*Contribution Check: all 6 completed, but 3 runs had errors (50% error rate).

Key Insights

🔴 Reliability hotspot: Contribution Check — 3 errors across 6 runs (50% error rate). Highest error-bearing workflow by ratio.

🟡 Execution drift: Auto-Triage Issues — turns varied from 3 to 88 across 12 runs (avg 17.8). Suggests unstable prompt or changing task shape.

🟡 Capability friction: Smoke Copilot — 4 missing tool events across 10 runs; highest missing-tool count in the period.

🟠 Resource intensity: CI Cleaner — consumed 16.4M tokens in a single 46-minute run, making it the single most token-intensive workflow today. One-off runs like this are candidates for audit.

Token Breakdown by Model

Optimization Opportunities

  1. CI Cleaner — Single run consumed 16.4M tokens in 46 minutes. Audit the prompt to understand scope creep; consider adding a token budget or chunking strategy.
  2. Contribution Check — 50% error rate (3/6 runs). Token investment is wasted on failing runs; fix underlying reliability issue to improve ROI.
  3. Auto-Triage Issues — High turn variance (3–88, avg 17.8) across 12 daily runs suggests prompt instability. Investigate what drives high-turn runs to normalize cost.
  4. Daily Syntax Error Quality Check — 8.6M tokens in a single run; consider whether this frequency/scope is warranted or if it can be scoped more narrowly.
  5. Smoke Copilot — 4 missing tool events across 10 runs (highest missing-tool count); fix tool configuration to eliminate wasted retry cycles.
