github-ci-fix

github-ci-fix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from patrickserrano/lacquer. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,975 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for investigating failed GitHub pull-request checks and broken GitHub Actions workflows. GitHub Actions is GitHub’s system for running automated builds and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when continuous integration is failing to inspect checks and logs, identify the likely cause, test for flakiness, and prepare a repair plan.
Why use it?
It organizes authentication checks, log inspection, flaky-test checks, and failure scoping before a fix is planned.

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-ci-fix 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 23d 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.

GitHub CI Fix

Overview

Systematic workflow for debugging failing PR checks using gh CLI. Identifies GitHub Actions failures with logs, scopes external checks (Buildkite, etc.) as out-of-scope, then uses existing plan workflow for fixes.

Prerequisites

gh auth status  # Required scopes: repo, workflow

STOP if unauthenticated: gh auth login --scopes repo,workflow

Quick Reference

Task Command
Find current PR gh pr view --json number,url
Inspect PR status (snapshot only) gh pr checks <pr>
Wait for CI lacquer wait pr <N>
View run details gh run view <run-id>
Get failed logs gh run view <run-id> --log-failed
Full run log gh run view <run-id> --log
Recent runs for this check gh run list --workflow <name> --branch <branch> --json conclusion,headSha,createdAt -L 20
Rerun without code changes (flakiness probe) gh run rerun <run-id> --failed

Workflow

1. Verify Auth → 2. Find PR → 3. Inspect

gh auth status  # If fails: ask user to authenticate
gh pr view --json number,url  # Or use user-provided PR number
gh pr checks <pr>  # Shows check name, status, details URL

4. Scope: GitHub Actions vs External

GitHub Actions (detailsUrl has /actions/runs/): Pull logs, extract snippets, fix External CI (Buildkite, CircleCI): Report URL only, request user to share logs

STOP: Do not attempt external CI log access.

4.5. Flaky or Real? Scope the Breaking Commit

Before treating a failure as a bug to fix, rule out flakiness — a fix for a flaky test is a wasted diagnosis, and a "fix" that just happens to make a flaky test pass on the next run isn't actually verified.

Flakiness probe:

gh run rerun <run-id> --failed   # same commit, no code change
lacquer wait pr <N>  # Wait for the rerun, then inspect its outcome

If it now passes with nothing changed, it's flaky — report that (test name, run URL, "passed on rerun with no changes") rather than diagnosing a bug that isn't there. Don't silently move on either: a flaky check is still worth flagging to the user, since it can mask a real failure next time.

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.
