What it does

CI Monitor is an agent skill from haacked/dotfiles. Monitor CI checks after pushing, detect flaky vs legit failures, and auto-fix. Follows a PR into a Trunk merge queue, where the queue's CI runs on its own branch.

Its SKILL.md is about 10k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 25 other files, including scripts (for example `handlers/fix.md`, `scripts/ci-approval-safety.sh` and `scripts/ci-check-status.sh`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code (or similar products)

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: My dotfiles and scripts I use on dev machines.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/ci-monitor”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code (or similar products)
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(~/.dotfiles/ai/skills/ci-monitor/scripts/*), Bash(~/.dotfiles/bin/detect-pr.sh:*), Bash(sleep:*), Bash(gh:*), Bash(git:*), Read(~/.dotfiles/ai/skills/ci-monitor/**), Write, Edit, Agent

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse Arguments
  2. Check CI Status
  3. Polling Loop
  4. Triage Failures
  5. Fix Cycle
  6. Awaiting Approval (Outside-Contributor PRs)
  7. Merge Queue (Trunk)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d00b66. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(~/.dotfiles/ai/skills/ci-monitor/scripts/*)
    • Bash(~/.dotfiles/bin/detect-pr.sh:*)
    • Bash(sleep:*)
    • Bash(gh:*)
    • Bash(git:*)
    • Read(~/.dotfiles/ai/skills/ci-monitor/**)
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Agent

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 15 files in scripts/ (Shell, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • git

    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

    Also links to:

    • trunk.io

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code (or similar products)

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

CI Monitor loads about 10k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 5,862 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~10k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 5,862 words (~10,336 tokens).

“Monitor GitHub CI checks for the current PR, wait for completion, classify failures as flaky or legit, and guide fixes for legit failures.”
