Bottleneck Identifier
Separating quick fixes from structural fixes gives you immediate wins while planning longer-term improvements.
Analyze the following workflow for bottlenecks and inefficiencies.\n\nWorkflow: {{workflow_name}}\nSteps:\n{{workflow_steps}}\n\nTime spent per step: {{time_per_step}}\nFrequency: {{frequency}} (daily/weekly/per project)\nTeam members involved: {{team_members}}\n\nIdentify:\n1. The top 3 bottlenecks (steps where work queues up or takes disproportionate time)\n2. Root cause for each bottleneck (capacity, dependency, manual process, unclear ownership)\n3. Impact: how much time/money each bottleneck costs per {{frequency}}\n4. Quick fixes (implementable this week)\n5. Structural fixes (require process redesign)\n6. AI-powered solutions for each bottleneck\n7. Metrics to monitor after fixes are applied

Forcing the agent to plan before acting prevents premature execution and wasted steps. Explicit dependency mapping enables parallel execution and catches logical gaps early.
Tool Selection AgentThe ReAct pattern (Reason + Act) creates an explicit reasoning trace that improves tool selection accuracy. The error-handling rule prevents infinite retry loops.
Prompt CompressorExplicitly requiring all functional requirements to be preserved prevents the model from over-compressing and losing critical instructions.
Memory Management AgentExplicit memory read/write instructions create agents that improve over time. Categorization keeps memories organized, and the deduplication rule prevents context bloat.
