SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams identify the root causes of blocking job failures in OpenShift CI payloads by analyzing a history of recent payloads to determine when failures started and how they evolved.

Core Features & Use Cases

Look back across multiple payloads to establish failure streaks and identify origin payloads.
Correlate failures with PRs and fetch new PRs introduced in origin payloads for targeted investigation.
Launch parallel subagents to analyze each failed blocking job and produce structured results for scoring and potential revert actions.

Quick Start

Provide a payload tag to analyze and Claude will perform a full failure analysis, including lookback, PR correlation, and an HTML report.

FAQPage Schema

How do I find the root cause of blocking job failures in OpenShift CI payloads?▼

To find the root cause of payload failures, you analyze recent payload history to establish failure streaks and identify the originating payload. This process correlates failures with specific PRs to pinpoint the exact source of blocking job failures.

What is the best way to correlate PRs with CI payload failure streaks?▼

Correlating PRs with CI payload failure streaks involves looking back across multiple payloads to determine when failures started. The analysis fetches new PRs introduced in the origin payload to provide targeted investigation into the blocking job failures.

Can I analyze in-progress Ready payloads as well as final RC payloads?▼

You can analyze final RC payloads, Ready in-progress payloads, and Accepted payloads. Analyzing these different payload states helps determine failure patterns and identify originating payloads across the recent payload history.

How do I generate an HTML report for Prow payload failure analysis?▼

To generate an HTML report for payload failure analysis, provide a payload tag to initiate the process. The analysis launches parallel subagents for each failed blocking job, ultimately producing a YAML results file and an HTML report.

Does the payload analysis tool support parallel investigation of multiple failed jobs?▼

The payload analysis tool supports parallel investigation by launching parallel subagents to analyze each failed blocking job. This allows structured results to be produced efficiently for scoring and potential revert actions.
