Maintenance
Diagnoses CI and pull-request pipeline health for a GitHub repo using the engineering analytics MCP tools — pull-requests (PR list with CI status), workflow-health (per-workflow CI trends), and pr-lifecycle (a single PR's timeline). Use when asked whether CI is getting faster or slower, which GitHub Actions workflow is the slow or flaky long-pole, how long PRs take from open to merge, how an author's merge time compares to the cohort, which open PRs have failing or pending CI, or where a specific pull request is stuck. Triggers on "engineering analytics", "is CI getting slower", "slow workflow", "flaky CI", "time to merge", "cycle time", "PR throughput", "failing checks", "where is PR <n> stuck", "CI long pole", "what's holding up this PR". For a verdict on one specific CI failure (whose fault, which commit) use investigating-ci-failures; to save these numbers as insights use turning-engineering-analytics-into-insights.
