What triggers the CI Diagnostics skill in Claude Code?

The skill is activated by phrases like 'CI is failing', 'workflow error', or specific commands like /ci-audit and /ci-fix.

How does the CI Diagnostics skill help with GitHub Actions?

It uses a pattern library to identify common failure causes such as bash exit code traps, YAML syntax errors, and missing secrets that are often hard to find in standard logs.

Can this skill fix permission denied errors in CI?

Yes, it detects when a workflow lacks necessary scopes like 'contents: write' or 'pull-requests: write' and suggests the exact permissions block to fix the issue.

Does it support cache optimization for faster builds?

Yes, it includes patterns for proper cache invalidation using lockfile hashes to ensure dependencies are updated correctly without breaking the build.

Can it help with invalid runner errors?

Absolutely. It validates 'runs-on' values against supported GitHub runners like ubuntu-latest, macos-14, and windows-latest to catch typos and deprecations.

Deployment & DevOps

Diagnoses and repairs GitHub Actions CI/CD failures using a specialized pattern library to troubleshoot workflow errors and automation bottlenecks.

CI Diagnostics is a production-grade pattern library for Claude Code designed to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve common GitHub Actions failures. It provides domain-specific intelligence to detect subtle issues like bash arithmetic traps, YAML indentation errors, missing repository permissions, and incorrect secret propagation. Whether you are facing a 'Resource not accessible' error or a silent failure in a matrix build, this skill helps you audit your automation pipelines and implement robust fixes based on industry best practices.

Key Features

01Identifies subtle bash arithmetic traps and exit code 1 failures in scripts.

02Troubleshoots matrix strategy issues and optimizes cache invalidation.

03Audits YAML syntax and indentation for GitHub Actions workflow files.

04Validates runner types and git checkout depth for versioning tags.

05Detects missing repository permissions for releases, PRs, and packages.

060 GitHub stars

Use Cases

01Fixing 'workflow error' messages and YAML parsing issues in the Actions tab.

02Auditing existing automation for security permissions and best practices.

03Debugging non-obvious CI failures in complex GitHub Actions workflows.
