What it does

CI Failure Triage is an agent skill from n1m21n/Infinite. Diagnose a failed GitHub Actions run (Windows MSVC crash, Linux clang/sanitizer, link errors) from the logs in one pass, and fix every candidate at once instead of one CI round-trip at a time. Use when any Build job is red, before editing for a CI-only failure, or before cutting a release when main CI is not green. Owns the CL.exe internal-compiler-error recipe.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `triage.sh`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Failing and flaky tests and CI/CD. It works with Linux and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: Infinite is a free, open-source node-based audiovisual workstation by Naman Soni (n1m21n): real-time GPU compositing, 3D, modular synths, VST3/AU hosting.

When your agent uses it

  • Any Build job is red
  • Before editing for a CI-only failure
  • Before cutting a release when main CI is not green

Example prompts

  • “/ci-failure-triage”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. read, do not guess (2 minutes)
  2. log-reading rules that were learned the hard way
  3. the CL.exe crash recipe
  4. spend one CI run well
  5. before the push, edge cases to check

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a5c9ad0. 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

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Failure Triage loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 871 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 871 words (~1,499 tokens).

“A CI job is red and the failure does not reproduce on this Mac. We cannot run MSVC here, and one CI round-trip costs 20 to 35 minutes, so the goal is: read the log once, name the cause with…”
