Skill: CI Workflow Debugging

When to Use

Use this skill when pull requests fail checks or automation jobs.

Core Workflow

Identify failing job scope (lint, tests, build artifacts, release pipeline).
Reproduce failure locally with matching commands.
Fix root cause while preserving existing workflow intent.
Confirm related jobs are not impacted by the fix.
Keep automation assumptions aligned with repository policies.

Guardrails

Do not patch around failures by weakening tests/lints.
Keep release and JS auto-build workflows intact.
Avoid introducing branch- or actor-specific CI logic hacks.
