SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Mergify configuration errors often cause unexpected pull request workflow failures, requiring time-consuming trial-and-error debugging to resolve, and testing config changes directly in production risks disrupting team merge workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Configuration Validation: Check Mergify YAML files against the official JSON schema to catch syntax and rule errors before they break CI or merge processes.
  • Action Simulation: Test how your Mergify rules will behave on real pull requests using a local config file, no production changes required.
  • Guided Config Authoring: Get up-to-date, documentation-backed support for creating or editing Mergify rules for merge queues, protections, and custom automations. For example, if your team is rolling out a merge queue, use this Skill to validate your queue rule configuration and simulate its behavior on test PRs to ensure it works as expected before enabling it for the whole team.

Quick Start

Use the mergify-config skill to validate your current .mergify.yml file and simulate how it will handle pull request #42 from your team's repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate Mergify configuration files before pushing to production?

Validate Mergify configuration files by checking your YAML against the official JSON schema to catch syntax and rule errors before they break CI or merge processes. This prevents unexpected pull request workflow failures without risking production disruptions.

Can I simulate Mergify workflow actions on a pull request without changing production?

Yes, you can simulate Mergify workflow actions on real pull requests using a local config file. This tests how your rules will behave on actual PRs without requiring any production changes or disrupting team merge workflows.

What is the best way to test merge queue rules before enabling them for my team?

Testing merge queue rules involves validating your queue configuration against the official schema and simulating its behavior on test PRs. This ensures your merge queue works as expected before rolling it out to the whole team.

Why does my Mergify config cause unexpected pull request workflow failures?

Mergify config errors cause unexpected pull request workflow failures due to syntax or rule issues. Validating your YAML against the official JSON schema catches these errors before they break CI or merge processes, avoiding time-consuming trial-and-error debugging.

How does Mergify config validation ensure my rules use supported syntax?

Mergify config validation ensures supported syntax by fetching current official Mergify documentation. This guarantees generated and edited configurations align with available actions, condition attributes, and supported syntax for merge queues and protections.
