What problem does it solve?

Checking Buildkite CI status, especially for PRs or after a push, often leads to confusion about build states, inefficient log retrieval, or falling back to less informative GitHub tools. This skill provides a structured approach to monitoring and debugging Buildkite builds, saving you time and frustration.

Core Features & Use Cases

Comprehensive Build Investigation: Extracts build details from URLs, identifies failed jobs, and retrieves full job logs (critical for debugging) using Buildkite-native tools.
Post-Push Monitoring: Automatically finds and monitors builds for a specific commit, polling until completion and reporting the final status.
State Clarity & Fallback Hierarchy: Explains confusing Buildkite states (e.g., "broken" vs. "failed") and provides a clear hierarchy for tool usage, ensuring you always use the most effective Buildkite-native option.
