SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It reduces continuous improvement loop blindness by turning GitHub workflow signals and agent cost logs into measurable daily insights and actionable recommendations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Weekly GitHub metrics aggregation: Computes issue throughput, closure rate, PR merge activity, CI run conclusions, queue depth, and spend efficiency across the last 7 days.
  • Pattern detection across failures and bottlenecks: Identifies recurring issue types, agent failure trends, CI instability signals, queue growth, stale work, and skipped items that need manual review.
  • Operational reporting and guided automation: Appends an append-only daily log entry and conditionally proposes meta-improvements (and can trigger self-tuning actions like auto-retrying stale failures via documented commands).

Quick Start

Ask an operator to run "/progress-tracker" to generate the last-7-days metrics, summarize detected patterns, append them to the improvement-loop log, and optionally create meta-improvement issues when issues repeat across 3+ days.

Frequently Asked Questions about progress-tracker

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track continuous improvement loop performance using GitHub metrics?▼

You can track continuous improvement loops by querying GitHub issues, pull requests, and CI run health to compute throughput, closure rates, and queue depth over recent periods. The Skill aggregates these signals and appends them to an append-only markdown log.

How does issue triage and pattern detection work for recurring CI failures?▼

Pattern detection works by analyzing GitHub issues, pull requests, and CI run conclusions to identify recurring issue types, agent failure trends, CI instability signals, and stale work. It flags these recurring bottlenecks for manual review and meta-improvement.

Can I analyze agent spend logs and CI health together for workflow optimization?▼

Yes, you can analyze agent spend logs and CI health together. The Skill reads local agent spend logs alongside GitHub metrics to compute spend efficiency, identify CI instability signals, and detect operational bottlenecks across the last 7 days.

Do I need GitHub labels to manage agent-driven issue resolution queues?▼

Yes, you need GitHub labels to manage agent-driven issue resolution queues. The Skill applies to teams managing labeled work queues and aggregates closure and success metrics by querying these labeled items across repeated workflows.

What is the best way to automate meta-improvement issue creation for process analytics?▼

The best way to automate meta-improvement issue creation is to run the tracker to detect consistent multi-day signals. When issues repeat across 3 or more days, the Skill conditionally creates limited meta-improvement issues and appends daily log entries.

Why are my GitHub workflow metrics not capturing recurring issue bottlenecks?▼

Your GitHub workflow metrics may not capture recurring bottlenecks without dedicated pattern detection across failures. This Skill resolves the blindness by identifying recurring issue types, agent failure trends, and CI instability signals over repeated 7-day periods.
