Optimize AI Agents: Stocktake & Audit Tool for Claude Code

Optimize AI Agents: Stocktake & Audit Tool for Claude Code

The Optimize AI Agents tool is designed to audit subagent definitions within the Claude Code environment. It evaluates each agent definition for description-layer residency costs, body-layer quality, suppression instructions, staleness, and substrate absorption. Based on this analysis, the tool assigns actionable verdicts such as Keep, Improve, Update, Merge, Demote to skill, Dissolve, or Retire. This tool aids developers in maintaining efficient and relevant AI agents within their coding workflows.

What this skill does

• Audits agent definitions located in the ~/.claude/agents/*.md directory.
• Evaluates key characteristics such as description-layer residency cost and body-layer quality.
• Provides suppression instructions and checks for agent staleness and substrate absorption.
• Assigns verdicts including Keep, Improve, Update, Merge, Demote to skill, Dissolve, and Retire.
• Triggers during agent stocktakes or when a change in model generation necessitates a realignment of agent definitions.

Who it is for

• Developers working with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• Development teams looking to optimize and streamline their AI agent capabilities.
• Project managers overseeing AI-driven development projects.

Use cases

• Conducting regular audits of AI agent definitions to ensure efficiency and relevance.
• Mitigating the risk of trigger pollution and residency cost by optimizing agent use.
• Adjusting agent definitions when transitioning between model generations.
• Identifying and retiring redundant or obsolete AI agents.

Technical details

• Utilizes tools such as agent-harness and aiapplication for comprehensive audits.
• Integrates the agent-stocktake capability to facilitate focused assessments of agent definitions.
• Operates seamlessly within the Claude Code environment, ensuring compatibility with existing setups.
