Reusable CI Auto-Fix Workflow

Generate a reusable GitHub Actions workflow for automated CI failure analysis and remediation.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when...	Use something else when...
Setting up a reusable auto-fix workflow for multiple repos	Setting up auto-fix for a single repo (/workflow:auto-fix)
Creating a caller workflow that invokes the reusable template	Fixing a single PR's checks (/git:fix-pr)
Customizing auto-fix inputs for different project types	Inspecting workflow runs manually (/workflow:inspect)

Context

• Reusable workflow exists: !find .github/workflows -maxdepth 1 -name 'reusable-ci-autofix.yml' -type f
• Caller workflow exists: !find .github/workflows -maxdepth 1 -name 'auto-fix.yml' -type f
• Current workflows: !find .github/workflows -maxdepth 1 -name '*.yml' -type f
• Claude secrets configured: !gh secret list

Parameters

Parse from $ARGUMENTS:

• --setup: Create or update the reusable workflow in .github/workflows/reusable-ci-autofix.yml
• --caller: Create the caller workflow in .github/workflows/auto-fix.yml
• --workflows <names>: Comma-separated workflow names to monitor (for caller; default: auto-detect CI workflows)
• --dry-run: Show what would be created without writing files

Execution

Execute this workflow generation process:

Step 1: Detect current state

1. Check if .github/workflows/reusable-ci-autofix.yml already exists
2. Check if .github/workflows/auto-fix.yml already exists
3. List all current workflow files and their name: fields
4. Check if CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret is configured

Step 2: Select workflows to monitor (for caller)

If --workflows provided, use those. Otherwise, auto-detect:

Good candidates:

• CI/test workflows (lint, test, build, type-check)
• Code quality checks (formatting, style)

Skip:

• Release/deploy workflows
• Claude-powered workflows (avoid recursive triggers)
• Scheduled/audit workflows

Step 3: Generate the reusable workflow

If --setup or reusable workflow is missing, create .github/workflows/reusable-ci-autofix.yml using the template from REFERENCE.md § Reusable Workflow.

Key customization points:

1. Set the auto_fixable_criteria and not_auto_fixable_criteria defaults to match the project's tech stack
2. Set the verification_commands default to match the project's linter/formatter commands
3. Adjust max_turns if needed (default: 50)

Step 4: Generate the caller workflow

If --caller or caller workflow is missing, create .github/workflows/auto-fix.yml using the template from REFERENCE.md § Caller Workflow.

Key customization points:

1. Set the monitored workflow names in the workflows: list
2. Configure auto_fixable_criteria override if the project has specific fixable patterns
3. Configure verification_commands for the project's tools

Step 5: Validate and report

1. Verify both workflow YAML files are valid
2. List the monitored workflows
3. Check that required secrets exist (CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
4. Report any missing prerequisites

Safety Guards

Guard	Purpose
!startsWith(commit, 'fix(auto):')	Prevent recursive auto-fix loops
head_branch != 'main' (caller)	Never auto-fix protected branches
Max 2 open auto-fix PRs	Prevent PR flooding
Concurrency group per branch	One auto-fix at a time per branch
max-turns limit	Cap Claude's iteration count
timeout-minutes: 30	Prevent runaway jobs

Prerequisites

Requirement	How to set up
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	Repository or org secret
contents: write	Included in workflow permissions
pull-requests: write	Included in workflow permissions
issues: write	For creating issues on complex failures

Agentic Optimizations

Context	Command
Check workflow exists	test -f .github/workflows/reusable-ci-autofix.yml
List CI workflows	grep -h '^name:' .github/workflows/*.yml
Check secrets	gh secret list
Recent failures	gh run list --status failure --json name,headBranch -L 10
Validate YAML	python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/reusable-ci-autofix.yml'))"
