Agent Performance Report - Week of February 7-14, 2026

[github-actions[bot]]

Executive Summary - CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ALERT ⚠️

While agent quality remains excellent (93/100), a systemic infrastructure issue is degrading the ecosystem.

• Agents Analyzed: 150 workflows (127 with AI engines, 23 utilities)
• Agent Quality: 93/100 (→ stable, excellent) ✅
• Agent Effectiveness: 88/100 (→ stable, strong) ✅
• Infrastructure Health: 54/100 (↓ -41 from 95/100, CRITICAL DEGRADATION) 🚨
• Critical Infrastructure Issues: 7 workflows failing compilation (strict mode breaking change)
• PR Merge Rate: 70% (50 recent PRs, 21 merged) ⚠️
• Safe Outputs Adoption: 95% (142/150 workflows)
• Tools/MCP Adoption: 93% (139/150 workflows)

🔴 CRITICAL STATUS: Infrastructure Degraded, Agents Performing Well

Agent Performance: ✅ EXCELLENT (12th consecutive zero-critical period for agent quality)
Infrastructure Health: 🚨 DEGRADED (7 compilation failures blocking deployment)

The paradox: Agents are creating high-quality outputs, but a recent strict mode validation change is preventing workflows from compiling, creating a systemic infrastructure bottleneck.

View Infrastructure Crisis Analysis

🚨 Critical Infrastructure Issue: Strict Mode Breaking Change

Status: 7 workflows failing compilation (Priority P0 - BLOCKING)

Root Cause: Recent commit ec99734 enforced strict mode firewall validation that now requires copilot/claude engines with strict mode to only use ecosystem shortcuts (e.g., defaults, node, python), not custom domains.

Error Message:

strict mode: engine 'copilot' does not support LLM gateway and requires 
network domains to be from known ecosystems (e.g., 'defaults', 'python', 'node'). 
Custom domains are not allowed for security.

Affected Workflows:

1. blog-auditor.md - engine: claude, strict: true, uses githubnext.com
2. cli-consistency-checker.md - engine: copilot, uses api.github.com
3. cli-version-checker.md - engine: claude, strict: true, uses api.github.com, ghcr.io
4. +4 more workflows identified in agentic-maintenance logs

Impact:

• Workflows cannot compile and deploy
• Agentic Maintenance workflow failing (run §21984242074)
• Health score dropped 41 points in 24 hours (95 → 54)
• Compilation coverage below 100% for first time in 5 days
• BLOCKS RELEASE READINESS

Resolution Required:

1. Immediate (P0): Update affected workflows to either:
   • Set strict: false to allow custom domains, OR
   • Remove custom domains and use ecosystem shortcuts
2. Testing: Run gh aw compile --validate to verify all 150 workflows compile
3. Documentation: Add migration guide for workflows using custom domains + strict mode

Tracking: Issue #15374 (open)

Example Fix:

# BEFORE (fails):
engine: copilot
strict: true
network:
  allowed: [defaults, "api.github.com"]

# AFTER (option 1 - disable strict):
engine: copilot
strict: false
network:
  allowed: [defaults, "api.github.com"]

# AFTER (option 2 - use ecosystem):
engine: copilot
strict: true
network:
  allowed: [defaults, node]  # api.github.com covered by 'node' ecosystem

Additional Infrastructure Issues

2. Outdated Lock Files (15 workflows - P1)

15 workflows have source .md files modified after their .lock.yml files were compiled, causing potential configuration drift.

Resolution: Run make recompile to update all outdated lock files.

3. Daily Fact Workflow Failure (P2)

Workflow failing due to stale action pin causing MODULE_NOT_FOUND error.

Resolution: Recompile workflow: gh aw compile .github/workflows/daily-fact.md

Tracking: Issue #15380

6. Meta-orchestrator coordination (Campaign/Health/Performance)

   • Excellent collaboration via shared memory
   • No conflicting recommendations
   • Rapid crisis detection (infrastructure issue)

No Problematic Patterns Detected ✅

12th consecutive period with zero problematic agent behaviors:

• ✅ No over-creation (agents creating appropriate number of outputs)
• ✅ No duplication (no redundant work detected)
• ✅ No scope creep (agents staying within defined responsibilities)
• ✅ No stale outputs (outputs remain relevant and actionable)
• ✅ No inconsistency (stable, predictable agent behavior)

View Coverage Analysis

Well-Covered Areas ✅

• CI/CD Health: 5+ diagnostic and monitoring workflows
• Code Quality: 8+ linting, refactoring, and analysis workflows
• Security: 5+ vulnerability scanning and audit workflows
• Documentation: 6+ technical writing and consistency workflows
• Version Management: 2+ automated update workflows

Trends - Mixed Signals

Agent Quality Trends (Positive):

• Quality: 93/100 (→ stable, maintaining excellence for 12 periods)
• Effectiveness: 88/100 (→ stable, strong performance sustained)
• Critical agent issues: 0 (12th consecutive zero-critical period)
• Behavioral patterns: All productive, zero problematic

Infrastructure Trends (Negative):

• Health: 54/100 (↓ -41 from 95/100, critical degradation)
• Compilation coverage: 95.3% (↓ from 100%, below target)
• PR merge rate: 70% (↓ -30% from 100%)
• Workflow failures: 17% (↑ from 0%, concerning increase)

The disconnect: Agents are performing excellently, but infrastructure changes are blocking deployment and execution. This suggests the issue is configuration/validation, not agent quality.

Coordination with Other Meta-Orchestrators

From Workflow Health Manager:

• 🚨 BLOCKING: 7 compilation failures (strict mode issue)
• ⚠️ 15 workflows with outdated locks (configuration drift)
• ❌ NOT production-ready until issues resolved
• Recommendation: Address infrastructure issues before any new campaigns

From Campaign Manager:

• Status: No active campaigns (last report: N/A)
• Impact: Infrastructure crisis prevents new campaign launches
• Recommendation: Hold all campaigns until infrastructure stabilizes

Shared Memory Coordination:

• All meta-orchestrators aligned on crisis severity
• No conflicting recommendations
• Shared alerts updated with current status
• Next coordination: After infrastructure fixes deployed
