GitHub Actions Failure Hour Audit

Use this skill to identify when failures cluster so teams can target flaky time windows and on-call coverage.

What this skill does

  • Reads one or more GitHub Actions workflow run JSON exports
  • Keeps only failure-like conclusions (failure, cancelled, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure)
  • Buckets failures into day/hour windows (with optional timezone offset)
  • Ranks windows by severity using failure-run thresholds
  • Emits text or JSON output for dashboards or CI gates

Inputs

Optional: - RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json) - TOP_N (default: 24) - OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text) - WARN_FAILURE_RUNS (default: 3) - CRITICAL_FAILURE_RUNS (default: 6) - FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0) - TZ_OFFSET_HOURS (default: 0) — integer timezone shift from UTC, between -23 and 23 - WORKFLOW_MATCH, WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - BRANCH_MATCH, BRANCH_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - REPO_MATCH, REPO_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)

Collect run JSON

gh run view <run-id> --json databaseId,workflowName,headBranch,conclusion,createdAt,updatedAt,url,repository 
  > artifacts/github-actions/run-<run-id>.json

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
WARN_FAILURE_RUNS=3 
CRITICAL_FAILURE_RUNS=6 
TZ_OFFSET_HOURS=7 
bash skills/github-actions-failure-hour-audit/scripts/failure-hour-audit.sh

JSON output + fail gate:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
OUTPUT_FORMAT=json 
FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 
bash skills/github-actions-failure-hour-audit/scripts/failure-hour-audit.sh

Output contract

  • Exit 0 in reporting mode
  • Exit 1 when FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 and one or more critical windows are found
  • Text output includes summary and top windows by severity
  • JSON output includes summary, ranked windows, and critical_windows
