### 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% |
| go-developer | 503 | 59 | -88.3% |
| devops-engineer | 365 | 59 | -83.8% |
| backend-developer | 320 | 58 | -81.9% |
| workflow-architect | 705 | 45 | -93.6% |
| agent-architect | 460 | 61 | -86.7% |
| orchestrator | 356 | 92 | -74.2% |
| browser-automation | 271 | 54 | -80.1% |
| capability-analyst | 399 | 46 | -88.5% |
| markdown-validator | 246 | 35 | -85.8% |
| pipeline-judge | 234 | 60 | -74.4% |
| visual-tester | 214 | 57 | -73.4% |
| release-manager | 262 | 53 | -79.8% |
| requirement-refiner | 180 | 51 | -71.7% |
| security-auditor | 178 | 50 | -71.9% |
| 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
- [x] Duplicate files deleted (sdet-engineer, orchestrator-self-evolution)
- [x] Compressed files reference correct skills directories
- [x] No content loss — all detail moved to `.kilo/skills/` or `.kilo/shared/`
- [ ] Pipeline validation pending

### 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

### Type
Security Fix — Credentials Extrication

### Gap Analysis
Hardcoded Gitea credentials (`NW` / `eshkink0t`) found in 9 files across skills, commands, rules, and specs. This violated the core security principle: **NEVER hardcode credentials in agent code.** Any agent using Gitea API had credentials baked in, making token rotation impossible and exposing passwords in version control.

### Implementation

#### New Shared Module
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `.kilo/shared/gitea-auth.md` | Centralized auth module: `get_gitea_token()`, `get_gitea_config()`, bash `get_gitea_token()`, .env template |

#### New Config Structure
| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `.kilo/gitea.jsonc` | Auth structure with env var mapping — NO actual credentials |

#### Files Modified (9 files, credentials removed)

| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `.kilo/shared/gitea-api.md` | `gitea_api()` now calls `get_gitea_token()` instead of inline Basic Auth |
| `.kilo/skills/gitea-commenting/SKILL.md` | `post_comment()` and `upload_screenshot()` now call `get_gitea_token()` |
| `.kilo/skills/gitea-workflow/SKILL.md` | `GiteaClient._get_token()` uses env vars, raises `ValueError` if empty |
| `.kilo/skills/gitea/SKILL.md` | Auth guidance points to `gitea-auth.md` |
| `.kilo/skills/task-analysis/SKILL.md` | `get_token()` reads env vars, raises `ValueError` |
| `.kilo/commands/landing-page.md` | Inline auth → env var auth with `ValueError` |
| `.kilo/commands/workflow.md` | Inline auth → env var auth with `ValueError` |
| `.kilo/commands/web-test.md` | Auth docs point to `gitea-auth.md` |
| `.kilo/rules/release-manager.md` | Removed hardcoded credentials + "password typo" tips |
| `.kilo/specs/prompt-optimization-strategy.md` | Example code uses `get_gitea_token()` + `get_target_repo()` |

#### Auth Resolution Order

```
1. GITEA_TOKEN env var          → Use directly (PREFERRED)
2. GITEA_USER + GITEA_PASS     → Create temporary token via Basic Auth
3. ValueError raised            → No silent fail, user gets actionable message
```

### Verification
- [x] Zero hardcoded credentials remain in codebase
- [x] All Gitea API callers use env vars or `get_gitea_token()`
- [x] `GiteaClient._get_token()` checks empty string for user/pass
- [x] `upload_screenshot()` uses centralized auth
- [x] `task-analysis` functions use `get_token()` from env vars
- [x] `ValueError` raised (not silent fail) when no credentials
- [x] Agents can authenticate via `GITEA_TOKEN` env var at runtime
- [x] `.gitignore` includes `.env`

### Metrics
- Hardcoded credentials removed: 9 instances across 9 files
- New shared modules: 2 (gitea-auth.md, gitea.jsonc)
- Security score: Critical → Resolved
