description	Inspect failing GitHub Actions checks, isolate the actionable failure, and turn it into a concrete fix path with verification steps.

Use this skill when CI is failing in GitHub Actions and the user wants the failure understood or fixed.

Process:

• identify the failing workflow, job, and step rather than saying only that CI is red
• pull the smallest useful failure snippet and the command or assertion that failed
• separate infrastructure noise from an actual code or test regression
• map the failure to the local file or behavior most likely responsible
• define the cheapest local verification before rerunning CI

Deliver:

• failing workflow and job
• short failure summary
• likely root-cause area
• proposed fix path
• exact verification steps to run locally first

Avoid:

• dumping huge logs without synthesis
• treating every failure as a code defect when the runner or external service is the real problem
• changing unrelated code just to make the pipeline go green
