workflow-insights

Detect anti-patterns in agent workflows and compute health scores based on 7 weighted pattern detectors.

When to Use

Use when analyzing agent execution traces, debugging sluggish workflows, or auditing multi-step agent pipelines for inefficiency. The skill evaluates delegation chains, error patterns, resource usage, and tool utilization to produce a 0-100 health score.

Anti-Pattern Detectors

#	Pattern	Weight	Description
1	Repeated Failure	20	Same error appearing 3+ times suggests retry without fix
2	Long Chain	15	Delegation chain exceeding 5 steps suggests over-decomposition
3	Unused Tool	5	Tool registered but never called suggests bloated configuration
4	Redundant Query	10	Same query pattern appearing multiple times suggests missing caching
5	Timeout Pattern	20	Multiple timeouts in sequence suggests resource contention
6	Resource Waste	15	Large context sent to simple tasks suggests poor task routing
7	Error Cascade	15	Error in one step causing errors in 3+ downstream steps suggests missing error boundaries

Health Score

• 80-100: Healthy
• 60-79: Needs attention
• 40-59: Degraded
• 0-39: Critical

Instructions

1. Recall previous workflow analysis with skill_memory_context using predicate workflow:analysis
2. The skill scans query results for the 7 anti-pattern indicators listed above
3. Each detected pattern reduces the health score by its weight (starting from 100)
4. Review detected anti-patterns and address the highest-weight issues first
5. Re-run periodically to track workflow health improvements over time
