Do I need the gh CLI installed to track GitHub workflow runs?▼

Yes, you need the gh CLI installed and authenticated access to the target repository to track GitHub workflow runs. The Skill relies on this CLI environment to monitor executions and diagnose CI failures.

What is the best way to diagnose failing GitHub Actions workflows locally?▼

The best way to diagnose failing GitHub Actions workflows locally is querying workflow runs through the GitHub API. This Skill retrieves recent executions and pinpoints broken steps for fast repository automation troubleshooting.

How does command line GitHub API querying compare to using the web interface?▼

Command line GitHub API querying removes browser friction by applying CLI operations to PR reviews, issue tracking, and CI inspection. It returns structured data directly in your terminal for faster repository interactions.
