Run gh pr checks to identify failed checks, then use gh pr view to access detailed information and logs. This accelerates debugging by retrieving failure details directly from the terminal.

You need GitHub CLI (gh) installed and configured with repository access. The Skill uses gh pr checks and gh pr view to parse statusCheckRollup data and retrieve check results.
