Fix CI Failures

Take the branch named in the input, or main when none is given. Find its most recent CI failures, triage each one from the logs that already exist, and fix what is real. The logs are the whole evidence: CI is a record you read, never a thing you trigger. Your own proof that a fix works is the failing command run green locally. Text after the branch name is overriding guidance.

Project context. Follow the repo's AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md rules for tests, lint, cache clears, and a dirty tree.

1. Find the latest failures

Run git fetch origin. For each workflow, take only its newest completed run on the branch. An older failure whose workflow has passed since is already fixed, and a run still in progress is not evidence yet: skip both.

gh run list --branch B --status completed --limit 100 \
  --json databaseId,workflowName,conclusion,headSha,createdAt,url \
  --jq 'group_by(.workflowName) | map(max_by(.createdAt)) | .[]
        | select(.conclusion == "failure" or .conclusion == "timed_out" or .conclusion == "startup_failure")'
gh run view RUN --json jobs --jq '.jobs[] | select(.conclusion == "failure") | {databaseId, name, url}'
gh run view --job JOB --log-failed

No failed workflow: report that the branch's latest completed runs are green, and stop.

Completion criterion: every failed job is listed with its workflow, run URL, headSha, and the first real error from its log (not the trailing exit code 1).

2. Classify every failure

Read git log --oneline <headSha>..origin/B first: commits since the failed run may already fix it. Then write one line per failed job:

Failure N: [LEGIT | STALE | FLAKY | INFRA] — <one-line evidence>
  • LEGIT: the error points at code on the branch, and it reproduces at origin/B when you run the same command locally.
  • STALE: a later commit fixed it. Cite the sha, or show the command passing locally.
  • FLAKY: it passes locally at the same sha, and the log shows timing, ordering, or a network call.
  • INFRA: runner, cache, registry, secret, or quota errors, and anything that needs a CI setting or a human decision. Name what it needs.

When the command cannot run locally (a missing service or secret), classify from the log and the code alone, and say that it is unreproduced.

Completion criterion: every failed job has a line.

3. Fix the legit ones

No LEGIT left: go to step 5.

Work on the branch without disturbing a dirty tree or another worktree's checkout. When the tree is dirty or the branch is checked out elsewhere, use git worktree add .claude/worktrees/ci-<branch> origin/B (at that path, never a sibling directory), then make it runnable with laravel-herd-worktrees' Bootstrap a bare worktree section before running anything in it. Leave it in place until step 5. Per LEGIT failure: make the minimal change, run the failing command locally until it is green, then commit with explicit staging (Conventional Commits, naming the job).

Completion criterion: every LEGIT failure has a commit that turned its command green locally.

4. Land the fixes

A commit on the worktree fixes nothing until it is on B. Show the commits, say where they will go, and land them without asking:

  • Default: push to B with git push origin HEAD:B (no --force). If it is refused because origin/B moved, git fetch origin, rebase onto origin/B, re-run each fixed command, and push again.
  • Direct pushes forbidden (branch protection, or the repo's rules): push a fix/ci-<branch> branch and open a pull request into B with a body in the pr skill's template.
  • A user instruction in the input or the conversation ("open a PR", "don't push") overrides both.

The push starts new CI runs. Leave them running and do not come back for their result. When step 3 worked in the main checkout on a local B, it is now in step with origin/B; when it worked in a worktree, leave the user's local B as it is and say it is behind.

Completion criterion: every fix commit is on origin/B, in an open pull request, or kept local by the user's instruction.

5. Clean up and report

If step 3 created a worktree and its commits are on origin/B (or in the open pull request), remove it without asking: git worktree remove (no --force). If git refuses, or the commits are kept local, keep it and ask one yes/no question: "Can I delete the worktree I created?" Remove it only on yes, never with --force; otherwise name it in the report as kept.

One line per failed job: fixed in <sha>, stale (<sha>), flaky, infra (what it needs), or unreproduced. Then say where the commits landed, and each worktree removed or kept. Start each job line with a mark: ✅ fixed or stale, ⚠️ flaky, infra, or unreproduced.

Guardrails

CI evidence comes only from runs that already exist. Do not run gh run rerun, gh workflow run, or gh run watch, do not push an empty or retry commit, and do not wait on a run.
