GitHub Actions Failure Spike Audit

Use this skill to catch workflows that recently degraded (new flaky tests, broken deploy gates, bad dependency updates, or infra outages) before they become long-running incidents.

What this skill does

  • Reads GitHub Actions run JSON exports
  • Groups by repository + workflow + branch + event
  • Splits each group into recent runs and baseline history
  • Compares recent failure rate to baseline failure rate
  • Scores severity (ok, warn, critical) using spike + recent failure rate gates
  • Emits text or JSON output for CI automation

Inputs

Optional: - RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json) - TOP_N (default: 20) - OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text) - RECENT_RUNS (default: 4) - MIN_RECENT_RUNS (default: 3) - MIN_BASELINE_RUNS (default: 4) - WARN_SPIKE_PCT (default: 15) - CRITICAL_SPIKE_PCT (default: 30) - WARN_RECENT_FAILURE_RATE (default: 25) - CRITICAL_RECENT_FAILURE_RATE (default: 45) - WORKFLOW_MATCH (regex, optional) - WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - BRANCH_MATCH (regex, optional) - BRANCH_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - EVENT_MATCH (regex, optional) - EVENT_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - REPO_MATCH (regex, optional) - REPO_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0)

Collect run JSON

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

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
RECENT_RUNS=8 
WARN_SPIKE_PCT=12 
bash skills/github-actions-failure-spike-audit/scripts/failure-spike-audit.sh

JSON output + fail gate:

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

Run against bundled fixtures:

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

Output contract

  • Exit 0 in report mode (default)
  • Exit 1 when FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 and one or more groups are critical
  • Text mode prints summary + ranked failure-rate spike groups
  • JSON mode prints summary + ranked groups + critical groups
