What it does

Dd Unblock PR is an agent skill from DataDog/pup, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Load when investigating a failing PR CI pipeline or checking PR health. Attributes each CI failure as flaky, infra, or regression, proposes a targeted action, and reports code coverage.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Test coverage, Failing and flaky tests and CI/CD. It works with Datadog. The repository describes itself as: Give your AI agent a Pup — a CLI companion with 200+ commands across 33+ Datadog products. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Test coverage
  • Tasks that involve Failing and flaky tests
  • Tasks that involve CI/CD

Example prompts

  • “/dd-unblock-pr”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse Input
  2. Get PR CI Summary (run both in parallel)
  3. 5 — Fetch Code Coverage (run in parallel with STEP 1)
  4. Blame Guard per Failing Job
  5. Classify Each Failure
  6. Produce Triage Brief
  7. Propose Actions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c075375. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Dd Unblock PR loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

Unblock PR

One-line summary: Investigate a failing PR CI pipeline — attribute each failure as flaky, infra, or regression and propose a targeted action.

Requires: dd-pup skill (pup CLI installed and authenticated), dd-triage-flaky-test skill (for flaky failure deep investigation).

Input

ParameterDescription
PR branchThe branch under investigation (e.g. my-feature-branch)
RepositoryLowercase, no-schema URL (e.g. github.com/org/repo). Derive from git remote get-url origin if not provided.

Workflow

STEP 0 — Parse Input

Derive repository ID and default branch from git if not provided:

bash
# Repository ID: fully lowercase, no-schema URL (the API rejects mixed-case)
git remote get-url origin
# Strip protocol and trailing .git, then lowercase the result
# e.g. https://github.com/DataDog/my-repo.git → github.com/datadog/my-repo

# Default branch
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
# Strip refs/remotes/origin/ prefix — fall back to main if unset
STEP 1 — Get PR CI Summary (run both in parallel)

Pipeline failures (job level):

bash
pup cicd events search \
  --query "@ci.status:error @git.branch:<branch> @git.repository.id_v2:\"<repo>\"" \
  --level job \
  --from 24h \
  --limit 50

Test failures:

bash
pup cicd tests search \
  --query "@test.status:fail @git.branch:<branch> @git.repository.id_v2:\"<repo>\"" \
  --from 24h \
  --limit 50

Run both queries in parallel. Collect all distinct @test.service values from test event results. If more than one distinct service is found, note each separately in the triage brief — do not collapse them into a single service filter. If pipeline results contain only infrastructure job types (build, lint, deploy) with no test-runner output, discard test search results and skip to STEP 3.

STEP 1.5 — Fetch Code Coverage (run in parallel with STEP 1)

This step runs unconditionally — coverage context is valuable whether CI is red or green.

The --repo value must be fully lowercase (the API rejects mixed-case). Normalize before calling:

bash
repo_lower=$(echo "<repo>" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
pup code-coverage branch-summary \
  --repo "$repo_lower" \
  --branch "<branch>"

If the command returns no data or exits with an error, report "No data available" for Coverage in the PR Health section.

Note: Code quality and security violation counts are not available in pup — those lines always show "No data available".

STEP 2 — Blame Guard per Failing Job

First check whether @error_classification.domain / @error_classification.type are present on job events from STEP 1 — if populated, use them as primary classification signals.

For each failing job where classification is still needed, run both checks in parallel:

Default branch check — was this job already failing before this PR?

bash
pup cicd events aggregate \
  --query "@ci.status:error @ci.job.name:\"<job>\" @git.branch:<default-branch> @git.repository.id_v2:\"<repo>\"" \
  --compute count \
  --from 24h

Blast radius check — is this job failing on other branches too?

bash
pup cicd events aggregate \
  --query "@ci.status:error @ci.job.name:\"<job>\" @git.repository.id_v2:\"<repo>\"" \
  --compute count \
  --group-by "@git.branch" \
  --from 24h

Performance fallback: if the blast radius query is slow or times out, skip it and rely on the default branch check alone.

STEP 3 — Classify Each Failure

Priority order:

  1. If @error_classification.domain / @error_classification.type present → use as primary signal
  2. If test failure AND test appears in flaky tests with flaky_test_state:active:
    bash
    pup cicd flaky-tests search \
  --query "flaky_test_state:active @test.name:\"<test-name>\" @git.repository.id_v2:\"<repo>\""
    → flaky
  3. Use blame guard results:
Failing on default branch?Failing on ≥3 other branches?Classification
YesYesinfra (pre-existing, widespread)
YesNoinfra (pre-existing on default branch)
NoNoregression (introduced by this PR)
NoYesflaky (intermittent, cross-branch)
Insufficient data—unknown
STEP 4 — Produce Triage Brief

One entry per failing job:

PR CI Triage Brief
==================
Branch:   <branch>
Repo:     <repo>

Job: <job-name>
  Classification:  <flaky | infra | regression | unknown>
  Evidence:        <1 key data point — error message, pipeline count, or test result>
  Confidence:      <high | medium | low>
  Recommended:     <action>

[repeat for each failing job]

Overall: <N> failures — <e.g. "1 regression, 1 flaky, 1 infra">

PR Health
=========
Coverage:   <X>% on <branch> | No data available
Quality:    No data available
Security:   No data available

All three lines always appear.

STEP 5 — Propose Actions

regression → Prompt user to investigate their code changes. No write action available.

flaky → Load dd-triage-flaky-test skill for deep investigation. That skill will:

  • Attempt an agent-native fix using flaky_category + stack trace
  • Propose quarantine via pup test-optimization flaky-tests update if a quick fix isn't possible

infra → Before proposing a retry, assess whether the failure is transient:

  • Check @error_classification.type and error message for signals like timeout, runner unavailable, network error, quota exceeded — these indicate transient failures where a retry is likely to help
  • If the error is deterministic (build misconfiguration, missing secret, explicit test assertion failure), a retry is unlikely to help — note this and suggest investigating the root cause
  • If the failure is pre-existing on the default branch, inform the user — a retry will likely fail again; await the upstream fix instead

If transient and GitHub Actions: extract the run ID from @ci.pipeline.url (e.g. https://github.com/org/repo/actions/runs/<run_id>):

bash
gh run rerun <run_id> --failed

For other providers, share @ci.pipeline.url and direct to the provider UI for retry.

unknown → Suggest checking raw job logs via the CI provider UI or @ci.pipeline.url from the pipeline event.
