About github

A skill for developers using the `gh` CLI to inspect GitHub pull requests, workflow runs, and API data. It outlines a stepwise CI failure investigation and structured JSON filtering.

Key features

  1. 01Inspect pull request checks
  2. 02List and view workflow runs
  3. 03Retrieve failed-step logs
  4. 04Query GitHub through `gh api`
  5. 05Filter JSON with `--jq`

Use cases

  1. 01Identify failing pull request checks
  2. 02Trace a failed workflow run
  3. 03Read logs for failed steps
  4. 04Extract selected fields from GitHub data

Install

GitHub Skill

Use the gh CLI to interact with GitHub. Always specify --repo owner/repo when not in a git directory, or use URLs directly.

Pull Requests

Check CI status on a PR:

gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo

List recent workflow runs:

gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10

View a run and see which steps failed:

gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo

View logs for failed steps only:

gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed
Debugging a CI Failure

Follow this sequence to investigate a failing CI run:

  1. Check PR status — identify which checks are failing: 
    gh pr checks 55 --repo owner/repo
  2. List recent runs — find the relevant run ID: 
    gh run list --repo owner/repo --limit 10
  3. View the failed run — see which jobs and steps failed: 
    gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo
  4. Fetch failure logs — get the detailed output for failed steps: 
    gh run view <run-id> --repo owner/repo --log-failed

API for Advanced Queries

The gh api command is useful for accessing data not available through other subcommands.

Get PR with specific fields:

gh api repos/owner/repo/pulls/55 --jq '.title, .state, .user.login'

JSON Output

Most commands support --json for structured output. You can use --jq to filter:

gh issue list --repo owner/repo --json number,title --jq '.[] | "\(.number): \(.title)"'
