes, suggest re-running the relevant tests and `gh pr checks` to confirm.
## Bundled Resources
### scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py
Fetch failing PR checks, pull GitHub Actions logs, and extract a failure snippet. Exits non-zero when failures remain so it can be used in automation.
Usage examples:
- `python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "123"`
- `python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "https://github.com/org/repo/pull/123" --json`
- `python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --max-lines 200 --context 40`Related Skills
