Description:

Currently, CircleCI has removed skipped runs from the UI to create a cleaner experience. While this is generally helpful, there are cases where being able to see these skipped runs is valuable for troubleshooting and auditing purposes. Since these events are already recorded in the audit log, I'm requesting a feature that would allow organizations to optionally view these skipped runs in the UI.

Use Cases:

Debugging CI trigger patterns and configurations

Verifying branch protection rules are working as expected

Understanding organization workflow patterns holistically

Auditing repository activity comprehensively

Training new team members on CircleCI behavior

Proposed Solutions

Any of these options would address the need:

A simple toggle in the Pipeline UI to show/hide skipped runs

A repository-level setting in project configuration

An organization-wide default that can be overridden per repository

Business Value:

This enhancement would maintain the current clean UI for most users while providing DevOps teams and administrators with the flexibility to see the complete history when needed. It would reduce the need to access audit logs for routine troubleshooting, saving time and improving workflow visibility.
