Agent Performance Report — Week of 2026-05-27

[github-actions[bot]]

Executive Summary

• Agents analyzed: 14 active workflow groups (~236 total workflows)
• Quality score: 74/100 (↔ plateau — 4th consecutive flat week)
• Effectiveness: 72/100 (↑1)
• Ecosystem health: 90/100 (↑20 from last week 🎉)
• Top performers: copilot-swe-agent, Lint Monster, spec-enforcer/extractor
• Needs improvement: failure-reporters (duplicates), daily-reports (100% fail), CGO/CJS build

⚠️ Infrastructure-blocking is the dominant fleet pattern — 5 of 9 active agent groups are blocked by platform-level issues (safe-outputs permissions, CLI failures, CGO build breakage).

Performance Rankings

Top Performing Agents 🏆

1. Lint Monster (Quality: 90/100, Effectiveness: 85/100)

   • Highest quality in fleet; consistent performer
   • No infrastructure issues, reliable output

2. copilot-swe-agent (Quality: 88/100, Effectiveness: 84/100)

   • Merge rate: 67% (↑6pp week-over-week) — 10 merges in last 15 PRs
   • 6 merges on May 27 alone (fix: suppress false-positive, deps bump, merge-main target, manualmutex, CGO fix, etc.)
   • 3 WIPs in flight; throughput high but WIP accumulation needs monitoring

3. github-actions spec-enforcer/extractor (Quality: 82/100, Effectiveness: 80/100)

   • Perfect 1.0 merge rate (3/3)
   • Focused, narrow scope; consistent delivery

4. Contribution Check (Quality: 70/100, Effectiveness: 60/100)

   • 25% failure rate due to intermittent safe-outputs permission issue
   • Core logic is solid when it runs

Agents Needing Improvement 📉

1. github-actions failure-reporters (Quality: 55/100, Effectiveness: 45/100)

   • 20 issues/day, 60%+ duplicate rate — severe noise
   • Dedup issue filed in prior run; needs validation
   • Action: Verify dedup PR landed and is reducing volume

2. github-actions daily-reports (Quality: 30/100, Effectiveness: 10/100)

   • 100% failure rate for 5+ days (Daily News, Daily Issues Report Generator)
   • Execute Copilot CLI step failing; Daily Fact (Codex CLI) also 100% fail
   • Action: Issue #aw_copilot_cli filed this run (see below)

3. CGO/CJS build (Quality: 20/100, Effectiveness: 10/100)

   • P0 [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #8016 #35028: 37% failure rate on push to main
   • 90+ days of persistent failures (previously [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #2565 #29669, now [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #8016 #35028)
   • Action: Engineering escalation needed

Inactive / Fully Blocked Agents

• 87/236 workflows with no recent runs — review for deprecation
• Daily AW Cross-Repo Compile Check: 100% fail (cache-memory git failure)
• Super Linter Report: 100% fail (infrastructure issue)
• Daily Agentic Workflow Token Usage Audit: 100% fail (setup job failure)

Behavioral Pattern Analysis

Consistent Performers ✅

• spec-enforcer/extractor — perfect merge rate, focused scope
• Lint Monster — fleet anchor, no issues

Infrastructure Blocking 🔴 (dominant pattern)

5 of 9 agent groups affected:

• PR Sous Chef (21% fail) — safe-outputs permission blocked
• Contribution Check (25% fail) — same root cause
• Agentic Maintenance (26% fail) — untracked infra failure
• CGO/CJS build (37% fail) — P0 build regression
• daily-reports (100% fail) — Copilot/Codex CLI unavailable

Over-Creation / Duplication ⚠️

• failure-reporters: 20 issues/day, 60% duplicates — worst duplicate rate in fleet
• copilot-swe-agent: 15 PRs / 3 WIPs — high throughput but WIP debt accumulating

Under-Creation 📉

• daily-reports: 0 effective outputs (fully blocked)
• CGO/CJS: near-zero useful output despite running

Scope Creep

• None detected across all agents ✅

Ecosystem Coverage

Well-Covered Areas

• Code quality (Lint Monster, Static Analysis, Code Simplifier)
• Dependency management (Dependabot Checker, Go Module Review)
• PR review automation (copilot-swe-agent, Contribution Check, PR Sous Chef)
• Spec enforcement (spec-enforcer/extractor)

Coverage Gaps

• Daily digests effectively offline (5+ days, no Copilot/Codex CLI)
• Cross-repo compile checks offline (cache-memory issue)
• Token usage audit offline (setup failure)

Redundancy

• Multiple failure-reporter agents may overlap; consolidation opportunity once dedup is in place

Key Findings

Positive Signals ✅

1. Ecosystem health score: 90/100 (↑20 from 70/100 last week) — biggest single-week improvement in recorded history
2. copilot-swe-agent merge rate 67% (↑6pp) — sustained improvement trajectory
3. Compilation: 100% — all 236 workflows have valid lock files
4. Workflow Health Manager now operational and providing strong coordination signal

Systemic Issues ⚠️

1. safe-outputs permission blocking (P1) — systemic platform bug affecting PR Sous Chef, Contribution Check, Agentic Maintenance
2. Copilot/Codex CLI execution failure (P1, new issue filed) — 5+ days, 3 workflows completely offline
3. Quality plateau at 74/100 — 4th consecutive flat week; infrastructure fixes are prerequisite to improvement

Recommendations

High Priority

1. Fix safe-outputs permission blocking — affects 3+ agents; treat as platform incident, not individual workflow issue
2. Investigate Copilot/Codex CLI failure (see issue filed this run) — 5+ days offline, immediate investigation needed
3. CGO build [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #8016 #35028 — engineering escalation, not solvable at workflow level

Medium Priority

4. Validate failure-reporter dedup — confirm issue from prior run reduced duplicate rate below 20%
5. Monitor copilot-swe-agent WIP accumulation — 3 open WIPs; alert if reaches 5+
6. Review 87 inactive workflows — run a deprecation pass, target 20% reduction

Low Priority

7. Promote spec-enforcer pattern — 100% merge rate is a model for focused-scope agents
8. Document safe-outputs failure modes — add to agent design guide once root cause found

Trends

Metric	This Week	Last Week	Δ
Quality score	74/100	74/100	↔ (plateau)
Effectiveness	72/100	71/100	↑1
Ecosystem health	90/100	70/100	↑20 ✅
copilot-swe-agent merge rate	67%	61%	↑6pp ✅
Failure issues/day	~20	~14	↑43% ⚠️
Compilation rate	100%	100%	↔ ✅
Active workflows (runs)	149/236	~149/236	↔

Actions Taken This Run

• Filed issue for persistent Copilot/Codex CLI execution failure (Daily News, Daily Issues, Daily Fact)
• Identified safe-outputs permission blocking as systemic P1 (tracked in shared-alerts)
• Pattern-detector confirms infrastructure-blocking as dominant fleet pattern (5/9 agents)

Next Steps

1. Engineering team: address safe-outputs permission regression
2. Investigate Copilot CLI binary availability in runners (new issue)
3. Monitor CGO [CGO] Workflow failure on main - Run #8016 #35028 for resolution
4. Validate failure-reporter dedup effectiveness
5. Next report: 2026-06-03
