Github Pr Checks Diagnostics

GitHub PR Checks Diagnostics

Use when you need a compact status report for PR checks/CI.

Failing or pending checks are data, not a tool failure. The tool exits 0 when it successfully retrieves check status, even if CI is red or pending.

Command

# Build step (one-time or when tools change):
tsc --project $HOME/.agents/skills/github/tools/tsconfig.json

# Then run:
node $HOME/.agents/skills/github/tools/dist/pr-checks-diagnostics.js --repo OWNER/REPO --pr PR_NUMBER

Defaults:

• --repo from git origin
• --pr from current branch via gh pr view
• private /tmp Markdown and JSON artifacts
• JSON summary on stdout

Output

The summary groups checks by GitHub CLI bucket, usually:

• fail
• pending
• pass
• skipping

Each check includes name, state, workflow, link, timestamps, and best-effort suggested commands. For GitHub Actions links, suggestions may include:

gh run view RUN_ID -R OWNER/REPO --log-failed
gh run view RUN_ID -R OWNER/REPO --web

If no run ID can be extracted, use the raw link in the report directly rather than copy/pasting generated shell commands.

Recommended workflow

1. Run this tool to get the compact status.
2. If checks are pending, wait or inspect the linked run.
3. If checks failed, run only the suggested gh run view ... --log-failed for targeted logs.
4. Do not paste full logs unless needed; summarize relevant failing excerpts.
