GitHub Actions Failure Phase Audit

Use this skill to identify which CI/CD phase is burning the most minutes when jobs fail.

What this skill does

  • Reads one or more GitHub Actions run JSON exports (gh run view --json ...)
  • Detects the first non-success step per failed/cancelled/timed-out job
  • Maps failures to phases: setup, build, test, lint, deploy, security, other
  • Aggregates failures by repo + workflow + phase + failed step
  • Ranks hotspots by impacted minutes and failure count

Inputs

Optional: - RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json) - TOP_N (default: 20) - OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text) - WARN_MINUTES (default: 20) - CRITICAL_MINUTES (default: 45) - FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0) - WORKFLOW_MATCH, WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - REPO_MATCH, REPO_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - BRANCH_MATCH, BRANCH_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - PHASE_MATCH, PHASE_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)

Collect run JSON

gh run view <run-id> --json databaseId,workflowName,headBranch,headSha,url,repository,jobs 
  > artifacts/github-actions/run-<run-id>.json

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
WARN_MINUTES=15 
CRITICAL_MINUTES=35 
bash skills/github-actions-failure-phase-audit/scripts/failure-phase-audit.sh

JSON output + fail gate:

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

Phase filtered report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
PHASE_MATCH='^(test|deploy)$' 
bash skills/github-actions-failure-phase-audit/scripts/failure-phase-audit.sh

Run with bundled fixtures:

RUN_GLOB='skills/github-actions-failure-phase-audit/fixtures/*.json' 
bash skills/github-actions-failure-phase-audit/scripts/failure-phase-audit.sh

Output contract

  • Exit 0 in reporting mode
  • Exit 1 when FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 and critical hotspots exist
  • Text output includes totals and ranked phase hotspots
  • JSON output includes summary, hotspots, and critical_hotspots
