GitHub Actions Run Gap Audit

Use this skill to detect workflow groups that have gone unexpectedly quiet (stale triggers, broken schedules, disabled automation, branch drift).

What this skill does

Reads GitHub Actions run JSON exports
Groups by repository + workflow + branch + event
Computes historical cadence (median and p90 interval hours)
Compares latest inactivity gap vs historical cadence
Scores risk severity (ok, warn, critical)
Emits text or JSON for CI checks and automation guardrails

Collect run JSON

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

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' \
MIN_RUNS=5 \
WARN_GAP_MULTIPLIER=2.25 \
bash skills/github-actions-run-gap-audit/scripts/run-gap-audit.sh

JSON output with fail gate:

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

Targeted run-scope triage:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' \
RUN_ID_MATCH='^(88|89)' \
RUN_URL_EXCLUDE='rerun' \
OUTPUT_FORMAT=json \
bash skills/github-actions-run-gap-audit/scripts/run-gap-audit.sh

Run with bundled fixtures:

RUN_GLOB='skills/github-actions-run-gap-audit/fixtures/*.json' \
NOW_ISO='2026-03-07T00:00:00Z' \
bash skills/github-actions-run-gap-audit/scripts/run-gap-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 stale workflow groups
JSON mode prints summary + ranked groups + critical group details
