Wait for CI

This skill blocks until CI either passes or fails on the current PR using a single blocking command.

Usage

Run this command to block until CI completes:

gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast

This command will:

• Block until all CI checks complete
• Exit with code 0 if all checks pass
• Exit with non-zero code and stop early (--fail-fast) if any check fails

Handling "no checks" case

If CI hasn't started yet, the command may return immediately with "no checks reported". In that case, wait briefly and retry:

sleep 30 && gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast

If after 2 attempts (about 1 minute total) there are still no checks, one of the following is true:

• You have merge conflicts. Resolve them and then start the CI wait again.
• Your changes are not triggering CI. Check the GitHub Actions setup to confirm nothing will have triggered. If true, you can consider CI green.
• GitHub is having issues. Check status.github.com to verify. If true, bail out and let the user know they'll need to try again when GitHub is back.
