debug-ci-failures

Debug CircleCI pipeline failures by checking the latest pipeline status to identify failing workflows and jobs, then retrieve build failure logs to pinpoint the specific errors. This triage approach reduces time-to-resolution by inspecting statuses before pulling heavy logs.

Find flaky tests in your CircleCI build by using flaky test discovery tools that flag intermittent failures across pipeline runs. The skill identifies likely flaky tests and suggests remediation steps, including rerunning workflows from the failed job.

You can extract failed test results from CircleCI by fetching focused failed test outputs that include stack traces and durations. This applies to scenarios where you need to inspect specific job errors or broken workflows after code changes.

Rerun a CircleCI workflow from the failed job after diagnosing the root cause of the failure. The skill identifies failing pipelines, analyzes failure logs and test results, then suggests rerunning the workflow from the specific failed job as a remediation path.

CircleCI debugging supports project identification via git remote or branch names, as well as user-provided CircleCI URLs. This allows the debugging process to locate your pipeline status, failure logs, and test results regardless of how you reference the project.

Your CircleCI build may be failing due to broken workflows, specific job errors, or flaky test behavior after code changes. Diagnose the cause by inspecting pipeline statuses, logs, and test results to determine whether tests are flaky and get back to green builds.
