GitHub Actions Trigger Health Audit

Use this skill to find which GitHub Actions trigger events are driving the highest failure rates.

What this skill does

Reads one or more GitHub Actions run JSON exports

Groups runs by repository + event + workflow

Calculates failure/cancel/timeout rates and average runtime

Flags warning/critical hotspots based on configurable failure-rate thresholds

Supports regex include/exclude filters for repo, workflow, and event

Emits text or JSON output for dashboards and automation gates

Inputs

Optional:

RUN_GLOB (default: artifacts/github-actions/*.json)

TOP_N (default: 20)

OUTPUT_FORMAT (text or json, default: text)

MIN_RUNS (default: 2) — skip low-sample groups

FAIL_WARN_PERCENT (default: 20)

FAIL_CRITICAL_PERCENT (default: 40)

FAIL_ON_CRITICAL (0 or 1, default: 0)

WORKFLOW_MATCH (regex, optional)

WORKFLOW_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)

EVENT_MATCH (regex, optional)

EVENT_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)

REPO_MATCH (regex, optional)

REPO_EXCLUDE (regex, optional)

Collect run JSON

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

Run

Text report:

RUN_GLOB='artifacts/github-actions/*.json' \
MIN_RUNS=3 \
FAIL_WARN_PERCENT=25 \
FAIL_CRITICAL_PERCENT=50 \
bash skills/github-actions-trigger-health-audit/scripts/trigger-health-audit.sh

JSON output with fail gate:

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

Run with bundled fixtures:

RUN_GLOB='skills/github-actions-trigger-health-audit/fixtures/*.json' \
bash skills/github-actions-trigger-health-audit/scripts/trigger-health-audit.sh

Output contract

Exit 0 in report mode (default)

Exit 1 when FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=1 and any group meets critical threshold

Text mode prints summary + ranked trigger health hotspots

JSON mode prints summary + grouped metrics + critical group details
