Determine whether a failing CI check was caused by the current change, then recommend exactly one action. Use when a required check fails on a pull request, when asked "is this failure mine?", when a job passes locally but fails in CI, or before retrying a red build. Covers fetching the real log, reading the first error instead of the tail, classifying bug / flaky / environment / pipeline, comparing against the base branch and recent runs, reproducing with CI versions, and fixing a flaky test…
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
# Diagnose CI Gate A red check is a claim, not a diagnosis. Before you change code or press re-run, establish three things from evidence: what actually failed, which class of failure it is, and whether this change caused it. This skill is for a failing required check on a pull request or a branch. For cutting CI cost in general, use the `github-actions-efficiency` skill. For a domain-specific flaky suite, use the skill for that tool (for example `cypress-flake-fixer`) after this triage. ## When to Use This Skill - A required check fails on a pull request and you need to know if it is yours - A job passes locally but fails in CI, or fails on only some runs - Someone says "that failure is unrelated, just re-run it" - A build has been retried several times and keeps failing - You are about to edit a workflow file to make a check pass ## Prerequisites - `gh` CLI authenticated, or the raw logs pasted by the user - Read access to the base branch and its recent runs - The commands in the failing step, so they can be reproduced If logs are truncated, partial, or only a summary, stop and ask for the full log. Do not diagnose from the last few lines of a summarized check. …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/diagnose-ci-gate@sha256:3f4b18bbd9c47b93The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.9e9d072, 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.
