CI Audit (ci-audit)

Measures where GitHub Actions minutes and wait time actually go, then ships ranked fixes as small PRs with warm-cache before/after numbers.

Dev & CodingIntermediate★ 890⑂ 77AI score 9/10Last updated: Nov 5, 2026

What it does

  • Runs the bundled scripts/ci_audit.py to measure repo inventory, billable minutes per workflow over 30 days, queue/setup/run time per job, per-step seconds for a single run, and every cron as runs-per-month.
  • Models real cost: per-job minute rounding plus the macOS runner 10× multiplier.
  • Surfaces the cheap wins first — quietly failing scheduled pipelines, a 30-second hourly cron billed as 730 min/month, cache misses, redundant steps — and ranks them by estimated minutes saved.
  • Ships only what you approve: issue → branch → small PR, with CI rerun so the cache is warm and before/after numbers (and test counts) in the PR body. Experiments that measure slower get closed with their data.

Who it's for

  • Teams over their included GitHub Actions minutes or watching CI spend
  • Developers and platform engineers blocked on slow pipelines
  • Tech leads auditing a whole portfolio of repos at once

Examples

  1. "Why is CI so slow?" — split the top repos' jobs into queue vs setup vs run to tell a caching problem from genuine test time.
  2. "We're over our Actions minutes" — compare org billing API totals against per-workflow measurements, prove two hourly crons dominate the bill, and PR a schedule change.
  3. "Nightly pipeline has failed for six months" — read the scheduled run logs, run actionlint on the workflow files, fix, then verify on the next real scheduled run.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/ci-audit folder from the GitHub repo coreyhaines31/makerskills into my ~/.claude/skills/ci-audit/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/coreyhaines31/makerskills.git /tmp/makerskills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/makerskills/skills/ci-audit ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal. This skill needs the GitHub CLI: check with gh --version, install it if missing, then run gh auth login.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/coreyhaines31/makerskills.git /tmp/makerskills
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill in: cp -r /tmp/makerskills/skills/ci-audit ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Verify with ls ~/.claude/skills/ci-audit — you should see SKILL.md, scripts/, and references/.
  6. Restart Claude Code and type "/ci-audit" or "audit our CI". Python 3 must be available; org-level billing data also needs admin access to the billing API.
