## What it does

The skill retrieves session history, tool and token analytics, cost data, and pricing rules from `http://localhost:4820`. It looks for chances to use a less expensive model, improve caching, split large tasks, and add verification. It also examines recurring errors, unreliable tools, and work that could run in parallel.

Recommendations are ranked by priority and include estimated impact, effort, and confidence. The five highest-ranked items get an implementation guide and before-and-after metrics. Choose a broad scan or focus on cost, speed, quality, or workflow efficiency. The service at `localhost:4820` must be reachable; without it, the skill cannot retrieve session data.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill optimization-suggest -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/optimization-suggest/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/optimization-suggest/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill optimization-suggest -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/optimization-suggest/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill optimization-suggest -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/optimization-suggest/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor optimization-suggest
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/optimization-suggest/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill optimization-suggest -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --path plugins/ccam-insights/skills/optimization-suggest
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/optimization-suggest/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill optimization-suggest -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor/tree/HEAD/plugins/ccam-insights/skills/optimization-suggest/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- spot sessions where a cheaper model could handle the task
- find work that should be split or run in parallel
- identify recurring errors and tools with high failure rates
- plan changes to caching and result verification

## Example prompts
- Review all my sessions and rank the best optimization actions.
- Look for ways to reduce model costs using my session history.
- Find recurring errors and suggest changes to prevent them.

  Suggest concrete optimizations for Claude Code usage based on historical

  and workflow efficiency. Use for data-driven optimization planning.

# Optimization Suggest

Generate data-driven optimization recommendations for Claude Code usage.

## Input

The user provides: **$ARGUMENTS**

This may be:
- "all" or empty (default: comprehensive optimization scan)
- "cost" for cost reduction focus
- "speed" for performance/speed focus
- "quality" for error reduction focus
- "efficiency" for workflow efficiency focus

## Procedure

1. **Gather optimization data** from `http://localhost:4820`:
   - `GET /api/sessions?limit=200` — session history
   - `GET /api/analytics` — tool and token analytics
   - `GET /api/pricing/cost` — cost data
   - `GET /api/pricing` — pricing rules for model comparison
   - Sample event streams for behavioral analysis

2. **Analyze optimization opportunities**:

   ### 💰 Cost Optimization
   - **Model downgrade opportunities**: Tasks completed with expensive models that could use cheaper ones
     - Compare success rates per model per task type
     - Calculate savings from model substitution
   - **Cache optimization**: Sessions with low cache hit rates
     - Identify sessions that could benefit from better prompt caching
   - **Early termination**: Sessions that ran longer than needed
     - Detect sessions where useful work completed well before session end
   - **Compaction reduction**: Sessions hitting context limits
     - Suggest breaking large tasks into smaller sessions

   ### ⚡ Speed Optimization
   - **Tool selection**: Faster alternatives for commonly-used tool patterns
   - **Subagent parallelization**: Tasks that could run in parallel
   - **Session planning**: Better upfront context to reduce back-and-forth
   - **Preemptive context loading**: Frequently needed files/context

   ### 🛡 Quality Optimization
   - **Error prevention**: Common error patterns with preventive measures
   - **Tool reliability**: Tools with high failure rates and alternatives
   - **Validation gaps**: Sessions lacking verification steps
   - **Recovery strategies**: Better error handling patterns

   ### 🔄 Workflow Optimization
   - **Session sizing**: Optimal session scope based on historical success
   - **Task decomposition**: Complex sessions that should be split
   - **Automation candidates**: Repetitive workflows to automate
   - **Knowledge reuse**: Patterns where previous session context could help

3. **Quantify each recommendation**:
   - Estimated impact (cost savings $, time savings %, error reduction %)
   - Implementation effort (low/medium/high)
   - Confidence level based on data available
