GitHub Actions Failure Streak Audit

Use this skill to find repeated CI failures before they become delivery bottlenecks.

What this skill does

  • Reads GitHub Actions run JSON exports (gh run view --json ...)
  • Groups runs by repo + workflow + branch
  • Detects consecutive failure streaks (failure, cancelled, timed_out)
  • Scores severity by streak length and impacted runtime minutes
  • Surfaces longest unresolved streaks first

Inputs

Optional: - RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json) - TOP_N (default: 20) - OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text) - WARN_STREAK (default: 2) - CRITICAL_STREAK (default: 4) - 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)

Collect run JSON

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

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
WARN_STREAK=2 
CRITICAL_STREAK=4 
bash skills/github-actions-failure-streak-audit/scripts/failure-streak-audit.sh

JSON output + fail gate:

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

Run with bundled fixtures:

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

Output contract

  • Exit 0 in reporting mode
  • Exit 1 when FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 and critical streaks exist
  • Text output includes grouped streak totals and ranked hotspots
  • JSON output includes summary, streaks, and critical_streaks
