Conciseness

Lean and dense — triage and pitfalls are compact tables, commands are bare, and the prose only carries non-obvious operational judgment (detached-HEAD scoping, @{u}..HEAD semantics, rejected-push policy) that Claude does not reliably know. Every token earns its place.

Actionability

Fully executable throughout: 'gh run view <run-id> --log-failed', 'gh run list --branch "$(git branch --show-current)" --status failure --limit 5', 'git log --oneline @{u}..<start commit>', 'gh run watch <databaseId> --exit-status' — copy-paste-ready commands with concrete fallbacks for each input form.

Workflow Clarity

Clear three-phase sequence with explicit validation (verify locally with the same command from the workflow YAML before committing), feedback loops (revert and retry max 3 attempts; re-diagnose after pushed runs fail, max 2 more rounds), and a Rules checklist. The batch operation is fully covered by validation, so no cap applies.

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized single-file structure with clear sections and no unnecessary external references, and nothing inlined that clearly belongs in a separate file — but at ~90 lines it exceeds the under-50-line simple-skill exception, and the triage/pitfalls tables are borderline reference material. Sits between anchors 4 and 5.

Specificity

Names the GitHub Actions CI domain and several concrete actions ('Commits fixes locally and stops; pass --push to let it push and re-check CI'), but the log-fetch and diagnosis steps are only implied by 'run URL, job ID' — minor gaps in coverage, matching anchor 4 rather than the comprehensive anchor 5.

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (commits fixes locally, stops by default, pushes and re-checks CI with --push) and 'when' (Use when checks fail / runs are red / user asks to fix CI) with concrete trigger phrases, matching the anchor 5 example structure.

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger phrases — 'fix CI', 'actions failing', 'checks are red', 'pipeline broke', 'workflow failed' — covering synonyms users would actually say, reinforced by the 'Use when GitHub Actions checks fail, workflow runs are red' clause.

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche — GitHub Actions failure diagnosis and fixing — with distinct, domain-specific triggers ('actions failing', 'workflow failed'); minimal overlap risk with other skills.
