GitHub Actions Recovery Latency Audit

Use this skill to measure how quickly workflows recover after failing, and to detect groups that remain red for too long.

What this skill does

Reads GitHub Actions run JSON exports
Groups by repository + workflow + branch + event
Builds failure incidents (first failing run until next success)
Reports recovery latency for closed incidents
Reports unresolved incident count + oldest unresolved age
Scores severity (ok, warn, critical) for triage and CI gates

Inputs

Optional:

RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json)
TOP_N (default: 20)
OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text)
MIN_RUNS (default: 4)
WARN_P95_HOURS (default: 6)
CRITICAL_P95_HOURS (default: 18)
WARN_OPEN_HOURS (default: 12)
CRITICAL_OPEN_HOURS (default: 36)
WARN_OPEN_INCIDENTS (default: 1)
CRITICAL_OPEN_INCIDENTS (default: 2)
NOW_ISO (optional fixed clock for deterministic tests)
WORKFLOW_MATCH / WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex)
BRANCH_MATCH / BRANCH_EXCLUDE (regex)
EVENT_MATCH / EVENT_EXCLUDE (regex)
REPO_MATCH / REPO_EXCLUDE (regex)
FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0)

Collect run JSON

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

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' \
TOP_N=15 \
bash skills/github-actions-recovery-latency-audit/scripts/recovery-latency-audit.sh

JSON + fail gate:

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

Run against bundled fixtures:

RUN_GLOB='skills/github-actions-recovery-latency-audit/fixtures/*.json' \
NOW_ISO='2026-03-07T14:00:00Z' \
bash skills/github-actions-recovery-latency-audit/scripts/recovery-latency-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 recovery-risk groups
JSON mode prints summary + ranked groups + critical groups
