Skill profile
gh-fix-ci
Inspects failing PR checks with gh, fetches the GitHub Actions logs, summarizes the failure, then proposes a fix plan and implements it only after explicit approval.
What it actually does
- Uses `gh` to inspect failing PR checks and fetch the GitHub Actions logs, summarizes the failure, then proposes a fix plan and implements it only after explicit approval.
- Treats non-Actions CI providers (e.g. Buildkite) as explicitly out of scope — it reports the details URL rather than pretending to handle them.
When to use it — and when not to
Use it when
- A PR's GitHub Actions checks are failing and you want a triaged fix plan before anything gets changed.
Not for
- Your CI runs on a non-GitHub-Actions provider — it names this limitation itself rather than silently failing.
The caveat that matters
It references an optional `create-plan` skill that lived in the catalog's now-removed `.experimental` folder — that specific collaboration point no longer resolves.
Agent compatibility
- Codex
Confirmed means the skill’s own source or vendor states it works with that agent. Portable means it only reaches that agent through the shared SKILL.md format and a directory convention — real, but a weaker claim. An agent with no entry here isn’t known to be unsupported; it simply isn’t documented either way, so nothing is claimed. Full model on Agent Skills Compatibility.
Requirements and operational surface
Depends on
- gh CLI
- GitHub Actions
What it actually does at runtime
- Executes `gh` CLI commands
- Reads GitHub Actions logs over the network
- Writes code changes only after your explicit approval
Workflow fit
Failing CI → triage → fix plan (approval gate) → implementation.
