CI Health Check: a /ci Skill for Claude Code

By Hudson Atwell, GBTI Network Member. Originally published on gbti.network. Claude Code loads any markdown file at .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md as a reusable slash command (a "skill"). This one gives your agent a /ci command that audits your GitHub Actions: a red/green health board, real failure triage, a post-push watcher, and a living inventory of what every workflow does. It exists because agents (and humans) keep re-deriving the same motions every time CI goes red: which runs failed, how to actually get the logs, whether the failure is your commit or something that was already broken. The skill encodes those motions once, including a few non-obvious gh behaviors that cost me real debugging time. Install Create .claude/skills/ci/ in your repo. Save the file below as .claude/skills/ci/SKILL.md. If your repo commits build artifacts, fill in the drift action; either way, seed the workflow inventory table. Type /ci (or /ci health check) in Claude Code. Requires
