Decisions Harness Optimize
Use this only after decisions-harness-audit has produced verified findings. The job is to apply safe, reversible fixes with evidence.
Workflow
- Read the audit artifacts and classify each finding as confirmed, needs scoping, rejected, or user-owned.
- Back up every file before changing it.
- Apply the smallest confirmed fix first.
- Validate after each change with the benchmark command from the audit.
- End with PASS/MISS/SKIP rows and artifact paths for Decisions workflow memory.
Allowed Fix Patterns
- Remove dead references from config after backup and parse validation.
- Move unused clutter into a dated backup/archive folder.
- Narrow over-broad hooks or projected commands only when the audit proves the intended trigger.
- Refresh stale skill projections from the canonical
skills/ source.
- Add rotation for unbounded state files, keeping recent lines and archiving the rest.
Hard Stops
- Do not delete; move to backup/archive.
- Do not loosen permissions, sandboxing, branch protections, auth, or deployment gates.
- Do not touch user secrets except to report and recommend rotation.
- Do not import AgentManager runtime code as part of optimization.
- Do not apply recommendations that were not verified.
