GitHub Actions Stuck Run Audit

Use this skill to catch workflows that are stuck in queued/in-progress states for too long.

What this skill does

  • Reads GitHub Actions run JSON exports
  • Detects stale runs in non-terminal statuses (queued, in_progress, etc.)
  • Aggregates stuck risk by repo/workflow (or repo/branch)
  • Scores severity with stuck-age, stuck-run volume, and stuck-rate thresholds
  • Emits ok / warn / critical and can fail CI gates

Inputs

Optional: - RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json) - TOP_N (default: 20) - OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text) - GROUP_BY (repo, repo-workflow, repo-workflow-branch; default: repo-workflow) - NOW_ISO (optional ISO timestamp override for deterministic replay) - STUCK_STATUSES (comma list, default: queued,in_progress,pending,waiting,requested) - WARN_STUCK_MINUTES (default: 45) - CRITICAL_STUCK_MINUTES (default: 120) - WARN_STUCK_RUNS (default: 2) - CRITICAL_STUCK_RUNS (default: 4) - WARN_STUCK_RATE (0..1, default: 0.2) - CRITICAL_STUCK_RATE (0..1, default: 0.45) - MIN_RUNS (default: 1) - WORKFLOW_MATCH / WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - BRANCH_MATCH / BRANCH_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - EVENT_MATCH / EVENT_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - REPO_MATCH / REPO_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - STATUS_MATCH / STATUS_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-stuck-run-audit/scripts/stuck-run-audit.sh

JSON output + fail gate:

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

Run against bundled fixtures:

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