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.

1. 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.

1. 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>"

1. 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.

1. Summarize failures for the user.

- Provide the failing check name, run URL (if any), and a concise log snippet. - Call out missing logs explicitly.

1. Create a plan.

- Use the create-plan skill to draft a concise plan and request approval.

1. Implement after approval.

- Apply the approved plan, summarize diffs/tests, and ask about opening a PR.

1. Recheck status.

- After changes, suggest re-running the relevant tests and gh pr checks to confirm.

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
