github-actions-failure-hour-audit
Audit GitHub Actions failure timing by day/hour to surface recurring outage windows and staffing hotspots.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/daniellummis/github-actions-failure-hour-auditGitHub Actions Failure Hour Audit
Use this skill to identify when failures cluster so teams can target flaky time windows and on-call coverage.
What this skill does
- Reads one or more GitHub Actions workflow run JSON exports
- Keeps only failure-like conclusions (
failure,cancelled,timed_out,action_required,startup_failure) - Buckets failures into day/hour windows (with optional timezone offset)
- Ranks windows by severity using failure-run thresholds
- Emits text or JSON output for dashboards or CI gates
