   • Fully recovered from prior update_pull_request failures
   • Example issue: [aw-failures] [aw-fix] P1: PR Sous Chef — update_pull_request (branch-from-base) rejected by "verified signatures" rule, failing [Content truncated due to length] #47753 (fix issue created but runs succeeding)

Agents Needing Improvement 📉

1. Q (Quality: 25/100, Effectiveness: 15/100)

   • 8/16 AR (50%) today — persistent since quality gate PR Add shared prompt quality gate for plateaued agent-review workflows #43527 still unmerged
   • Pattern: 100% AR on all attempts; zero successful outputs since January
   • DO NOT RE-FILE — existing issues cover this

2. AI Moderator (Quality: 35/100, Effectiveness: 30/100)

   • 8/16 AR (50%) today — Codex engine 404 persisting
   • DO NOT RE-FILE — [aw] AI Moderator produced no safe outputs #44241 + #aw_ai_mod_jul8 cover this

3. CWI (Quality: 38/100, Effectiveness: 35/100)

   • 3/3 AR today (100%) — was recovered Jul 8, regressed again
   • CI regression signal; correlates with CGO pattern

4. CGO (Quality: 38/100, Effectiveness: 35/100)

   • 2/2 AR today (100%) — was stabilizing Jul 8, fully regressed
   • Existing: [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #11644 #38777

5. Doc Build - Deploy (Quality: N/A, Effectiveness: 10/100)

   • 3/3 AR — blocked on GitHub Pages environment approval ([Incident] Incident: github-pages deployment failure — Doc Build Deploy run #28636998429 #43102)
   • No new action; approval pending

6. Agentic Commands (Quality: 40/100, Effectiveness: 38/100)

   • 8/16 AR (50%) today — persistent; existing [aw] Impeccable Skills Reviewer failed #43079

Inactive / Zero-Output Agents (Today's Sample)

• Discussion Task Miner, Workflow Normalizer, Daily File Diet — in-progress or not yet completed; monitoring

Quality & Effectiveness Analysis

Output Quality Distribution (estimated from run data)

• Excellent (80-100): 6 agents (PR Sous Chef, Avenger, Auto-Triage, PR Triage, Issue Monster, CI)
• Good (60-79): 4 agents
• Fair (40-59): 2 agents (Agentic Commands, Design Decision Gate)
• Poor (<40): 4 agents (Q, AI Moderator, CWI, CGO)

Effectiveness by Category

• Orchestrators (Campaign, Health, Performance): 61/100 avg — stable
• PR workflow agents (PR Sous Chef, PR Triage): 87/100 — strong recovery
• Infra/CI agents (Q, CGO, CWI, CI): 42/100 — dragged down by persistent ARs
• Content agents (Auto-Triage, Issue Monster, Bot Detection): 83/100 — healthy

PR Merge Rate (Jul 8–24 window, from memory)

• 11 PRs merged week of Jul 8 (high-watermark)
• No new merge data available today (metrics collector still down)

Behavioral Patterns

Productive Patterns ✅

• PR Sous Chef recovery — Fixed after [aw-failures] [aw-fix] P1: PR Sous Chef — update_pull_request (branch-from-base) rejected by "verified signatures" rule, failing [Content truncated due to length] #47753 tracked the update_pull_request branch-from-base issue
• Orchestrator coordination — Campaign Manager + Agent Performance meta-orchestrators sharing alerts without duplicate filings
• Auto-Triage + PR Triage — Complementary outputs covering both issues and PRs consistently

Problematic Patterns ⚠️

• CGO/CWI oscillation — Both stabilized Jul 8, both regressed by Jul 24. Pattern suggests shared infra dependency (not prompt issue — infra/CI engine). Existing [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #11644 #38777 tracks.
• Q workflow sustained AR — 16+ days of 50–79% AR. Root cause is unmerged quality gate PR Add shared prompt quality gate for plateaued agent-review workflows #43527. Zero agent-side fix possible until PR merges.
• AI Moderator Codex 404 — 16+ days. Engine-level fix required; no prompt change will help.
• Metrics Collector stale — Still down since Jan 2026 ([aw] Metrics Collector failed #43292). Quality scores are estimated; actual run-time metrics unavailable. This limits confidence in numeric scores.

Coverage Analysis

Well-Covered Areas ✅

• PR management (Triage, Sous Chef, Code Review)
• Issue lifecycle (Auto-Triage, Issue Monster, Avenger)
• Daily reporting (AIC Consumption, Documentation Quality, Evals)

Coverage Gaps ⚠️

• Security vulnerability tracking — no dedicated agent active
• Q workflow area — effectively uncovered for 16+ days due to 100% AR

Recommendations

High Priority

1. Merge PR Add shared prompt quality gate for plateaued agent-review workflows #43527 immediately — Q workflow has been at 50-79% AR for 16+ days. This is the single highest-leverage unblocking action. Zero agent effort can fix it; human merge needed.

2. Merge PR fix: reduce post-completion idle watchdog and add cleanup timeouts to prevent Copilot CLI hang on exit #44254 — CLI hang-on-exit fix affects Impeccable, PR Code Quality Reviewer, Test Quality Sentinel, Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer cluster. Still open since Jul 8.

3. Switch AI Moderator engine from Codex → Copilot — 16 days of Codex 404 failure. Quick config change in workflow file.

Medium Priority

4. CGO/CWI infra investigation — Both oscillate in sync, suggesting shared compute or runner pool issue. [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #11644 #38777 should be escalated to infra team if still not resolved.

5. Metrics Collector ([aw] Metrics Collector failed #43292) — 6 months of stale metrics limits analysis quality. Prioritize fix to restore actual runtime data.

Low Priority

6. Design Decision Gate + Matt Pocock Skills Reviewer — Both show 1 success today (possible improvement from last Jul 8 state). Continue monitoring before deprecation decision. Revisit in next report.

Trends (Jul 8 → Jul 24)

• Overall quality score: 63 → 61/100 (↓ slight regression)
• Average effectiveness: 64 → 62/100 (↓ slight regression)
• PR Sous Chef: Failure → Full recovery ✅
• CGO/CWI: Stabilizing Jul 8 → Regressed ⚠️
• Persistent blocker PRs Add shared prompt quality gate for plateaued agent-review workflows #43527 and fix: reduce post-completion idle watchdog and add cleanup timeouts to prevent Copilot CLI hang on exit #44254: Still open after 16 days 🚨

Actions Taken This Run

• Generated this performance report discussion
• No new issues filed (all active problems have existing tracking)
• Updated agent-performance-latest.md and shared-alerts.md in shared memory

Next Steps

1. 🚨 Human action required: Merge PR Add shared prompt quality gate for plateaued agent-review workflows #43527 (Q quality gate) and PR fix: reduce post-completion idle watchdog and add cleanup timeouts to prevent Copilot CLI hang on exit #44254 (CLI hang fix)
2. Fix AI Moderator engine config (Codex → Copilot)
3. Escalate CGO/CWI infra oscillation in [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #11644 #38777 if not progressed
4. Restore Metrics Collector ([aw] Metrics Collector failed #43292) for proper data-driven scoring
