Performance Rankings

Top Performing Agents 🏆

1. Copilot SWE Agent (Q: 92/100, E: 91/100) — 30 PRs merged Jul 4; 71% merge rate (50-PR window). Resolved CI P1 same day (fix: remove unused context import breaking CI builds in parser integration tests #43323). Quality PRs: eslint-factory: add gh-aw-custom/prefer-number-isnan rule for unsafe global isNaN usage #43365, Resolve require-async-entrypoint-catch by binding, not bare name #43349, fix(create-issue): emit deduplicate-by-title in compiled handler config #43345.
2. Auto-Triage Issues (Q: 88/100, E: 87/100) — 100% completion; consistent labeling quality.
3. PR Triage Agent (Q: 88/100, E: 86/100) — On-time report ([PR Triage Report] 🤖 PR Triage Report — 2026-07-04 [Run §28706384347] #43385); no missed PRs.
4. Avenger (Q: 84/100, E: 83/100) — 100% completion; no scope creep.
5. Auto-Close Parent Issues (Q: 83/100, E: 82/100) — Accurate detection; no false positives.

Agents Needing Improvement 📉

1. AI Moderator (Q: ~45, E: ~40) — 6 failures in 7 days; dual failure modes (cache_memory_miss + no-safe-outputs). [aw] AI Moderator produced no safe outputs #43352 today. Systemic issue #aw_ai_mod_fix filed (DO NOT RE-FILE).
2. Impeccable Skills Reviewer (Q: ~40, E: ~35) — [aw] Impeccable Skills Reviewer failed #43308 today (recurring engine crash). Oversized prompt likely.
3. Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer (Q: ~42, E: ~38) — [aw] Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer failed #43309 today; 4th failure in 7 days; missing tool dependencies.
4. Sub-Agent Model Resolution Audit (Q: ~35, E: ~30) — [aw] Daily Sub-Agent Model Resolution Audit failed #43335 today; [aw-failures] Daily Sub-Agent Model Resolution Audit 100% red — Codex gpt-5-codex-alpha-2025-11-07 404s (same alpha-snapshot d [Content truncated due to length] #42033 open 10+ days (codex alpha 404).
5. Metrics Collector (Q: ~50, E: ~45) — [aw] Metrics Collector failed #43292 today (engine failure); creates analysis blind spot.

Recurring Failures (No Resolution)

Design Decision Gate (#43319) · GitHub Remote MCP Auth Test (#43330) · Daily Hippo Learn (#43336) · Daily Rendering Scripts Verifier (#43353) · daily-experiment-report (#43355) · Smoke Antigravity (#43368) · Daily Max AI Credits Test (#43379)

Quality & Effectiveness Analysis

Run Outcome Distribution (100-run sample, Jul 4)

Outcome	Count	%
action_required	72	72%
success	19	19%
skipped	5	5%
in_progress	4	4%

⚠️ 72% action_required is a systemic health concern (healthy target: <30%).

Common Quality Issues

1. No-safe-outputs pattern — 5+ agents per day: AI Moderator, Smoke Antigravity, Design Decision Gate
2. Missing tool dependencies — Daily Hippo Learn, Smoke AOAI, PR Sous Chef
3. Stale model references — 9 workflows referencing codex alpha (404 for 10+ days)

PR Merge Rate (Copilot SWE Agent)

• 71% (50-PR window) | 30 merges on Jul 4 alone | CI P1 resolved same day as filed

Behavioral Patterns

Productive ✅

• SWE Agent rapid response: filed P1 (#aw_ci_parser_ctx) → resolved (fix: remove unused context import breaking CI builds in parser integration tests #43323) same day
• Auto-Triage + PR Triage: coordinating cleanly, no conflicts

Problematic ⚠️

• Q/E plateau (3+ weeks): Bug-fixing alone insufficient; prompt design debt is root cause → #aw_quality_plateau filed
• Recurring no-safe-outputs: AI Moderator, Antigravity, Design Decision Gate failing without repair loop
• Codex alpha drift ([aw-failures] Daily Sub-Agent Model Resolution Audit 100% red — Codex gpt-5-codex-alpha-2025-11-07 404s (same alpha-snapshot d [Content truncated due to length] #42033): 9 workflows, 10+ days, zero repair action
• Metrics Collector failure: Analysis infrastructure itself failing; blind spot risk

Recommendations

High Priority

1. Merge BYOK PR fix: detect stream_options HTTP 400 as non-retryable Anthropic BYOK error #43127 — resolves P0 [aw-failures] Copilot BYOK 100% red — SDK driver sends OpenAI stream_options to type=anthropic provider, upstream 400 kills [Content truncated due to length] #43031; streamoptions HTTP 400; PR is ready
2. Codex migration repair campaign ([aw-failures] Daily Sub-Agent Model Resolution Audit 100% red — Codex gpt-5-codex-alpha-2025-11-07 404s (same alpha-snapshot d [Content truncated due to length] #42033, 10+ days, 9 workflows) — escalate to Campaign Manager
3. AI Moderator redesign (#aw_ai_mod_fix) — add fallback safe-output path; fix memory access
4. Prompt quality initiative (#aw_quality_plateau, filed this run) — audit bottom-10 prompts; add quality rubric; target Q≥65 in 4 weeks

Medium Priority

5. Add pre-flight tool verification (reduces missing-tool action_required runs)
6. Consolidate smoke test agents (Copilot/Claude/Codex/Gemini/Antigravity) into shared template
7. Harden Metrics Collector (retry logic; critical infrastructure)

Low Priority

8. Deprecation review: Design Decision Gate, Daily Hippo Learn, daily-experiment-report
9. Standardize report agent formats
10. Add agent retirement workflow

Actions Taken This Run

• Filed #aw_quality_plateau — new issue for 3-week Q/E plateau (prompt improvement initiative)
• Updated agent-performance-latest.md and shared-alerts.md in shared memory
• Identified CI P1 (#aw_ci_parser_ctx) as resolved via fix: remove unused context import breaking CI builds in parser integration tests #43323 today

Next Steps

1. Urgent: Merge BYOK PR fix: detect stream_options HTTP 400 as non-retryable Anthropic BYOK error #43127 ([aw-failures] Copilot BYOK 100% red — SDK driver sends OpenAI stream_options to type=anthropic provider, upstream 400 kills [Content truncated due to length] #43031 P0)
2. This week: Launch Codex migration repair campaign ([aw-failures] Daily Sub-Agent Model Resolution Audit 100% red — Codex gpt-5-codex-alpha-2025-11-07 404s (same alpha-snapshot d [Content truncated due to length] #42033)
3. This week: Begin AI Moderator redesign (#aw_ai_mod_fix)
4. Next sprint: Prompt quality audit (#aw_quality_plateau)
5. Ongoing: Monitor Matt Pocock + Impeccable — deprecate if no improvement in 7 days
