Buildkite CI

Automate Buildkite pipelines — trigger builds, inspect steps and jobs, and manage pipeline runs. Kicks off builds on branches, monitors step status, and retrieves job logs and annotations for hybrid self-hosted CI/CD.

This skill operates Buildkite: triggering builds, reading pipeline and step status, fetching job logs and annotations, and unblocking or retrying steps. Use it to integrate Buildkite into automation or debug a stuck build in Buildkite's agent-based model.

When to use

Use when triggering Buildkite builds, monitoring pipeline steps and jobs, or retrieving logs and annotations from a run.

Examples

Trigger a build

Start a pipeline run

Trigger a Buildkite build on the main branch of our deploy pipeline and report the outcome of each step

Investigate a stuck step

Read job logs

A Buildkite step has been running for 20 minutes — pull the job log and annotations so we can see what it is waiting on
