What it does, in the publisher's words
Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing GitHub PR checks that run in GitHub Actions; use `gh` to inspect checks and logs, summarize failure context, draft a fix plan, and implement only after explicit approval. Treat external providers (for example Buildkite) as out of scope and report only the details URL.
The description field of the SKILL.md. The agent reads only this at startup and decides from it when to load the full skill.
Install GitHub: Fix CI
The skills CLI copies the skill into the folder of each agent you pick (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Windsurf...). Add -g for all projects. Needs Node.js 22.20+. docs
npx skills add openai/skills --skill gh-fix-ci
Copy the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills (all projects) or .claude/skills (this repo). Claude Code picks it up without a restart. docs
npx skills add openai/skills --skill gh-fix-ci -a claude-code # or by hand: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openai/skills.git /tmp/gh-fix-ci-src cp -r /tmp/gh-fix-ci-src/skills/.curated/gh-fix-ci ~/.claude/skills/gh-fix-ci
Download the skill folder, zip it, then Customize > Skills > + > Create skill > Upload a skill. Code execution must be on (Settings > Capabilities). docs
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/openai/skills.git /tmp/gh-fix-ci-src cp -r /tmp/gh-fix-ci-src/skills/.curated/gh-fix-ci ./gh-fix-ci zip -r gh-fix-ci.zip gh-fix-ci
It's in OpenAI's own catalog: ask Codex for $skill-installer gh-fix-ci, or use the skills CLI. docs
$skill-installer gh-fix-ci
gh skill (GitHub CLI 2.90+, preview) installs it for Copilot in VS Code, the CLI and the cloud agent. Copilot also reads .github/skills and ~/.copilot/skills. docs
gh skill install openai/skills gh-fix-ci
Cursor reads .cursor/skills, .agents/skills and ~/.cursor/skills (and .claude/skills). It does not install loose skills from a GitHub URL, so copy it in. docs
npx skills add openai/skills --skill gh-fix-ci -a cursor
Installs from the GitHub repo; --path picks this skill out of the repo. Default scope is user (all projects). docs
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/skills.git --path skills/.curated/gh-fix-ci
OpenCode reads .opencode/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills and the Claude and .agents folders. docs
npx skills add openai/skills --skill gh-fix-ci -a opencode
Windsurf (now Devin Desktop) reads .devin/skills, .windsurf/skills and ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills. docs
npx skills add openai/skills --skill gh-fix-ci -a windsurf
Works with
Claude Code, Claude.ai and Claude Desktop, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Windsurf and other agents that read the open Agent Skills format.
- Bundles 1 Python script the agent can run, so it needs Python on the machine. In the Claude apps, code execution must be on.
