GitHub Actions Merge Queue Health Audit

Use this skill to catch unhealthy merge_group (or pull-request gate) workflows before queue times and failures block merges.

What this skill does

  • Reads GitHub Actions run JSON exports
  • Focuses on merge queue style events (merge_group by default)
  • Aggregates health by repo/workflow (or repo/workflow/branch)
  • Scores risk using failure rate, queue latency, and stale-success age
  • Emits ok / warn / critical with optional CI fail gate

Inputs

Optional: - RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json) - TOP_N (default: 20) - OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text) - GROUP_BY (repo-workflow or repo-workflow-branch, default: repo-workflow) - NOW_ISO (optional ISO timestamp override for deterministic replay) - EVENTS (comma list, default: merge_group) - WARN_FAILURE_RATE (0..1, default: 0.2) - CRITICAL_FAILURE_RATE (0..1, default: 0.4) - WARN_P95_QUEUE_MINUTES (default: 8) - CRITICAL_P95_QUEUE_MINUTES (default: 20) - WARN_STALE_SUCCESS_HOURS (default: 18) - CRITICAL_STALE_SUCCESS_HOURS (default: 48) - MIN_RUNS (default: 3) - WORKFLOW_MATCH / WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - BRANCH_MATCH / BRANCH_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - REPO_MATCH / REPO_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - EVENT_MATCH / EVENT_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0)

Collect run JSON

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

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
bash skills/github-actions-merge-queue-health-audit/scripts/merge-queue-health-audit.sh

JSON output + fail gate:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
OUTPUT_FORMAT=json 
FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 
bash skills/github-actions-merge-queue-health-audit/scripts/merge-queue-health-audit.sh

Run against bundled fixtures:

NOW_ISO='2026-03-08T00:00:00Z' 
RUN_GLOB='skills/github-actions-merge-queue-health-audit/fixtures/*.json' 
bash skills/github-actions-merge-queue-health-audit/scripts/merge-queue-health-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 risk groups
  • JSON mode prints summary + ranked groups + critical groups
