CI is slow, time to green, how long do checks take, p50/p90, make CI faster, speed up a job or spec, hillclimb CI. Use to measure PR CI time, find where a job's seconds go, and land speedups one measured change at a time without weakening any check.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Speed up CI CI speed is a measured number, not a feeling. Measure it the same way every time, find where the seconds actually go, change one thing, measure again, keep it only if the number moved and every check still guards what it did. ## 1. Measure time to green ```bash node .github/scripts/ci-time-to-green.mjs --hours 24 # all PRs node .github/scripts/ci-time-to-green.mjs --hours 6 --branch-prefix perf/ci-x --json ``` - `required`: push → last merge-gating check green (`openwork-tests-required`, `warden-clear`). - `full`: push → last GitHub Actions check green. "Evidence preview" is ignored (a link, not a test). - Failed or unfinished commits are excluded from the percentiles and counted separately. Record the baseline (p50/p90/p99 and `n`) before changing anything. Compare p50/p90 with at least ~20 commits; one PR's run is a data point, not a trend. ## 2. Find where the seconds go Never guess from YAML. Read the timings GitHub and the test kit already record. ```bash # Every job and step of a run, with durations gh run view <run-id> --json jobs --jq '.jobs[] | "\(.name)", (.steps[] | " \(.name)")' …

How to install
mdr add different-ai/openwork/speed-up-ci@sha256:5aee30c778014ae7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.ce01d3e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
