💡 Insights & Recommendations

High-Cost Workflows

The following workflows account for the majority of token consumption:

1. CI Failure Doctor - $0.41 (14.2% of total)

   • Observation: Moderate cost with 14 runs at $0.0290 per run
   • Recommendation: Monitor for unexpected increases; current efficiency is reasonable

2. Issue Monster - $0.39 (13.6% of total)

   • Observation: High-frequency workflow with 43 runs
   • Recommendation: Review if all runs are necessary; consider reducing schedule frequency or adding run conditions

3. CI Cleaner - $0.24 (8.5% of total)

   • Observation: High per-run cost ($0.1212 per run)
   • Recommendation: Analyze prompt engineering and tool usage to reduce token consumption per run

Efficiency Patterns

Most Efficient Workflow:

• AI Moderator: $0.0000 per run
  • This workflow demonstrates excellent token efficiency
  • Consider using its patterns as a template for other workflows

Least Efficient Workflow:

• CI Cleaner: $0.1212 per run
  • Higher cost per run suggests optimization opportunities
  • Review prompt complexity, tool usage, and task scope

Most Active Workflow:

• Issue Monster: 43 runs
  • High activity level - ensure schedule is appropriate for task requirements
  • Consider if runs could be consolidated or triggered more selectively

Optimization Opportunities

Based on the analysis, here are specific recommendations:

1. Focus on Top 5 Workflows (47.7% of cost)

   • These workflows offer the highest ROI for optimization efforts
   • Estimated potential savings: ~$0.27 (assuming 20% reduction)
   • Action: Audit prompt engineering, tool selection, and task complexity

2. Review High-Frequency Schedules

   • Workflows running 20+ times may benefit from schedule optimization
   • Consider adding conditions to skip unnecessary runs
   • Action: Review schedule triggers and add skip conditions where appropriate

3. Standardize Efficient Patterns

   • Workflows with low per-run costs demonstrate best practices
   • Document and share these patterns across the team
   • Action: Create internal guidelines based on efficient workflow designs

4. Monitor Token Usage Trends

   • Track daily consumption to identify unexpected spikes
   • Set up alerts for workflows exceeding cost thresholds
   • Action: Implement automated monitoring and alerting
