Gap

Multi-agent system had excessive token consumption due to redundant prompts: Gitea commenting duplicated in 26 agents, code templates inline in 4 heavy agents, verbose role/personality descriptions, duplicated rules content.

Research

• External: Anthropic prompt engineering best practices (clarity, XML structure, positive constraints)
• External: OpenAI prompt engineering guide (developer message hierarchy, Markdown+XML)
• External: Lilian Weng agent architecture (planning/memory/tool use patterns, context window optimization)
• Internal: .kilo/specs/prompt-optimization-strategy.md (full specification)

Implementation

• Created: .kilo/shared/gitea-commenting.md (centralized Gitea commenting format)
• Created: .kilo/shared/gitea-api.md (centralized Gitea API client code)
• Created: .kilo/shared/self-evolution.md (extracted from orchestrator)
• Compressed: ALL 29 agent files using optimization rules:
  • Role → single sentence (merged "When to Use")
  • Behavior → 3-5 imperative bullets (merged "Prohibited Actions" as positive constraints)
  • Output → XML skeleton (max 10 lines)
  • Gitea commenting → <gitea-commenting /> tag
  • Code templates → skill references only
  • Handoff → 3 steps max
  • Delegates → concise table

Results

Metric	Before	After	Change
Total agent lines	6,235	1,409	-77.4%
flutter-developer	759	61	-92.0%

code-skeptic	158	47	-70.3%
planner	62	31	-50.0%
Other 12 agents	~800	~490	-38.8%

Verification

• All 29 agent YAML frontmatter preserved: ✅
• Shared blocks created and accessible: ✅
• Delegation chains intact: ✅
• Gitea integration functional: ✅ (via shared blocks)
• Estimated token savings per pipeline run: ~22,000 tokens

Optimization Principles Applied

1. Anthropic: "Be clear and direct" → single-sentence roles
2. Anthropic: "Tell what to do, not what not to do" → positive constraints
3. Anthropic: XML tags for structure → XML output skeletons
4. OpenAI: Developer message hierarchy → Identity → Instructions → Context
5. Weng: Finite context window optimization → move reference material to skills
6. DRY: Extract duplicated content to shared blocks

Type

Rules Compression — eliminate token waste from globally-loaded rules

Gap

Rules in .kilo/rules/ are loaded into ALL agents' context. Heavyweight rules with full code examples (docker 549 lines, flutter 521 lines, nodejs 271 lines, go 283 lines) waste tokens for non-relevant agents. Two rules were pure duplicates of existing content.

Implementation

Deleted (pure duplicates)

Rule	Lines	Reason
sdet-engineer.md	81	85% duplicate with .kilo/agents/sdet-engineer.md + skills
orchestrator-self-evolution.md	540	Replaced by .kilo/shared/self-evolution.md

Compressed (checklists only, details in skills/)

Rule	Before	After	Change
docker.md	549	26	-95.3%
flutter.md	521	28	-94.6%
go.md	283	21	-92.6%
nodejs.md	271	27	-90.0%
code-skeptic.md	59	14	-76.3%

Unchanged (no duplicates)

Rule	Lines	Reason
global.md	49	Core rules, no duplicate
agent-frontmatter-validation.md	178	Unique validation rules
agent-patterns.md	84	Unique pattern reference
evolutionary-sync.md	283	Unique sync rules
prompt-engineering.md	328	Unique prompt guide
history-miner.md	27	Already concise
lead-developer.md	51	Already concise
release-manager.md	75	Contains auth flow specifics

Results

Metric	Before	After	Change
Total rules lines	2,358	1,061	-55.0%
Rules file count	15	13	-2 (deleted)
Token waste per agent load	~9,400	~4,200	-55%

Verification

• Duplicate files deleted (sdet-engineer, orchestrator-self-evolution)
• Compressed files reference correct skills directories
• No content loss — all detail moved to .kilo/skills/ or .kilo/shared/
• Pipeline validation pending

Type

Capability Expansion + Architecture Improvements — 7 evolutionary tasks

Gap Analysis

1. No PHP web development support (Laravel, Symfony, WordPress)
2. Agents hang on large tasks — need atomic decomposition
3. Giant monolithic files instead of modular architecture
4. Weak Gitea integration — no mandatory issues, research, progress tracking
5. BUG: Issues created in APAW instead of target project (hardcoded repo)
6. No execution logging — impossible to monitor agent performance
7. Excessive token consumption — vague task assignments, scope creep

Implementation

New Agent

Agent	Model	Purpose
php-developer	qwen3-coder:480b	PHP/Laravel/Symfony/WordPress web apps

New Skills (6 PHP + 1 Logging)

Skill	Lines	Purpose
php-laravel-patterns	403	Routing, Eloquent, Services, Repositories, Auth, Queues
php-symfony-patterns	233	Controllers, Doctrine, Messenger, Voters
php-wordpress-patterns	276	Plugins, CPT, REST API, Security
php-security	147	OWASP Top 10, CSRF, XSS, SQL injection
php-testing	242	PHPUnit, Pest, Dusk browser tests
php-modular-architecture	242	Module separation, interfaces, events
agent-logging	160	Execution logging to agent-executions.jsonl

New Commands

Command	Purpose
/laravel	Full-stack Laravel web application pipeline
/wordpress	WordPress site/plugin development pipeline

New Rules (4)

Rule	Purpose
atomic-tasks.md	1 action = 1 task, task sizing, decomposition protocol
modular-code.md	Max 100 lines/file, services/repositories, events
token-optimization.md	Token budgets, no scope creep, routing matrix
gitea-centric-workflow.md	Mandatory issues, research, progress tracking

Critical Bug Fix: Target Project Resolution

• Removed ALL hardcoded UniqueSoft/APAW from API calls
• Added get_target_repo() auto-detection via git remote
• Updated: gitea-api.md, gitea-commenting/SKILL.md, gitea-workflow/SKILL.md, gitea/SKILL.md
• Fallback: GITEA_TARGET_REPO env var → UniqueSoft/APAW only when in APAW directory

New Monitoring

• .kilo/logs/agent-executions.jsonl — execution log
• scripts/agent-stats.ts — statistics aggregator

Verification

• PHP developer agent created with valid YAML frontmatter
• Orchestrator permissions updated for php-developer
• Capability index updated with php routing
• All hardcoded APAW refs replaced with auto-detection
• Execution logging initialized
• Agent stats script functional
• YAML validated (capability-index.yaml)
• README updated to current state
• STRUCTURE updated to current state

Metrics

• New skills: 7 (6 PHP + 1 logging)
• New commands: 2 (laravel, wordpress)
• New rules: 4 (atomic-tasks, modular-code, token-optimization, gitea-centric)
• Hardcoded APAW refs fixed: 15+ across 5 files
• Documentation pages updated: 3 (README, STRUCTURE, EVOLUTION_LOG)
