Suggested use cases

  • Ask your favourite AI coding assistant to fix CI failures:

    Run `gh-show-actions-log` to view errors and address them if any

  • Add this to your global AGENTS.md for your favourite AI coding assistant. Think of it as if you just added a GitHub Actions MCP.

    You have access to the `gh-show-actions-log` CLI tool. It shows test status for the current commit in GitHub Actions, and show logs for failures. If a run is pending, it waits until it completes. Use this to query status or show logs from GitHub Actions CI.

  • Mark a draft PR as ready for review as soon as it passes:

    gh-show-actions-log && gh pr ready

  • Get alerted when CI fails or succeeds:

    gh-show-actions-log && say "CI passed!" || say "CI failed!"

  • Show logs after pushing code:

    git push && gh-show-actions-log
