GitHub Actions Mainline Health Audit
Use this skill to detect unstable workflows on protected branches (main/master/release) before they silently degrade delivery confidence.
What this skill does
- Reads GitHub Actions run JSON exports
- Filters to mainline/protected branches (configurable regex)
- Groups by repository + workflow + branch + event
- Scores risk using:
- failure rate
- current consecutive failure streak
- days since last successful run
- Flags warning/critical groups based on configurable thresholds
- Emits text or JSON output for CI checks and ops dashboards
