GitHub Actions Runner Queue

SkillCloud & infra

Inspect GitHub Actions self-hosted runner queues when a developer provides a run URL, job URL, runner label, or reports a blocked CI job, or invokes /qv-devops-runner-queue.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the GitHub Actions Runner Queue skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by tetherto/qvac in .agents/skills/qv-devops-runner-queue/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Run the read-only helper once and present its Markdown output directly without reformatting or a code fence:

node .agents/skills/qv-devops-runner-queue/scripts/inspect-runner-queue.mjs \
  "<job-url|run-url|runner-label>" \
  --repo "owner/repo"

For labels, --repo defaults to tetherto/qvac; URLs supply their repository. Add --json only when requested. Prefer a job URL for its complete scheduling labels. A run URL must contain exactly one active self-hosted job; otherwise show the helper's candidates and ask for a job URL.

If gh is missing or unauthenticated, report the helper error; never start authentication. Do not repeat a query unless the user requests a refresh.

The helper only makes GitHub GET requests. Never cancel, rerun, change runner state, or mutate a repository. Cancellation affects the whole run and requires a separate inspection and confirmation.

Interpretation:

  • job URLs match the complete label set; label input matches exact membership;
  • running order is oldest-started; queued order is an estimate from created_at;
  • durations may include dependencies, gates, or concurrency delays;
  • PR and branch links use the source repository, including forks;
  • results are repository-scoped; no authoritative FIFO position or ETA exists;
  • Markdown shows ten jobs per section; --json keeps all collected jobs.
