Automated workflow metrics and analytics

Metrics and analytics with GitHub Agentic Workflows means collecting recent GitHub Actions activity on a schedule and storing a compact snapshot for later trend analysis. This example works with any repository that uses GitHub Actions.

# Metrics Collector

Collect GitHub Actions activity from the last 24 hours. For each workflow, record total, successful, failed, cancelled, and skipped runs, plus execution duration and queue time when available.

Write a compact JSON snapshot to `metrics/YYYY-MM-DD.json` in repo memory. Include the collection window, repository and workflow names, and any missing or incomplete data. Do not create issues, comments, or pull requests.

Repository memory lets later workflows compare snapshots without adding reports to the default branch. The agent receives read-only GitHub permissions and has only the noop safe output, so collection cannot directly mutate issues or pull requests.
