How does the skill handle stale branches?

It detects 'stale branch' patterns in logs, fetches the base branch, performs a rebase, and uses 'git push --force-with-lease' to update the remote safely.

Does it perform unrelated refactors while fixing CI?

No, the skill is designed to apply minimal code fixes and includes a simplification step to keep the diff focused on resolving the specific CI failure.

What happens if a CI failure is not caused by code?

If a failure is identified as infrastructure-related, a manual gate, or an unfixable policy check, the skill will stop and provide a summary of the blocking issues.

Which CI providers does the CI Autofix Loop support?

This skill specifically supports GitHub Actions and Buildkite, using the 'gh' CLI and Buildkite API to fetch logs and monitor check statuses.

CI Autofix Loop

Name: CI Autofix Loop
Author: prateek

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the end-to-end process of diagnosing, fixing, and resolving failing CI checks for GitHub Actions and Buildkite.

About

The CI Autofix Loop skill enables Claude to autonomously manage the health of your pull requests by identifying failing builds and applying targeted fixes. It orchestrates a complete workflow that includes discovering failing checks via the GitHub CLI, pulling diagnostic logs from GitHub Actions or Buildkite, and implementing minimal code changes to address the root cause. By integrating steps for code simplification and review before pushing, it ensures that build fixes remain clean and maintainable while iterating until the pipeline is green.

Key Features

Automatic resolution of stale branches via rebase and force-with-lease pushing
Automated discovery of failing checks via GitHub and Buildkite APIs
Intelligent log retrieval and error diagnosis for complex CI pipelines
Iterative loop that persists until all addressable failures are resolved
Integrated code-simplifier and code-review steps to ensure high-quality fixes
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Resolving broken builds in a Pull Request without manual log inspection
Automatically updating stale branches that are failing due to out-of-date merge bases
Fixing linting, formatting, and unit test failures reported by remote CI runners
