[q] perf(go-logger): cap turns at 50 and pre-compute candidate file list #31857
Description
Q Workflow Optimization Report
Issues Found (from live data)
Go Logger Enhancement (run #25778334111)
- Run Date: 2026-05-13T04:29:21Z
- Duration: 11.6 minutes | Cost: ~$5.81 | Turns: 92
- Engine: Claude (claude-opus-4-7)
- Agentic Assessments (from gh-aw audit):
- 🔴 HIGH
resource_heavy_for_domain:turns=92 tool_types=45 duration=11m36s write_actions=0→ Compare to similar runs and trim unnecessary turns - 🟡 LOW
partially_reducible:agentic_fraction=0.50 turns=92→ ~50% of turns were data-gathering (find,grep) that can move to deterministic pre-steps
- 🔴 HIGH
Changes Made
Go Logger Enhancement (.github/workflows/go-logger.md)
-
Added
max-turns: 50— Changedengine: claude(simple form) to structured form:engine: id: claude max-turns: 50
Prevents runaway sessions like the 92-turn run. 50 turns is generous for 5 files × ~8 turns each + overhead.
-
Added deterministic pre-step — New
Find candidate Go filesstep runsfindandgrepbefore the agent starts, writing results to/tmp/gh-aw/agent/candidate-files.txt. This eliminates ~46 agent turns previously spent on file discovery. -
Updated prompt — Added "Phase 1: Use Pre-Computed File List" section instructing the agent to
cat /tmp/gh-aw/agent/candidate-files.txtinstead of runningfind/grepcommands itself. Also updated "Task Steps § 1" accordingly.
Expected Improvements
| Metric | Before | Expected After |
|---|---|---|
| Turns | 92 | ~30–40 |
| Cost | ~$5.81 | ~$2–3 |
| Duration | 11.6m | ~5–7m |
