💡 Key Insights & Recommendations

High-Cost Workflows

The top 3 workflows account for 36.3% of total token consumption:

1. CI Cleaner - $13.66 (13.4% of total)

• Observation: Extremely high token usage per run (6.8M tokens/run) despite perfect success rate
• Average tokens per run: 6.8M (123x higher than repository average)
• Recommendation: Review workflow complexity and consider:
  • Breaking down into smaller, focused tasks
  • Implementing token budget limits per run
  • Caching intermediate results to avoid reprocessing
  • Reviewing prompt engineering to reduce token consumption

2. Agent Persona Explorer - $12.50 (12.3% of total)

• Observation: Second highest consumer with 6.2M tokens per run
• Recommendation: Similar optimization opportunities as CI Cleaner - this workflow may be processing large amounts of data or making many LLM calls

3. CI Failure Doctor - $10.90 (10.7% of total)

• Observation: More efficient per run (908K tokens) but runs frequently (12 times)
• Success rate: 91.7% (1 failure)
• Recommendation: This is a reasonable usage pattern for a diagnostic workflow. Monitor for efficiency improvements but current usage is acceptable.

Efficiency Analysis

Most Efficient Workflows (lowest tokens per run):

• AI Moderator: 35,721 tokens/run (5 runs, 100% success)
• Code Scanning Fixer: 55,244 tokens/run (64 runs, 73.4% success)
• Auto-Triage Issues: 82,741 tokens/run (19 runs, 100% success)

Least Efficient Workflows (highest tokens per run):

• CI Cleaner: 6,828,750 tokens/run
• Agent Persona Explorer: 6,248,962 tokens/run
• jsweep - JavaScript Unbloater: 1,883,165 tokens/run

Key Finding: There's a 191x difference between the most and least efficient workflows, suggesting significant optimization opportunities.

Success Rate & Reliability

Workflows with lower success rates (<80%):

• Code Scanning Fixer: 73.4% success (17 errors, 1 missing tool) - most active workflow with 64 runs
• Issue Monster: 83.3% success (6 errors) - 36 runs

Recommendation: These workflows need reliability improvements:

• Review error logs to identify common failure patterns
• Implement better error handling and retry logic
• Consider adding missing tool checks before execution

🎯 Optimization Opportunities

1. High-Token Workflow Optimization (Potential savings: ~$20-30/month)

• Target workflows: CI Cleaner, Agent Persona Explorer
• Action: Conduct token usage audits on these workflows
• Strategy: Implement prompt optimization, reduce context size, cache results

2. Frequency-Based Optimization (Potential savings: ~$10-15/month)

• Target workflows: Code Scanning Fixer (64 runs), Issue Monster (36 runs)
• Action: Review scheduling frequency and trigger conditions
• Strategy: Implement smarter triggers to reduce unnecessary runs

3. Reliability Improvements (Cost neutral, quality improvement)

• Target workflows: Code Scanning Fixer, Issue Monster
• Action: Fix error patterns and improve success rates
• Strategy: Better error handling, input validation, and missing tool checks

4. Best Practice Adoption (Potential savings: ~$5-10/month)

• Action: Apply patterns from efficient workflows (AI Moderator, Auto-Triage Issues) to similar workflows
• Strategy: Standardize prompt patterns, token budgets, and error handling
