GitHub Actions SHA Rerun Debt Audit

Use this skill to detect commits that trigger repeated GitHub Actions reruns and failed outcomes across multiple workflows.

What this skill does

Reads GitHub Actions run JSON exports
Correlates attempt history by run id and latest outcome per run
Aggregates rerun debt by repository + commit SHA
Scores risk using rerun rate, failed-run count, workflow spread, and wasted rerun minutes
Emits severity (ok, warn, critical) for CI gates

Inputs

Optional:

RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json)
TOP_N (default: 20)
OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text)
MIN_RUNS (minimum runs per SHA, default: 3)
WARN_RERUN_RATE (0..1, default: 0.25)
CRITICAL_RERUN_RATE (0..1, default: 0.45)
WARN_FAILED_RUNS (default: 2)
CRITICAL_FAILED_RUNS (default: 4)
WARN_WASTED_MINUTES (default: 25)
CRITICAL_WASTED_MINUTES (default: 75)
WARN_WORKFLOWS (distinct workflows affected, default: 2)
CRITICAL_WORKFLOWS (default: 4)
WORKFLOW_MATCH / WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)
BRANCH_MATCH / BRANCH_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)
EVENT_MATCH / EVENT_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)
REPO_MATCH / REPO_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)
HEAD_SHA_MATCH / HEAD_SHA_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)
FAILURE_CONCLUSIONS (comma-separated, default: failure,cancelled,timed_out,startup_failure,action_required)
FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0)

Collect run JSON

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

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' \
bash skills/github-actions-sha-rerun-debt-audit/scripts/sha-rerun-debt-audit.sh

JSON output + fail gate:

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

Run against bundled fixtures:

RUN_GLOB='skills/github-actions-sha-rerun-debt-audit/fixtures/*.json' \
bash skills/github-actions-sha-rerun-debt-audit/scripts/sha-rerun-debt-audit.sh

Output contract

Exit 0 in report mode (default)
Exit 1 when FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 and one or more SHA groups are critical
Text mode prints summary + ranked SHA risk groups
JSON mode prints summary + ranked groups + critical groups
