Gh Fix Ci

Fix Failing CI Checks

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

Prerequisites

Verify gh authentication before doing anything else:

gh auth status

If unauthenticated, ask the user to run gh auth login (repo + workflow scopes required), then stop.

Workflow

1. Resolve the PR

# if the user specified a PR number or URL:
gh pr view  --json number,url,headRefName

# otherwise (current branch):
gh pr view --json number,url,headRefName

Extract owner and repo from the returned url field — PR URLs have the form https://github.com///pull/, so split on / to get the 4th and 5th segments. These are the base (target) repository coordinates where GitHub Actions checks run, and are reliable even for cross-fork PRs.

2. Inspect failing checks

gh pr checks  -R / --json name,state,bucket,link,startedAt,completedAt,workflow

If a field is rejected, rerun with the available fields reported by gh. Scope only to GitHub Actions checks. If link is not a GitHub Actions run URL, label it as external, report the URL only, and do not investigate further (e.g. Buildkite, CircleCI are out of scope).

3. Fetch failure logs

For each failing GitHub Actions check:

1. Extract the run ID from link (the numeric segment in the URL).
2. Fetch run metadata:

`` gh run view -R / --json name,workflowName,conclusion,status,url,event,headBranch,headSha ``

1. Fetch logs:

`` gh run view -R / --log ``

1. If the run is still in progress, get the job IDs and fetch logs directly:

`` gh run view -R / --json jobs ` Then for each relevant job: ` gh api "/repos///actions/jobs//logs" ``

Extract a concise failure snippet (relevant error lines and stack traces only).

4. Summarize failures

Present a short summary for the user:

• Check name and run URL
• Root cause (1–2 sentences with supporting log snippet)
• Note if logs are missing or truncated

5. Plan and get approval

Draft a concise fix plan covering:

• Which files to change and why
• Any tests that need updating
• Expected outcome

Ask the user for explicit approval before implementing.

6. Implement

Apply the approved plan. Show a summary of diffs and note any tests run.

7. Recheck

After changes, suggest:

gh pr checks  -R / --watch

to confirm the checks pass.
