SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you reliably monitor pull request CI checks and iteratively address failing build/test jobs until the PR is fully green.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CI status truth from PR-attached checks: Uses gh pr checks to reflect the full set of checks attached to the PR, not just GitHub Actions runs.
  • Failure-first diagnosis loop: Prioritizes diagnosing already-failed checks before waiting on pending ones, then repeats after each change.
  • Flake-aware retry guardrails: Retries once for flaky failures and reports flake evidence instead of blindly spamming fixes.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to monitor the active pull request's checks with gh pr checks, diagnose any failures, apply scoped fixes, and keep iterating until all required checks are green.
