GitHub Actions Queue Latency Audit

Use this skill to quantify where workflows are waiting in queue before jobs start.

What this skill does

  • Reads one or more GitHub Actions run JSON exports (from gh run view --json ...)
  • Computes per-job queue wait (startedAt - createdAt) and runtime duration (completedAt - startedAt)
  • Groups repeated jobs by repository + workflow + job name
  • Ranks hotspots by worst queue wait and average queue wait
  • Flags warning/critical queue waits with configurable thresholds
  • Emits output as human-readable text or machine-readable JSON

Inputs

Optional: - RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json) - TOP_N (default: 20) - OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text) - QUEUE_WARN_SECONDS (default: 120) - QUEUE_CRITICAL_SECONDS (default: 300) - FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0) — exit non-zero when any job instance hits/exceeds critical queue wait - WORKFLOW_MATCH (regex, optional) - WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - JOB_MATCH (regex, optional) - JOB_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - REPO_MATCH (regex, optional) - REPO_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' 
TOP_N=15 
QUEUE_WARN_SECONDS=180 
QUEUE_CRITICAL_SECONDS=420 
bash skills/github-actions-queue-latency-audit/scripts/queue-latency-audit.sh

JSON output for dashboards:

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

Filter to one repo/workflow family:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
REPO_MATCH='^flowcreatebot/' 
WORKFLOW_MATCH='(CI|Build|Test)' 
bash skills/github-actions-queue-latency-audit/scripts/queue-latency-audit.sh

Run with bundled fixtures:

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

Output contract

  • Exit 0 in reporting mode (default)
  • Exit 1 if FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 and at least one job instance has queue wait >= QUEUE_CRITICAL_SECONDS
  • In text mode: prints summary + top queue hotspots
  • In json mode: prints summary + grouped hotspot records + raw offending instances
