[github-actions[bot]]

Summary

• Window evaluated: last 24 full hours (UTC), 2026-08-03T23:38Z to 2026-08-04T23:38Z
• Total runs analyzed: 101 (67 additional runs in the window had no captured agent metadata — logs directory was empty, likely pre-execution failures — and were excluded from classification)
• Detection-enabled runs: 83 (82.2%)
• Regular runs: 18 (17.8%)
• Misconfigured workflows found: 6

Warning

6 misconfigured workflows were detected in this window — see table below.

Comparison Chart

Detection-enabled runs had a higher success rate (95.2%) than regular runs (72.2%), and higher average token usage (36,122 vs 18,946) — consistent with detection runs skewing toward more complex/heavier workflows in this repo.

Misconfigured Workflows

Workflow	Misconfiguration Type	Run Count	Recommended Fix
Smoke Aider	detection-disabled-high-frequency	5	Add gh-aw-detection: true to workflow frontmatter — high-frequency workflow (>3 runs observed) should have detection enabled.
Smoke Goose	detection-disabled-high-frequency	4	Add gh-aw-detection: true to workflow frontmatter — high-frequency workflow (>3 runs observed) should have detection enabled.
Daily Regulatory Report Generator	name-suggests-detection-missing	1	Workflow name implies audit/monitoring intent — add gh-aw-detection: true to frontmatter.
PR Code Quality Reviewer	detection-enabled-run-failed	2	Investigate failed run(s) with detection enabled — check workflow logs for detection-step errors (example run: 30943711376).
Issue Monster	detection-enabled-run-failed	1	Investigate failed run with detection enabled — check workflow logs for detection-step errors (example run: 30946538261).
Daily BYOK Ollama Test	detection-enabled-run-failed	1	Investigate failed run with detection enabled — check workflow logs for detection-step errors (example run: 30957197799).

Note: "Daily Agentic Workflow AIC Usage Audit" was checked against the name-pattern rule but excluded per its documented repository-level opt-out (source-managed from githubnext/agentic-ops).

Note on detection-enabled-run-failed: no dedicated detection-step status is exposed in aw_info.json, so this rule uses overall run conclusion as a proxy for failed detection-enabled runs. Confirm these are genuine detection-step issues (vs. unrelated task failures) before filing fixes.

Note on detection-disabled-high-frequency: run counts here reflect only the 24h window (a lower bound on the 7-day count required by the rule); since 24h ⊆ 7d, any workflow with >3 runs in 24h necessarily has >3 runs in the trailing 7 days, so these are confidently flagged. No workflow alternated between detection-enabled/disabled within the window.

View Historical Trend

Regular-run volume spiked sharply around 2026-07-21–07-24 (up to ~197/day) then dropped off after 2026-07-29, while detection-run volume has been climbing since late July, peaking at 185 on 2026-08-03. Detection success rate has stayed consistently in the high-80s to high-90s range across the 30-day window.

Recommendations

1. Add gh-aw-detection: true to Smoke Aider and Smoke Goose — both run frequently (5 and 4 runs respectively in this 24h window alone) without detection enabled.
2. Add gh-aw-detection: true to Daily Regulatory Report Generator — its name signals an audit/reporting workflow that should be covered by detection.
3. Investigate the failed detection-enabled runs on PR Code Quality Reviewer, Issue Monster, and Daily BYOK Ollama Test to confirm whether failures are detection-step related or unrelated task errors.
4. No workflows showed inconsistent (alternating) gh-aw-detection settings within the 24h window — continue monitoring for config drift in future runs.
