Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.01896 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00758 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00379 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00190 |
Grade A, and why
improve-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
100% identical to improve-agent — 32 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Performance Optimization Workflow
Systematic improvement of existing agents through performance analysis, prompt engineering, and continuous iteration.
[Extended thinking: Agent optimization requires a data-driven approach combining performance metrics, user feedback analysis, and advanced prompt engineering techniques. Success depends on systematic evaluation, targeted improvements, and rigorous testing with rollback capabilities for production safety.]
Phase 1: Performance Analysis and Baseline Metrics
Comprehensive analysis of agent performance using context-manager for historical data collection.
1.1 Gather Performance Data
Use: context-manager
Command: analyze-agent-performance $ARGUMENTS --days 30
Collect metrics including:
- Task completion rate (successful vs failed tasks)
- Response accuracy and factual correctness
- Tool usage efficiency (correct tools, call frequency)
- Average response time and token consumption
- User satisfaction indicators (corrections, retries)
- Hallucination incidents and error patterns
1.2 User Feedback Pattern Analysis
Identify recurring patterns in user interactions:
- Correction patterns: Where users consistently modify outputs
- Clarification requests: Common areas of ambiguity
- Task abandonment: Points where users give up
- Follow-up questions: Indicators of incomplete responses
- Positive feedback: Successful patterns to preserve
1.3 Failure Mode Classification
Categorize failures by root cause:
- Instruction misunderstanding: Role or task confusion
- Output format errors: Structure or formatting issues
- Context loss: Long conversation degradation
- Tool misuse: Incorrect or inefficient tool selection
- Constraint violations: Safety or business rule breaches
- Edge case handling: Unusual input scenarios
1.4 Baseline Performance Report
Generate quantitative baseline metrics:
Performance Baseline:
- Task Success Rate: [X%]
- Average Corrections per Task: [Y]
- Tool Call Efficiency: [Z%]
- User Satisfaction Score: [1-10]
- Average Response Latency: [Xms]
- Token Efficiency Ratio: [X:Y]
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

improve-agent is a command published in the GitHub repository EngineerWithAI/engineerwith-agents (4 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,896 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to improve-agent, differing in 32 lines, and is treated as a copy.

checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
implement
Execute the implementation plan by processing and executing all tasks defined in tasks.md.
