Recommendations
High Priority
None Required - All agents performing at excellent or acceptable levels.
Medium Priority
1. Monitor Security Guard Transient Failures
- Issue: 2 failures out of 8 runs (25% failure rate)
- Root Cause: Infrastructure/environment issues, not agent logic
- Recommendation:
- Monitor for next 2 weeks to determine if issue is persistent
- If persistent, add retry logic to handle transient failures
- Consider increasing timeout for resource-intensive operations
- Estimated Effort: 1-2 hours if retry logic needed
- Expected Impact: Improve success rate from 75% to 90%+
2. Address Infrastructure Health Issues
- Issue: Ecosystem health at 89/100 (down from 97/100)
- Root Causes:
- 1 failing workflow (daily-fact - missing JavaScript module)
- 11 outdated lock files
- Recommendation:
- Fix missing
handle_noop_message.cjsmodule (#14763 auto-created) - Run
make recompileto update outdated lock files
- Fix missing
- Estimated Effort: 1 hour
- Expected Impact: Restore health to 95-97/100
Low Priority
1. Expand UX-Focused Agents
- Opportunity: Add agents focused on CLI user experience improvements
- Examples: Command usability testing, help text quality, error message clarity
- Priority: Low - current CLI quality is good
- Estimated Effort: 4-6 hours to create new workflow
- Expected Impact: Improved user satisfaction
2. Performance Optimization Agents
- Opportunity: Add agents to monitor and optimize runtime performance
- Examples: Slow command detection, memory usage tracking
- Priority: Low - current performance is acceptable
- Estimated Effort: 4-6 hours to create new workflow
- Expected Impact: Faster CLI operations
