investigate-ci-reliability

investigate-ci-reliability is a skill for Claude Code from openshift-eng/ai-helpers. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,561 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for investigating reliability problems in OpenShift release and presubmit jobs. It checks failed runs independently and exports issue handoffs containing only fixes that were confirmed to apply.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a defined set of OpenShift CI runs, validate failure causes, and produce an issues directory with verified fixes.
Why use it?
It helps separate real, reproducible CI defects from misleading or outdated failures before fixes are handed off.

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

investigate-ci-reliability 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/collect_runs.py, scripts/prow_artifacts.py, scripts/reliability.py, …), 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CI reliability investigation

Investigate actual failed job runs, demonstrate the underlying defects, and deliver an issues/ directory containing only independently validated, currently applicable fixes. This package contains its own collectors, review contract, and exporter. Use the prow-job-analysis skill from the ci plugin for failed-job debugging; no prior investigation repository is required.

Inputs and defaults

  • release: required OpenShift release, inferred from the request when stated.
  • Window: last 24 hours, frozen at collection start; explicit UTC start/end supported.
  • Scope: all jobs in the release plus presubmits. Presubmits are the separate Sippy Presubmits population, not implicitly restricted to merged PRs or that release.
  • Optional scope: release-only, presubmit-only, or verified payload-blocking runs. Optional exact job, job substring, and variant filters narrow either population.
  • max-issues: 10 distinct validated mechanisms, a ceiling rather than a quota.
  • max-candidates: 100; time-budget-minutes: 120; max-agents: 4. These bound exploration, including review. Honor smaller user limits.
  • Workspace/output: user-selected paths, otherwise ~/tmp/ci-reliability/<UTC timestamp> and its validated/ subdirectory. Scratch defaults to ~/tmp/ci-reliability. Keep raw downloads bounded and separate from curated handoff evidence.

Invoke /investigate-ci-reliability 5.1 --max-issues 10 directly. The skill accepts these inputs in natural language or flags. Resolve bundled script paths relative to this SKILL.md, regardless of cwd. The bundled scripts need Python 3.10+ and public HTTPS access. JUnit parsing requires Expat 2.7.2+ in that Python runtime. The investigation also requires the prow-job-analysis skill from the ci plugin.

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.
