We’ve updated the commit statuses CircleCI posts to your VCS to make it faster to see which run failed and why, for both people and AI agents.
More descriptive status URLs
Status links previously used the format https://circleci.com/{project-slug}/{build-number}. They now include the workflow and job IDs:
- Build jobs:
https://circleci.com/workflow/:workflow-id/job/:job-id - Non-build jobs:
https://circleci.com/workflow/:workflow-id
Failure details you can act on
When a job fails, the commit status description now points to the CircleCI CLI:
This replaces the generic “Your tests failed on CircleCI” message. It gives you, and any AI agents working on your pipelines, the context needed to diagnose and fix failing CI.
What you need to do
Nothing. If you have tooling that parses the old status URL format, update it to handle the new one.
We’ll continue to make improvements here. Have feedback or a request? Let us know here.
