GitHub Actions Timeout Risk Audit

Use this skill to find GitHub Actions jobs that are timing out or trending dangerously close to timeout limits.

What this skill does

  • Reads one or more run JSON exports (gh run view --json ...)
  • Calculates per-job runtime (completedAt - startedAt)
  • Flags risk severity by configured timeout threshold:
  • warn when runtime exceeds WARN_RATIO * JOB_TIMEOUT_SECONDS
  • critical when runtime exceeds CRITICAL_RATIO * JOB_TIMEOUT_SECONDS
  • always critical for jobs with conclusion=timed_out
  • Groups repeated jobs by repository + workflow + job name
  • Emits text or JSON output for CI gates / dashboards

Inputs

Optional: - RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json) - TOP_N (default: 20) - OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text) - JOB_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (default: 3600) - WARN_RATIO (default: 0.80) - CRITICAL_RATIO (default: 0.95) - FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0) - WORKFLOW_MATCH, WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional) - JOB_MATCH, JOB_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,url,repository,jobs 
  > artifacts/github-actions/run-<run-id>.json

Ensure jobs includes startedAt, completedAt, and conclusion.

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' 
JOB_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=3600 
WARN_RATIO=0.85 
CRITICAL_RATIO=0.95 
bash skills/github-actions-timeout-risk-audit/scripts/timeout-risk-audit.sh

JSON output + fail gate:

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

Repo/workflow filter:

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

Run with bundled fixtures:

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

Output contract

  • Exit 0 in reporting mode
  • Exit 1 when FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 and at least one critical instance exists
  • Text output includes summary, thresholds, and top timeout-risk jobs
  • JSON output includes summary, ranked groups, and critical_instances
