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.
2. Run gh auth status in the repo.
3. If unauthenticated, ask the user to run gh auth login (ensuring repo + workflow scopes) before proceeding.
4. Resolve the PR.
5. Prefer the current branch PR: gh pr view --json number,url.
6. If the user provides a PR number or URL, use that directly.
7. Inspect failing checks (GitHub Actions only).
8. 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.
9. 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>"
10. Scope non-GitHub Actions checks.
11. If detailsUrl is not a GitHub Actions run, label it as external and only report the URL.
12. Do not attempt Buildkite or other providers; keep the workflow lean.
13. Summarize failures for the user.
14. Provide the failing check name, run URL (if any), and a concise log snippet.
15. Call out missing logs explicitly.
16. Create a plan.
17. Use the create-plan skill to draft a concise plan and request approval.
18. Implement after approval.
19. Apply the approved plan, summarize diffs/tests, and ask about opening a PR.
20. Recheck status.
21. 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
