💡 Insights & Recommendations

High-Cost Workflows

The following workflows account for the majority of token consumption:

1. Tidy - $827.97 (21.9% of total)

   • Observation: Highest overall consumption with 58 runs. Averages 475K tokens per run, indicating comprehensive code maintenance operations.
   • Recommendation: Review if all Tidy operations need full agent capabilities. Consider breaking into smaller, focused tasks or using rule-based automation for simpler cleanup operations.

2. CI Cleaner - $328.79 (8.7% of total)

   • Observation: Only 6 runs but extremely high average cost per run ($54.80). Each run consumes 1.8M tokens on average.
   • Recommendation: This workflow appears to be doing extensive analysis. Investigate if the scope can be reduced or if some operations can be pre-filtered before agent involvement.

3. Issue Monster - $313.23 (8.3% of total)

   • Observation: 59 runs with moderate per-run cost ($5.31). High frequency suggests it's a scheduled or trigger-based workflow.
   • Recommendation: Very efficient per-run cost. Consider this a well-optimized workflow. Monitor for any sudden increases in token usage.

4. jsweep - JavaScript Unbloater - $185.99 (4.9% of total)

   • Observation: Only 3 runs but exceptionally high per-run cost ($62.00). Averages 2M tokens per run.
   • Recommendation: This appears to be a complex refactoring workflow. Consider adding checkpoints or breaking the work into phases to reduce single-run token consumption.

5. Spec-Kit Execute - $162.00 (4.3% of total)

   • Observation: 9 runs with moderate cost ($18.00/run). Consistent execution pattern suggests regular maintenance.
   • Recommendation: Evaluate if spec kit execution can be optimized with better prompt engineering or more focused scopes.

Optimization Opportunities

1. Batch Processing for Scheduled Workflows

   • Affected Workflows: Issue Monster, Tidy, Campaign Manager
   • Potential Savings: ~$400/month
   • Action: Group related tasks and process in batches rather than individual runs. For example, Tidy could accumulate changes and run less frequently with larger scope.

2. Pre-filtering and Scoping

   • Affected Workflows: CI Cleaner, jsweep, Spec-Kit Execute
   • Potential Savings: ~$300/month
   • Action: Add pre-checks to determine if agent involvement is needed. Use simple scripts to filter out cases where no action is required.

3. Token Usage Monitoring per Workflow

   • Affected Workflows: All
   • Potential Savings: ~$200/month
   • Action: Implement per-workflow token budgets and alerts. Set thresholds for abnormal token usage to catch runaway processes early.

4. Prompt Optimization

   • Affected Workflows: High per-run cost workflows (CI Cleaner, jsweep, The Great Escapi)
   • Potential Savings: ~$150/month
   • Action: Review and optimize prompts to be more concise while maintaining effectiveness. Remove unnecessary context or redundant instructions.

Efficiency Trends

• Token efficiency: Average of 382,277 tokens per run across all workflows
• Cost efficiency: Most workflows under $20/run are well-optimized
• Run patterns: Scheduled workflows (Tidy, Issue Monster) dominate frequency
• Success rate: 84.5% success rate is good but indicates room for improvement in error handling

Workflow Categories by Cost Efficiency

Highly Efficient (< $5/run):

• Smoke Copilot Playwright ($3.80/run)
• Smoke Copilot ($4.07/run)
• Smoke Copilot No Firewall ($5.39/run - threshold)

Moderately Efficient ($5-$20/run):

• Issue Monster ($5.31/run)
• Tidy ($14.28/run)
• Glossary Maintainer ($12.81/run)

High-Cost Operations (> $20/run):

• jsweep - JavaScript Unbloater ($62.00/run)
• CI Cleaner ($54.80/run)
• The Great Escapi ($51.66/run)
