Handle Git changes, conflicts, history recovery, and collaboration with repository-aware safety checks.

gh-fix-ci
Inspect failing PR checks, summarize GitHub Actions logs, and plan fixes before making approved changes.
What it does
Diagnose failing GitHub Actions checks on a pull request with GitHub CLI data and logs. It resolves a PR from its number, URL, or the current branch, reports check names, run URLs, and concise failure snippets, then drafts a fix plan for approval before changing code. External CI providers are identified only by their details URL.
When to use it
- Debugging failed GitHub Actions checks on a PR
- Extracting concise failure snippets from workflow logs
- Planning a CI fix before editing code
- Rechecking PR status after approved changes
The skill document
Gh Pr Checks Plan Fix
Overview
Use gh to locate failing PR checks, fetch GitHub Actions logs for actionable failures, summarize the failure snippet, then propose a fix plan and implement after explicit approval.
- If a plan-oriented skill (for example
create-plan) is available, use it; otherwise draft a concise plan inline and request approval before implementing.
Prereq: authenticate with the standard GitHub CLI once (for example, run gh auth login), then confirm with gh auth status (repo + workflow scopes are typically required).
Inputs
repo: path inside the repo (default.)pr: PR number or URL (optional; defaults to current branch PR)ghauthentication for the repo host
Quick start
python "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr ""- Add
--jsonif you want machine-friendly output for summarization.
Workflow
- Verify gh authentication.
- Run
gh auth statusin the repo. - If unauthenticated, ask the user to run
gh auth login(ensuring repo + workflow scopes) before proceeding.
- Run
- Resolve the PR.
- Prefer the current branch PR:
gh pr view --json number,url. - If the user provides a PR number or URL, use that directly.
- Prefer the current branch PR:
- Inspect failing checks (GitHub Actions only).
- Preferred: run the bundled script (handles gh field drift and job-log fallbacks):
python "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr ""- Add
--jsonfor machine-friendly output.
- Manual fallback:
gh pr checks --json name,state,bucket,link,startedAt,completedAt,workflow- If a field is rejected, rerun with the available fields reported by
gh.
- If a field is rejected, rerun with the available fields reported by
- For each failing check, extract the run id from
detailsUrland run:gh run view --json name,workflowName,conclusion,status,url,event,headBranch,headShagh run view --log
- If the run log says it is still in progress, fetch job logs directly:
gh api "/repos///actions/jobs//logs" > ""
- Preferred: run the bundled script (handles gh field drift and job-log fallbacks):
- Scope non-GitHub Actions checks.
- If
detailsUrlis not a GitHub Actions run, label it as external and only report the URL. - Do not attempt Buildkite or other providers; keep the workflow lean.
- If
- Summarize failures for the user.
- Provide the failing check name, run URL (if any), and a concise log snippet.
- Call out missing logs explicitly.
- Create a plan.
- Use the
create-planskill to draft a concise plan and request approval.
- Use the
- Implement after approval.
- Apply the approved plan, summarize diffs/tests, and ask about opening a PR.
- Recheck status.
- After changes, suggest re-running the relevant tests and
gh pr checksto confirm.

scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py
Fetch failing PR checks, pull GitHub Actions logs, and extract a failure snippet. Exits non-zero when failures remain so it can be used in automation.
Usage examples:
python "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "123"python "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "https://github.com/org/repo/pull/123" --jsonpython "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --max-lines 200 --context 40
Questions people ask
- What setup is required before inspecting a PR?
- Authenticate the standard GitHub CLI with `gh auth login`, then verify access using `gh auth status` in the repository. Repository and workflow scopes are typically required.
- Can it inspect checks outside GitHub Actions?
- No. Checks from Buildkite or other external providers are labeled as external, and only their details URL is reported.
- Will it modify code as soon as it finds a failure?
- No. It first summarizes the failing check and available log evidence, drafts a concise fix plan, and waits for explicit approval before implementation.
