Run Github CI Before Commit

Run GitHub CI Before Commit

Overview

Enforce a hard gate before git commit or git push: run the same required checks defined by the target repository's GitHub workflow. Never assume the skill folder is the target repository.

Workflow

1. Resolve target repository.
2. Discover CI requirements from workflow files.
3. Build exact local check list.
4. Execute checks and collect evidence.
5. Block commit/push on failures.
6. Submit to GitHub only after checks pass.
7. Create pull request as the final step when requested.

Step 1: Resolve Target Repository (Mandatory)

Determine repo in this order:

1. User-explicit path or repo name (highest priority).
2. Current working directory git root (git rev-parse --show-toplevel).
3. If not in git repo, stop and ask for target repo path.

Hard rules:

• Do not treat ~/.codex/skills/<skill-name> as target repo unless user explicitly says so.
• Do not run CI checks in a non-git directory.
• Always print resolved repository path before running checks.

Step 2: Discover CI Requirements

Read workflow definitions from target repo:

• .github/workflows/*.yml
• .github/workflows/*.yaml

Prioritize jobs triggered by push / pull_request. Extract required quality steps from run: commands first.

Focus on jobs that are quality gates for pull requests or pushes:

• lint / format
• typecheck / static analysis
• unit/integration/e2e tests
• build/package validation
• language-specific checks (security scan, migrations validation, etc.)

Ignore deployment-only jobs unless the user asks to run them locally.

If no workflow file exists, derive a best-effort default set from project scripts/toolchain and clearly state this is fallback mode.

Step 3: Build Local Check List

Build a deterministic ordered list matching CI intent, for example:

1. install dependencies
2. lint/format check
3. typecheck/static analysis
4. tests
5. build

Use repository-native tooling and scripts first (bun run ..., npm run ..., pnpm ..., yarn ..., pytest, go test, etc.). Do not invent non-existent commands. If workflow has explicit commands, run those exact commands.

Step 4: Execute Checks

Run checks in deterministic order and stop at first failure when speed matters, or run all and produce a full failure list when diagnostics matter.

When a command fails:

• capture failing command
• capture key error output
• provide fix direction
• re-run affected checks after fix

Step 5: Commit/Push Gate Rules

• Never run git commit while required checks are failing.
• Never run git push while required checks are failing.
• If all required checks pass, proceed with commit flow and then push.
• If the user insists on commit/push with failures, require explicit confirmation and note risk.

Step 6: Submit to GitHub

When user asks "提交到 GitHub":

1. Verify repo has remote (git remote -v).
2. Verify auth (gh auth status) when available.
3. Push branch to remote.
4. If workflows exist, optionally check latest run status (gh run list, gh run view).
5. Report commit SHA, branch, remote URL, and CI status.

Step 7: Create Pull Request (Final Step)

When user asks to create PR (or asks to complete GitHub submission end-to-end):

1. Confirm base branch and head branch.
2. Ensure branch has been pushed successfully.
3. Create PR with clear title and summary (gh pr create).
4. Return PR URL as final delivery artifact.

Hard rules:

• PR creation must happen after required checks pass and after push succeeds.
• If checks fail, do not create PR unless user explicitly overrides risk.

Output Format

Always report:

1. Resolved target repo path
2. Required checks list (source: workflow/fallback)
3. Executed commands
4. Pass/fail per command
5. Final gate result:
   • CI Gate: PASS - Safe to commit
   • CI Gate: FAIL - Commit blocked
6. If pushed: repo URL, branch, commit SHA, Actions status
7. If PR created: PR URL, base branch, head branch

Example Triggers

• "提交前先跑一下 GitHub CI 要求"
• "帮我确认这次改动能过 CI 再 commit"
• "按仓库 CI 规则做 pre-commit 检查"
• "把这个改动提交到 GitHub"
• "创建 PR"

Guardrails

• Prefer exact CI parity over speed shortcuts.
• Keep command list concise and reproducible.
• If CI has matrix jobs, cover at least the default development target unless user requests full matrix simulation.
• If repository scope is ambiguous, stop and clarify before running checks or pushing.
• If user asks for PR, treat PR creation as the final completion step.
