SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to diagnosing and resolving test failures that occur in remote Continuous Integration (CI) environments but do not appear during local development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact Analysis: Download and parse CI artifacts to inspect exact failure outputs.
  • Failure Categorization: Systematically group failures by root cause (e.g., encoding, dependencies, precision).
  • Iterative Debugging: Follow a loop of fixing, committing, pushing, and verifying fixes against CI.
  • Use Case: When a pull request fails on GitHub Actions due to an UnicodeEncodeError on Windows but passes on your local macOS machine, this Skill guides you through downloading the logs, identifying the encoding issue, and applying the correct fix.

Quick Start

Use the debug-remote-ci-failures skill to download artifacts from a failed CI run with ID '1234567890'.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug CI test failures that happen on remote environments but not locally?▼

Debug remote CI failures by downloading artifacts, parsing exact failure outputs, and categorizing root causes like encoding or dependency issues. This Skill guides an iterative fix, commit, push, and verify loop against the remote environment.

What is the best way to troubleshoot GitHub Actions failures across different operating systems?▼

Troubleshoot GitHub Actions failures by systematically analyzing CI artifacts and categorizing failures by root cause across multiple operating systems. This approach identifies environment-specific issues like UnicodeEncodeError on Windows that pass on macOS.

Do I need specific tools to retrieve CI artifacts and analyze test failure logs?▼

Yes, retrieving CI artifacts and analyzing test failure logs requires bash, git, gh CLI, Python 3.10+, and repository access. These tools enable automated artifact retrieval and systematic log analysis for remote debugging.

How do I categorize CI test failures by root cause when diagnosing remote errors?▼

Categorize CI test failures by downloading logs, parsing exact failure outputs, and grouping them by root cause such as encoding, dependencies, or precision. This systematic categorization guides targeted iterative fixes.

Can I use this workflow to download artifacts from a failed GitHub Actions run with a specific ID?▼

Yes, you can download artifacts from a failed GitHub Actions run using the specific run ID. The workflow retrieves the exact failure outputs from CI artifacts to begin the systematic debugging process.
