woodpecker-investigating-pipelines

woodpecker-investigating-pipelines is a skill for Claude Code from technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins. It costs 88 tokens per session (637 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for investigating Woodpecker CI pipelines, which automatically build and test code after changes. It uses a command-line snapshot to show the pipeline state, each step, and the first failed step's log tail.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps investigate failed, missing, or unclear pipeline results for a commit, pull request, pipeline number, or pipeline URL.
Why use it?
A forge status may only say that CI failed, while the Woodpecker web interface or API may not be available to the agent. The snapshot identifies the actual state and the earliest useful error.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

woodpecker-investigating-pipelines 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 21d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Investigating Woodpecker pipelines

Woodpecker's web UI and REST API need a login Claude doesn't have, and a forge status only says "failed". woodpecker-snapshot drives woodpecker-cli (already logged in) and prints one block: the pipeline's state, every step's state, and the first failed step's log tail.

Run it

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/woodpecker-snapshot" [REF] [--pr N | --sha SHA] [--repo owner/name] [--tail N]
Input Looks up
nothing the pipeline for the current commit (repo from the git remote)
--pr N or --sha SHA the pipeline for that commit (needs gh for --pr)
a number that pipeline number
a pipeline URL the repo ID and number in it

Exit 0 means a state was reported, including failed. Exit 2 means it couldn't read Woodpecker; the State: line says why.

Read the State line first

The first line is always State: <state>. Report that state, not a guess from the forge status.

State Do this
failed Read the log tail for the first failure. Later skipped steps are fallout. If the tail cuts off before the error, rerun with a larger --tail.
passed Mention any "failed but ignored" warning. It means a step fails on every run.
running, queued, blocked Say so and stop. Don't call it passed or failed. blocked needs approval in the Woodpecker UI, which is the user's step.
no pipeline Never read this as passing. Go through the listed causes. A silent webhook outage looks exactly like this.
not set up, unauthorized The login is the user's step (it stores a token in the system keychain, which a command sandbox may block). Show the printed fix and see references/setup.md.
unreachable Says nothing about the code. If the sandbox blocked the host, the printed fix is an allowlist entry.
unknown Show the raw status or error as printed. Don't interpret it.

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.
