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
