CI Orchestration

A workflow skill for checking and managing continuous integration (CI), the automated system that builds and tests code. It also handles preview links and common failed-check conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking CI status, waiting for checks, finding deployment preview URLs, retrying failed workflows, cancelling runs, and debugging failures.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to manually inspect GitHub checks, wait for results, or diagnose why an automated build failed.

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

CI Orchestration 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 2d ago.

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.

CI Orchestration

Comprehensive CI/CD workflow management with fail-fast error detection and preview URL extraction.

Purpose

CI Orchestration provides explicit control over GitHub Actions and other CI systems. Monitor check status, extract preview URLs, debug failures, and manage workflow retries with intelligent fail-fast patterns.

When to Use

  • Waiting for CI checks with real-time status
  • Extracting preview deployment URLs (Vercel, Netlify)
  • Debugging CI failures
  • Retrying failed workflows
  • Managing CI in complex workflows

Core Capabilities

Check CI Status

# Check PR status
gh pr checks 42

# Watch and wait
gh pr checks 42 --watch

# Get JSON output
gh pr view 42 --json statusCheckRollup

Extract Preview URLs

The existing ci-status.ts utility provides comprehensive preview URL extraction:

import { extractPreviewUrls } from '../shared/hooks/utils/ci-status.js';

// Extract from CI output
const urls = extractPreviewUrls(ciOutput);
// Returns: { web: 'https://...', marketing: 'https://...' }

Fail-Fast Patterns

# Wait with fail-fast
awaitCIWithFailFast "$PWD" 42 10  # 10 minute timeout

# Detects:
# - Merge conflicts
# - Branch divergence
# - Failed checks
# - Workflow errors

Retry Failed Checks

# Get latest workflow run
RUN_ID=$(gh run list --branch $(git branch --show-current) --limit 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId')

# Re-run failed jobs
gh run rerun $RUN_ID --failed

Integration with Hooks

Hook Behavior
await-pr-status Waits for CI after gh pr create
commit-task-await-ci-status Auto-commits and checks CI on SubagentStop
commit-session-await-ci-status Blocking CI check on Stop

Utilities

From ci-status.ts:

  • awaitCIWithFailFast(cwd, prNumber, timeout) - Wait with fail-fast
  • extractPreviewUrls(output) - Parse Vercel/Netlify URLs
  • getLatestCIRun(cwd, branch) - Get workflow run ID
  • formatCiChecksTable(checks) - Format as markdown table

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.

CI Orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository constellos/claude-code (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 958 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
