Q Workflow Optimization Report

Issues Found (from live data)

agent-performance-analyzer

• Log Analysis: 5 runs in last 7 days, 979K total tokens (~196K avg/run), execution drift 0–20 turns
• Run IDs Analyzed: 25252418996, 24977099842, 25148001674, 25091475936, 24948494564
• Issues Identified:
  • No inline agents despite 5 distinct phases — main model handles all data extraction
  • Execution drift (0–20 turns) suggests inconsistent entry into data-collection phase
  • Phase 1 (memory reads) and Phase 3 (pattern classification) are pure extraction tasks — ideal for a smaller model

Changes Made

agent-performance-analyzer (.github/workflows/agent-performance-analyzer.md)

• Added inline-agents: true to features frontmatter
• Phase 1: Added metrics-extractor sub-agent (claude-haiku-4-5) to read all shared repo-memory files and return structured JSON — eliminates repeated file-read turns by the main model
• Phase 3: Added pattern-detector sub-agent (claude-haiku-4-5) to classify agent behavioral patterns from profiles — simple classification task that does not need the full model

Expected Improvements

• ~15–20% token reduction per run by offloading extraction/classification to haiku
• More consistent turn count (Phase 1 delegation reduces main-model iteration)
• Faster Phase 1 + Phase 3 execution

Validation

All modified workflows compiled successfully:

• ✅ agent-performance-analyzer

Note: .lock.yml regenerated automatically after merge.
