FAQPage Schema

How do I check if a GitHub pull request is ready to merge?▼

To check if a GitHub pull request is ready to merge, you need to analyze CI checks, required statuses, and merge blockers. This Skill reads PR metadata via the GitHub API to surface these issues and provides an actionable checklist for merge readiness.

How do I find CI failures and merge blockers in a GitHub PR?▼

You can find CI failures and merge blockers in a GitHub PR by inspecting the PR status and required checks. The validation workflow reads PR metadata to detect failed statuses and outputs a structured plan with concrete next steps to resolve them.

Can I list my assigned GitHub pull requests for quick validation?▼

Yes, you can list your assigned GitHub pull requests for quick validation. The Skill surfaces your open PRs for easy selection, allowing you to choose a specific PR by number or URL to trigger the validation and security signal analysis workflow.

Does validating a GitHub PR require GitHub authentication context?▼

Yes, validating a GitHub PR requires GitHub authentication context. The Skill reads PR metadata via the gh command line tool or GitHub API to inspect CI failures and security signals, meaning valid authentication is necessary to access the repository data.

What are the limitations of automated PR validation for security signals?▼

A limitation of automated PR validation is that it only detects potential security signals and dependency issues when available in the PR metadata. It surfaces these vulnerabilities alongside CI failures but does not perform deep, static code analysis beyond the data provided by the GitHub API.
