github:actions-monitor

github:actions-monitor is a skill for Claude Code from bendrucker/claude. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,056 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for watching GitHub Actions, GitHub's automated checks and build jobs, on a pull request, branch, or specific run. It tracks progress and retrieves logs when something fails.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor pull-request checks, branch builds, manually started workflows, or reruns. It can follow a run and collect diagnostics for failed jobs.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeatedly open GitHub and inspect changing checks by hand. It also helps locate failure details in the relevant workflow logs.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

github:actions-monitor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/watch.test.ts, scripts/watch.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Actions Monitor

Watch a PR, branch, or specific run's GitHub Actions progress and react to failures by pulling logs through the github:logs agent. The watch script handles state tracking and deduplication. This skill starts it, reacts to events, and stops it.

Target

$ARGUMENTS

  • A GitHub PR URL runs in PR mode. Owner and repo come from the URL, so PR mode works from any working directory.
  • A branch name runs in branch mode.
  • A run ID runs in run-id mode, watching a specific workflow run directly (covers workflow_dispatch, manual triggers, and re-runs).
  • No argument: derive the current PR with gh pr view --json url --jq '.url'. If the branch has no PR, fall back to branch mode with the current branch name.

Branch and run-id mode infer the repo from git remote get-url origin; pass --repo <owner/repo> to override.

Workflow

Start the monitor

Invoke Monitor with persistent: true on the watch script, with exactly one mode flag:

bun ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/watch.ts --pr <pr-url>
bun ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/watch.ts --branch <name> [--repo <owner/repo>]
bun ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/watch.ts --run-id <id> [--repo <owner/repo>]

Optional flags: --interval <seconds>, --max-minutes <N>, --queued-timeout <minutes>, --api-error-threshold <N>. Omit --interval to let the script derive one from recent run durations in PR/branch mode; run-id mode uses a 180s default.

Event schema

The script emits one JSON object per line on stdout:

  • {"type":"status","state":"running|failing|success","sha":"...","run_id":"..."}
  • {"type":"conflicts","sha":"..."} (PR mode only)
  • {"type":"mergeable-unknown","sha":"..."} (PR mode only)
  • {"type":"queued-timeout","minutes":N}
  • {"type":"api-error","consecutive":N}
  • {"type":"rate-limited","retry_after":"..."}
  • {"type":"pr-closed"} (PR mode only; also fires if the branch is deleted)
  • {"type":"merged"} (PR mode only)
  • {"type":"max-time-reached","minutes":60}

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
