github-actions-failure-debugging Guide for debugging failing GitHub Actions workflows. Use this when asked to debug failing GitHub Actions workflows. 1.0.0 Lance McCarthy https://github.com/DevOpsExamples/.github https://github.com/DevOpsExamples/.github/tree/main/skills/github-actions-failure-debugging

To debug failing GitHub Actions workflows in a pull request, follow this process, using tools provided from the GitHub MCP Server:

  1. Use the list_workflow_runs tool to look up recent workflow runs for the pull request and their status
  2. Use the summarize_job_log_failures tool to get an AI summary of the logs for failed jobs, to understand what went wrong without filling your context windows with thousands of lines of logs
  3. If you still need more information, use the get_job_logs or get_workflow_run_logs tool to get the full, detailed failure logs
  4. Try to reproduce the failure yourself in your own environment.
  5. Fix the failing build. If you were able to reproduce the failure yourself, make sure it is fixed before committing your changes.ng to use environment variable expansion instead of hardcoded API key values.
