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 "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr ""
• 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.
2. 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.
3. Inspect failing checks (GitHub Actions only).
• Preferred: run the bundled script (handles gh field drift and job-log fallbacks):
• python "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr ""
• Add --json for machine-friendly output.
• Manual fallback:
• gh pr checks --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 --json name,workflowName,conclusion,status,url,event,headBranch,headSha
• gh run view --log
• If the run log says it is still in progress, fetch job logs directly:
• gh api "/repos///actions/jobs//logs" > ""
4. 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.
5. Summarize failures for the user.
• Provide the failing check name, run URL (if any), and a concise log snippet.
• Call out missing logs explicitly.
6. Create a plan.
• Use the create-plan skill to draft a concise plan and request approval.
7. Implement after approval.
• Apply the approved plan, summarize diffs/tests, and ask about opening a PR.
8. 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 "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "123"
• python "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --pr "https://github.com/org/repo/pull/123" --json
• python "/scripts/inspect_pr_checks.py" --repo "." --max-lines 200 --context 40
