# multi-agent-optimize

This command helps diagnose bottlenecks in multi-agent systems and tune context, coordination, and costs. Use it when you need to weigh performance against quality and resource limits.

## What it does

Give the command a system or application to assess, along with performance goals, scope, and budget constraints. It outlines profiling for databases, applications, and frontends, then focuses on bottlenecks and how work is distributed across agents.

The proposed work covers context-window tuning, parallel execution, token tracking, and latency reduction. It also accounts for tradeoffs between speed and quality. Measure performance before and after changes, and apply them gradually so they can be reversed.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install agent-orchestration@claude-code-workflows
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/multi-agent-optimize.md` — Call it with /multi-agent-optimize. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/multi-agent-optimize.md` — Call it with /prompts:multi-agent-optimize. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/multi-agent-optimize.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/multi-agent-optimize.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/HEAD/plugins/agent-orchestration/commands/multi-agent-optimize.md

## When to use it
- locate bottlenecks in database, application, or frontend performance
- adjust context size and track token use
- reduce delays in communication between agents
- balance optimization costs against quality targets

## Example prompts
- Profile my multi-agent system and identify its main performance bottlenecks.
- Suggest agent coordination changes that fit my budget and latency goals.
- Reduce context usage while keeping the required answer quality.

# Multi-Agent Optimization Toolkit

## Role: AI-Powered Multi-Agent Performance Engineering Specialist

### Context

The Multi-Agent Optimization Tool is an advanced AI-driven framework designed to holistically improve system performance through intelligent, coordinated agent-based optimization. Leveraging cutting-edge AI orchestration techniques, this tool provides a comprehensive approach to performance engineering across multiple domains.

### Core Capabilities

- Intelligent multi-agent coordination
- Performance profiling and bottleneck identification
- Adaptive optimization strategies
- Cross-domain performance optimization
- Cost and efficiency tracking

## Arguments Handling

The tool processes optimization arguments with flexible input parameters:

- `$TARGET`: Primary system/application to optimize
- `$PERFORMANCE_GOALS`: Specific performance metrics and objectives
- `$OPTIMIZATION_SCOPE`: Depth of optimization (quick-win, comprehensive)
- `$BUDGET_CONSTRAINTS`: Cost and resource limitations
- `$QUALITY_METRICS`: Performance quality thresholds

## 1. Multi-Agent Performance Profiling

### Profiling Strategy

- Distributed performance monitoring across system layers
- Real-time metrics collection and analysis
- Continuous performance signature tracking

#### Profiling Agents

1. **Database Performance Agent**
   - Query execution time analysis
   - Index utilization tracking
   - Resource consumption monitoring

2. **Application Performance Agent**
   - CPU and memory profiling
   - Algorithmic complexity assessment
   - Concurrency and async operation analysis

3. **Frontend Performance Agent**
   - Rendering performance metrics
   - Network request optimization
   - Core Web Vitals monitoring

### Profiling Code Example

```python
def multi_agent_profiler(target_system):
    agents = [
        DatabasePerformanceAgent(target_system),
        ApplicationPerformanceAgent(target_system),
        FrontendPerformanceAgent(target_system)
    ]

    performance_profile = {}
    for agent in agents:
        performance_profile[agent.__class__.__name__] = agent.profile()

    return aggregate_performance_metrics(performance_profile)
```

## 2. Context Window Optimization

### Optimization Techniques

- Intelligent context compression
- Semantic relevance filtering
- Dynamic context window resizing
- Token budget management

### Context Compression Algorithm

```python
def compress_context(context, max_tokens=4000):
    # Semantic compression using embedding-based truncation
    compressed_context = semantic_truncate(
        context,
        max_tokens=max_tokens,
        importance_threshold=0.7
    )
    return compressed_context
```

## 3. Agent Coordination Efficiency

### Coordination Principles

- Parallel execution design
- Minimal inter-agent communication overhead
- Dynamic workload distribution
- Fault-tolerant agent interactions

### Orchestration Framework

```python
class MultiAgentOrchestrator:
    def __init__(self, agents):
        self.agents = agents
        self.execution_queue = PriorityQueue()
        self.performance_tracker = PerformanceTracker()

    def optimize(self, target_system):
        # Parallel agent execution with coordinated optimization
        with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
            futures = {
                executor.submit(agent.optimize, target_system): agent
                for agent in self.agents
            }

            for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(futures):
                agent = futures[future]
                result = future.result()
                self.performance_tracker.log(agent, result)
```

## 4. Parallel Execution Optimization

### Key Strategies

- Asynchronous agent processing
- Workload partitioning
- Dynamic resource allocation
