Fix failing PR checks, debug GitHub Actions, or account for CI follow-up rounds and wait for verification.

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

# GitHub CI Fix

## Overview

Systematic workflow for debugging failing PR checks using `gh` CLI. Identifies GitHub Actions failures with logs, scopes external checks (Buildkite, etc.) as out-of-scope, then uses existing plan workflow for fixes.

## Prerequisites

```bash
gh auth status  # Required scopes: repo, workflow
```

**STOP if unauthenticated:** `gh auth login --scopes repo,workflow`

## Quick Reference

| Task | Command |
|------|---------|
| Find current PR | `gh pr view --json number,url` |
| Inspect PR status (snapshot only) | `gh pr checks <pr>` |
| Wait for CI | `lacquer wait pr <N>` |
| View run details | `gh run view <run-id>` |
| Get failed logs | `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed` |
| Full run log | `gh run view <run-id> --log` |
| Recent runs for this check | `gh run list --workflow <name> --branch <branch> --json conclusion,headSha,createdAt -L 20` |
| Rerun without code changes (flakiness probe) | `gh run rerun <run-id> --failed` |

## Workflow

### 1. Verify Auth → 2. Find PR → 3. Inspect

```bash
gh auth status  # If fails: ask user to authenticate
gh pr view --json number,url  # Or use user-provided PR number
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add patrickserrano/lacquer/github-ci-fix@sha256:26cec0d63ecfbd6e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.3718684, 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.
