Summary
Claude Code's new `/ci` skill, a markdown file in `.claude/skills/ci/SKILL.md`, audits GitHub Actions via the `gh` CLI, providing health boards, failure triage, and a post-push watcher. It encodes non-obvious `gh` behaviors like a reliable log-fetching recipe (using `gh api` instead of the often-empty `gh run view --log-failed`) and scheduled-failure attribution rules (the email cites the latest main sha, not the breaking commit). The skill also includes a failure taxonomy and notes on secrets vs variables where missing secrets silently yield empty strings.
