gh-fix-ci

name	gh-fix-ci
description	Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing GitHub PR checks that run in GitHub Actions; use `oai_gh` or `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.

GH Fix CI

Overview

Use oai_gh when available, otherwise 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 GitHub CLI once, then confirm auth with oai_gh auth status when available or gh auth status otherwise (repo + workflow scopes are typically required).

Inputs

• repo: path inside the repo (default .)
• pr: PR number or URL (optional; defaults to current branch PR)
• oai_gh or 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.
   • Prefer oai_gh auth status in the repo when oai_gh exists; otherwise run gh auth status.
   • If unauthenticated or neither CLI exists, ask the user to install/authenticate (oai_gh auth login or gh auth login) 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
