Gh Pr Checks Plan Fix

Overview

Use gh to locate failing PR checks, fetch GitHub Actions logs for actionable failures, summarize the failure snippet, then propose a fix plan and implement after explicit approval.

• If a plan-oriented skill (for example

  create-plan

  ) is available, use it; otherwise draft a concise plan inline and request approval before implementing.

Prereq: authenticate with the standard GitHub CLI once (for example, run

gh auth login

), then confirm with

gh auth status

(repo + workflow scopes are typically required).

Inputs

• repo

  : path inside the repo (default

  .

  )

• pr

  : PR number or URL (optional; defaults to current branch PR)

• gh

  authentication for the repo host

Quick start

• python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number-or-url>"

• Add

  --json

  if you want machine-friendly output for summarization.

Workflow

1. Verify gh authentication.
   • Run

     gh auth status

     in the repo.
   • If unauthenticated, ask the user to run

     gh auth login

     (ensuring repo + workflow scopes) before proceeding.
2. Resolve the PR.
   • Prefer the current branch PR:

     gh pr view --json number,url

     .
   • If the user provides a PR number or URL, use that directly.
3. Inspect failing checks (GitHub Actions only).
   • Preferred: run the bundled script (handles gh field drift and job-log fallbacks):

     • python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "<number-or-url>"

     • Add

       --json

       for machine-friendly output.
   • Manual fallback:

     • gh pr checks <pr> --json name,state,bucket,link,startedAt,completedAt,workflow

       • If a field is rejected, rerun with the available fields reported by

         gh

         .
     • For each failing check, extract the run id from

       detailsUrl

       and run:

       • gh run view <run_id> --json name,workflowName,conclusion,status,url,event,headBranch,headSha

       • gh run view <run_id> --log

     • If the run log says it is still in progress, fetch job logs directly:

       • gh api "/repos/<owner>/<repo>/actions/jobs/<job_id>/logs" > "<path>"

4. Scope non-GitHub Actions checks.
   • If

     detailsUrl

     is not a GitHub Actions run, label it as external and only report the URL.
   • Do not attempt Buildkite or other providers; keep the workflow lean.
5. Summarize failures for the user.
   • Provide the failing check name, run URL (if any), and a concise log snippet.
   • Call out missing logs explicitly.
6. Create a plan.
   • Use the

     create-plan

     skill to draft a concise plan and request approval.
7. Implement after approval.
   • Apply the approved plan, summarize diffs/tests, and ask about opening a PR.
8. Recheck status.
   • After changes, suggest re-running the relevant tests and

     gh pr checks

     to confirm.

Bundled Resources

scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py

Fetch failing PR checks, pull GitHub Actions logs, and extract a failure snippet. Exits non-zero when failures remain so it can be used in automation.

Usage examples:

• python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "123"

• python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "https://github.com/org/repo/pull/123" --json

• python "<path-to-skill>/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --max-lines 200 --context 40
