Monitor CI Results

When the user requests to monitor remote CI results or watch a pull request, or when monitoring CI after PR updates:

Note: monitor_remote_ci.py is a single long-running continuous task. It continuously watches all current and future CI runs for the PR. Do NOT launch duplicate monitoring jobs for the same PR.

1. Check Existing Process: Check if a monitor script is already running for this specific PR using pgrep -f "monitor_remote_ci.py <pr_number>". Do NOT use a generic grep without <pr_number>, as other active agent conversations may be monitoring different PRs concurrently. If one is already running for this PR, do not start another instance.
2. Launch Monitoring Script: If no monitor process is active for <pr_number>, launch the script in the background:

./.agents/skills/monitor-ci-results/scripts/monitor_remote_ci.py \
  <pr_number> "<your_conversation_id>" &

✨ Autonomous Subagent Orchestration

1. Background Polling: monitor_remote_ci.py continuously polls both GitHub PR checks and Buildkite workflow executions in the background across new commits and CI re-runs.
2. Blocked Jobs: When a Buildkite job or GitHub check is in a blocked state waiting for user confirmation, it dispatches a notification via agentapi send-message so the user is alerted to confirm running the job.
3. Failure Reporting: When any GitHub check or Buildkite job completes with errors, monitor_remote_ci.py dispatches a high-priority notification message reporting the failed check back to your conversation.
   • Soft failures (e.g. *rolling* Bazel) are non-blocking warnings; ignore.
4. Subagent Analysis: Upon receiving a failure notification message from the monitoring script, immediately launch a separate subagent using the invoke_subagent tool with the role "CI Failure Analyzer" to run the analyze-ci-failure skill on the reported failure.
5. Autonomous Flake Retry: If the CI Failure Analyzer subagent confirms that the failure is a transient infrastructure or network flake (e.g. disk I/O error, 504 gateway, sandbox initialization failure), immediately and autonomously launch a separate subagent using invoke_subagent with the role "CI Job Retrier" and the prompt template in .agents/skills/monitor-ci-results/retry-job-prompt.md to run the buildkite-retry-job skill for <pr_number>. Do not execute the script directly; use the subagent and skill orchestration instead. Continue monitoring without pausing to ask the user.
