At a glance

Parse CI failures, identify failing job/step, classify as flake, regression, env, or config.

  • Tasks that involve Failing and flaky tests
  • SKILL.md covers Output per failure and Classification Rules
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

CI Triage is an agent skill from cobusgreyling/loop-engineering. Parse CI failures, identify failing job/step, classify as flake, regression, env, or config. Use in CI sweeper loops before any fix attempt.

Its SKILL.md is about 190 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Failing and flaky tests. The repository describes itself as: Practical patterns, starters & CLI tools for loop engineering with AI coding agents. Design systems that prompt and orchestrate agents (inspired by Addy Osmani and Boris Cherny)… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Failing and flaky tests

Example prompts

  • “/ci-triage”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e766228. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CI Triage loads about 192 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 42 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~192

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

CI Triage Skill

Output per failure

markdown
### Failure — branch @ sha
- Job / step:
- Error (1-3 lines):
- Classification: flake | regression | env | config
- Actionable: yes | no
- Suggested loop action: minimal-fix | watch | escalate-human

Classification Rules

  • flake: intermittent, passed on retry, no code change
  • regression: new failure correlated with recent commit
  • env: runner, registry, secrets, quota
  • config: workflow, dependency install, cache

Env failures → escalate-human. Do not "fix" with code changes.
