What problem does it solve?
Failing GitHub Actions checks block pull requests and releases, and finding the root cause requires digging through workflow files, job logs, and scripts. This Skill provides a structured workflow to identify the failing workflow, job, and step, reproduce the failure locally, and fix the root cause instead of masking symptoms.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Failure Triage: Identify the exact failing workflow, job, and step using GitHub metadata and repository inspection.
- Local Reproduction: Reproduce CI failures locally where feasible to validate hypotheses before committing fixes.
- Root-Cause Fixes: Inspect workflow files, scripts, jq filters, and code paths to fix the smallest root cause, then re-run targeted validation.
- Use Case: A release job fails on a pull request. Use this Skill to trace the failing step, reproduce it locally, patch the workflow or script, and confirm the fix with targeted validation.
Quick Start
Investigate why the GitHub Actions checks are failing on my pull request and fix the root cause.
