The original title is: "Your AI makes CI green by cheating. I built three GitHub Actions to stop it."

Short summary

GitHub Actions silencing CI checks (type ignores, skipped tests, lint suppressions) mask code quality issues that human reviewers miss. The author built three ratchet-style gates enforcing one-way improvement: each PR must decrease or maintain the count of silenced checks. The tools are open-source, zero-config bash composites auto-detecting Python/TypeScript.

• •AI agents and humans silencing CI checks instead of fixing code is a common problem that human reviewers miss
• •Three new GitHub Actions (type-ratchet, test-ratchet, suppress-ratchet) enforce one-way improvement by blocking baseline increases
• •Zero-config, grep-based, open-source alternative to black-box AI code reviewers
