🔍 Optimization Opportunities

  1. Test Coverage Improver — 2,827K tokens in a single run

    • At 2.8M tokens/run this is the largest consumer by far; review whether the full codebase scan can be scoped more narrowly
    • Consider splitting into smaller targeted runs (per-package or per-changed-file)

  2. API Surface & Export Audit — avg 611K tokens/run (4 runs in 9 hrs)

    • Multiple runs with high variance (383K–861K) suggest non-deterministic scoping
    • Check if the agent is re-reading already-audited files across retry runs

  3. Build Test Suite — avg 484K tokens/run (5 runs)

    • High variance (304K–743K) may indicate the agent reads large test artifacts or logs
    • Consider limiting context window by pre-filtering relevant files before agent invocation

  4. CI/CD Gap Assessment — 588K tokens in a single one-off run

    • No immediate action needed, but flag if this becomes recurring

Workflows Without Token Data

Runs where token_usage was null or 0 — these workflows may not have the api-proxy sidecar enabled, or ran as the first daily instance before any API calls were made:

  • Daily Copilot Token Usage Analyzer (1 run) — this current run
  • Daily Claude Token Optimization Advisor (1 run)
Historical Trend

This appears to be an early report — no previous token usage report issues were found to compare against. Baseline established today: 15.5M tokens / 50 runs over ~9.4 hours.
