finops-workflows

description	Analyze workflow runs — frequency, duration, success rates, efficiency. Use when investigating slow CI, high failure rates, or run patterns over time.
args	[repo] [--created RANGE]
allowed-tools	Bash(gh api *), Bash(gh workflow *), Bash(gh repo *), Bash(bash *), Read, TodoWrite
argument-hint	Optional repo (owner/name format, defaults to current repo). Use --created for date range. Use org mode for org-wide analysis.

/finops:workflows

Analyze GitHub Actions workflow runs for a repository - frequency, duration, success rates, and efficiency metrics.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when...	Use a sibling instead when...
You need to analyze workflow run frequency, duration, and trigger distribution	You only need a quick high-level health snapshot — use /finops:overview
You are investigating high failure rates on specific workflows	You want actionable fixes for workflow config waste — use /finops:waste
You need org-wide workflow timing analysis (/finops:workflows org <name>)	You want to compare workflow metrics across many repos — use /finops:compare
You want to identify slow or noisy workflows by duration	You are investigating cache size or stale caches — use /finops:caches

Context

• Current repo URL: !git remote -v

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
repo	Repository in owner/name format	Current repository
--created	Date range filter (e.g., >=2026-03-01)	None (last 100 runs)
org <name>	Org-wide analysis (use instead of repo)	-

Execution

Per-repo analysis (default)

bash "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/workflow-runs.sh" $ARGS

Org-wide analysis

When the user requests org-wide analysis, use the org script:

bash "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/workflow-runs-org.sh" $ARGS

Output Format
