Tracks per-agent token usage in parallel workflows, flags waste like duplication, and checks if spend matches value. Use after multi-agent dispatches for efficiency review.

modules/waste-signals.mdDesigns and optimizes AI agent action spaces, tool definitions, observation formats, error recovery, and context for higher task completion rates.
Enables AI agents to execute x402 payments with per-task budgets, spending controls, and non-custodial wallets via MCP tools. Use when agents pay for APIs, services, or other agents.
Compares coding agents like Claude Code and Aider on custom YAML-defined codebase tasks using git worktrees, measuring pass rate, cost, time, and consistency.
Dispatching more agents does not always help. Coordination overhead grows with agent count:
| Agent Count | Expected Overhead | Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 1-3 | Negligible | Dispatch freely |
| 4-5 | 10-15% | Acceptable; plan first |
| 6-8 | 20-30% | Monitor closely |
| 9+ | 30%+ | Likely counterproductive |
Coordination overhead is measured as shared-file conflicts: concurrent Read/Write operations on the same file by different agents, as a percentage of total agent runtime.
After parallel agent runs, evaluate:
If 2+ questions answer no, reduce agent count in future dispatches of the same type.
