Fix CI Issues Command
Briefly tell the user you are using the fci skill before starting work,
so they know which workflow is running.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
Fix all CI pipeline failures blocking the PR merge while maintaining code quality and test integrity.
SCOPE
- Supports the project CI pipeline as configured in the repository
- If
$ARGUMENTS specifies a workflow outside the project scope, inform the user and suggest manual investigation
CONTEXT & CONSTRAINTS
- CI pipeline failed during merge attempt to main branch
- Must resolve all failures without compromising code quality
- Preserve existing test coverage and validation logic
- CI includes: {{LINT_CMD}}, {{TEST_CMD}}, {{BUILD_CMD}}, and any project-specific checks
- Do not silence CI with
any, @ts-ignore, // eslint-disable, or
architectural shortcuts — the goal is a real fix, not a green checkmark.
If a suppression is genuinely correct (e.g. a .d.ts shim), flag it
explicitly so the reviewer can confirm.
- Follow project architecture rules (see coding-conventions skill)
RELATED SKILLS
/dbg - Runtime bugs requiring instrumentation and evidence gathering
/sr - Post-fix code review before re-attempting merge
/prc - Addressing reviewer comments on the PR
ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS
-
Identify CI Failures:
- Run
gh workflow list if you are unsure of the workflow name.
- Run
gh run list --limit=3 to check recent CI status.
- Pick the most recent failing run and review its logs with
gh run view <run-id> --log. Don't fetch logs for older runs unless
the recent-run failures are ambiguous.
- Categorize failures by type (linting, tests, types, build, other).
-
Execute Diagnostic Checks (run in parallel):
- These commands are independent — batch them in one turn as parallel
Bash tool calls, do not chain sequentially.
- Ensure dependencies are installed first (sequential prerequisite).
- Then in parallel:
{{LINT_CMD}}, {{TYPECHECK_CMD}}, {{TEST_CMD}},
{{BUILD_CMD}}.
- Collect all failure logs before choosing where to start fixing —
don't stop at the first red check.
RESOLUTION PROCESS
Scope discipline: fix only what the failing CI checks require. Do not
refactor nearby code, rename symbols for consistency, tighten unrelated
types, or add defensive error handling that wasn't failing. If you spot
adjacent problems, note them in the handoff summary — don't fix them in
this PR.
-
Formatting (only if lint reported style violations):
- Skip this step entirely if formatting is clean.
- Otherwise run
{{FORMAT_CMD}}, then re-run lint to confirm the
formatter didn't introduce new issues.
-
Address Type Errors:
- Resolve typing errors surfaced by lint/test/typecheck output
- Add precise typings rather than suppressing warnings
-
Resolve Test Failures:
- Fix failing tests by correcting the implementation bug the test is
catching — the test is a spec, so weakening assertions to turn the
check green hides the real defect.
- Maintain or improve test coverage (>=80% target). If a test is
genuinely wrong (e.g. asserts outdated behavior), update it and
explicitly flag the change in the handoff summary.
-
Fix Linting Issues:
- Address linter violations
- Update tests/fixtures when necessary rather than suppressing rules
-
Security Issues:
- Address any dependency vulnerability findings that surface during investigation
-
Build Issues:
- Ensure build succeeds
- Fix any import or runtime errors
VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Before completion, run the full CI validation suite locally and confirm
every command exits zero:
{{LINT_CMD}} && \
{{TYPECHECK_CMD}} && \
{{TEST_CMD}} && \
{{BUILD_CMD}}
Optional additional checks (if relevant jobs are failing):
{{COVERAGE_CMD}}
TROUBLESHOOTING
gh auth failure: Run gh auth status; prompt user to run gh auth login if needed
- Docker not running: Run
docker info; inform user to start Docker Desktop
- DB connection refused: Verify test database is running; check port conflicts
- Language version mismatch: Check version files (
.nvmrc, .tool-versions, etc.) and use appropriate version manager
