+# Token Usage & Cost Tracking - Design Document
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the design for implementing comprehensive token usage tracking and cost prediction with real-time UI visualization in Agent Zero, while maintaining compatibility with the API-agnostic LiteLLM architecture.
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ CRITICAL FIXES IDENTIFIED (Design Review)
+
+The following issues were identified during design review and MUST be addressed:
+
+### Fix 1: Enable Usage in Streaming Mode
+**Issue**: LiteLLM does NOT return usage data in streaming mode by default!
+**Solution**: Add `stream_options={"include_usage": True}` to streaming calls.
+
+```python
+# In models.py acompletion call:
+_completion = await acompletion(
+    model=self.model_name,
+    messages=msgs_conv,
+    stream=stream,
+    stream_options={"include_usage": True} if stream else None,  # ADD THIS
+    **call_kwargs,
+)
+```
+
+### Fix 2: Capture Final Usage Chunk in Streaming
+**Issue**: In streaming mode, usage comes in a SEPARATE final chunk with empty choices.
+**Solution**: Detect and capture this special chunk.
+
+```python
+# In streaming loop:
+final_usage = None
+async for chunk in _completion:
+    # Check if this is the usage-only final chunk
+    if hasattr(chunk, 'usage') and chunk.usage:
+        if not chunk.choices or len(chunk.choices) == 0:
+            # This is the usage-only chunk
+            final_usage = chunk.usage
+            continue
+    # ... rest of streaming logic
+```
+
+### Fix 3: Use Callback Pattern for Context Access
+**Issue**: `LiteLLMChatWrapper` doesn't have access to `context_id`.
+**Solution**: Add `usage_callback` parameter (follows existing callback pattern).
+
+```python
+# In unified_call signature:
+usage_callback: Callable[[dict], Awaitable[None]] | None = None,
+
+# At end of unified_call:
+if usage_callback and final_usage:
+    await usage_callback({
+        "prompt_tokens": final_usage.prompt_tokens,
+        "completion_tokens": final_usage.completion_tokens,
+        "total_tokens": final_usage.total_tokens,
+        "model": self.model_name,
+    })
+```
+
+### Fix 4: Handle Missing Usage Gracefully
+**Issue**: Some providers/scenarios may not return usage data.
+**Solution**: Fallback to tiktoken approximation.
+
+```python
+if not final_usage:
+    final_usage = {
+        "prompt_tokens": approximate_tokens(str(msgs_conv)),
+        "completion_tokens": approximate_tokens(result.response),
+        "total_tokens": 0,  # Will be calculated
+        "estimated": True  # Flag for UI to show "~" prefix
+    }
+    final_usage["total_tokens"] = final_usage["prompt_tokens"] + final_usage["completion_tokens"]
+```
+
+### Fix 5: Handle Zero-Cost (Local) Models
+**Issue**: Ollama/LM Studio models have $0 cost.
+**Solution**: Display "Free" in UI instead of "$0.0000".
+
+```javascript
+formatCost(cost) {
+    if (cost === 0) return "Free";
+    if (cost < 0.01) return `$${(cost * 1000).toFixed(4)}m`;
+    return `$${cost.toFixed(4)}`;
+}
+```
+
+### Deferred Items (Out of Scope for MVP)
+- Browser model tracking (goes through browser-use library, complex integration)
+- Embedding model tracking (different API format)
+- Persistent storage (SQLite/JSON file)
+- Historical usage charts
+
+---
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### ✅ What We Have
+
+1. **LiteLLM Integration**: All model calls go through LiteLLM's `completion()` and `acompletion()`
+2. **Token Approximation**: `python/helpers/tokens.py` provides `approximate_tokens()` using tiktoken
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Token-based rate limiting already tracks approximate input/output tokens
+4. **Polling System**: `/poll` endpoint provides real-time updates to UI every 300ms
+5. **Log System**: Structured logging with `context.log` that streams to UI
+6. **Model Configuration**: `ModelConfig` dataclass with provider, name, and kwargs
+
+### 🔴 What's Missing
+
+1. **Actual Token Counts**: Not capturing real token usage from LiteLLM responses
+2. **Cost Calculation**: No cost tracking or prediction
+3. **Persistent Storage**: No database for historical token/cost data
+4. **UI Components**: No visualization of token usage or costs
+5. **Context-Level Tracking**: No aggregation of tokens per conversation
+

+
+#### D. Integration in index.js
+
+**File**: `webui/index.js` (modify poll function)
+
+```javascript
+// Import token stats store
+import { store as tokenStatsStore } from "/components/chat/token-stats/token-stats-store.js";
+
+// In poll() function, update token stats
+export async function poll() {
+  // ... existing code ...
+  
+  // Update token stats if available
+  if (response.token_stats) {
+    tokenStatsStore.updateFromPoll(response.token_stats);
+  }
+  
+  // ... rest of existing code ...
+}
+```
+
+#### E. Add to Chat Top Section
+
+**File**: `webui/components/chat/top-section/chat-top.html`
+
+```html
+<!-- Existing content -->
+<div id="chat-top-section">
+  <!-- ... existing elements ... -->
+  
+  <!-- Token Stats Widget -->
+  <x-component path="chat/token-stats/token-stats.html"></x-component>
+</div>
+```
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 0: Design & Review ✅ COMPLETE
+- [x] Research LiteLLM response format and usage data availability
+- [x] Investigate existing codebase (models.py, agent.py, poll endpoint)
+- [x] Design token tracking architecture
+- [x] Create design document
+- [x] **Design Review**: Identified 5 critical fixes (streaming, callbacks, fallbacks)
+- [x] Update design document with fixes
+
+### Phase 1: Backend Foundation 🔄 CURRENT
+- [ ] Modify `models.py` to add `stream_options={"include_usage": True}`
+- [ ] Add `usage_callback` parameter to `unified_call`
+- [ ] Create `python/helpers/token_tracker.py`
+- [ ] Add `TokenUsageRecord` and `ContextTokenStats` dataclasses
+- [ ] Implement `TokenTracker.track_completion()` with cost calculation
+- [ ] Integrate callback with `Agent.call_chat_model()` and `Agent.call_utility_model()`
+- [ ] Test with multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama)
+
+### Phase 2: Context & API Integration
+- [ ] Add `get_token_stats()` to `AgentContext`
+- [ ] Modify `/poll` endpoint to include token stats
+- [ ] Create `/token_stats` API endpoint (optional, for detailed view)
+- [ ] Test real-time updates
+
+### Phase 3: UI Components
+- [ ] Create token stats Alpine.js store
+- [ ] Build token stats widget component
+- [ ] Add CSS styling (match existing dark theme)
+- [ ] Handle "Free" display for local models
+- [ ] Handle "~" prefix for estimated tokens
+- [ ] Integrate with poll updates
+- [ ] Test responsiveness and real-time updates
+
+### Phase 4: Advanced Features (Future)
+- [ ] Add cost estimation before calls
+- [ ] Implement budget warnings
+- [ ] Add historical charts
+- [ ] Export token usage data
+- [ ] Persistent storage (SQLite/JSON)
+
+## Handling API-Agnostic Complexity
+
+### Challenge: Different Providers, Different Response Formats
+
+**Solution**: LiteLLM normalizes all responses to a standard format:
+
+```python
+# All providers return this structure
+response.usage = {
+    "prompt_tokens": int,
+    "completion_tokens": int,
+    "total_tokens": int,
+    "prompt_tokens_details": {  # Optional, provider-specific
+        "cached_tokens": int
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Challenge: Streaming vs Non-Streaming
+
+**Solution**: 
+- **Streaming**: Usage data comes in the LAST chunk
+- **Non-Streaming**: Usage data in the response object
+- Our implementation handles both cases
+
+### Challenge: Cost Calculation Across Providers
+
+**Solution**: Use LiteLLM's built-in `cost_per_token()` function:
+- Maintains up-to-date pricing from api.litellm.ai
+- Handles all 100+ providers automatically
+- Falls back gracefully for unknown models
+
+### Challenge: Models Without Usage Data
+
+**Solution**: Fallback to approximation:
+```python
+if not hasattr(response, 'usage') or not response.usage:
+    # Fallback to tiktoken approximation
+    prompt_tokens = approximate_tokens(prompt_text)
+    completion_tokens = approximate_tokens(completion_text)
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+```python
+# test_token_tracker.py
+def test_track_completion():
+    # Mock LiteLLM response
+    mock_response = MockResponse(
+        usage=Usage(
+            prompt_tokens=100,
+            completion_tokens=50,
+            total_tokens=150
+        )
+    )
+    
+    record = TokenTracker.track_completion(
+        context_id="test",
+        model_config=ModelConfig(...),
+        response=mock_response
+    )
+    
+    assert record.total_tokens == 150
+    assert record.total_cost_usd > 0
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Test with real OpenAI calls
+- Test with real Anthropic calls
+- Test streaming vs non-streaming
+- Test cost calculation accuracy
+
+### UI Tests
+- Verify real-time updates
+- Test formatting functions
+- Test responsive design
+- Test with large token counts
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Persistent Storage**: Save token usage to SQLite/PostgreSQL
+2. **Historical Charts**: Visualize usage over time
+3. **Budget Alerts**: Warn when approaching limits
+4. **Cost Optimization**: Suggest cheaper models for simple tasks
+5. **Export Reports**: CSV/JSON export of usage data
+6. **Multi-User Tracking**: Per-user cost tracking
+7. **Caching Metrics**: Track cache hit rates and savings
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Cost Data Privacy**: Token stats are per-context, not shared
+2. **API Key Protection**: Never log API keys in token records
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Existing rate limiter prevents abuse
+4. **Data Retention**: Consider TTL for old token records
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **In-Memory Storage**: Fast access, but limited by RAM
+2. **Polling Overhead**: Token stats add ~100 bytes to poll response
+3. **Calculation Cost**: LiteLLM's cost_per_token is cached
+4. **UI Rendering**: Minimal impact, updates only on change
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This design provides:
+- ✅ **Real token counts** from LiteLLM responses
+- ✅ **Accurate cost calculation** using LiteLLM's pricing data
+- ✅ **Real-time UI updates** via existing poll mechanism
+- ✅ **API-agnostic** works with all 100+ LiteLLM providers
+- ✅ **Minimal overhead** leverages existing infrastructure
+- ✅ **Extensible** foundation for advanced features
+
+The implementation is straightforward because we leverage:
+1. LiteLLM's standardized response format
+2. Existing poll/log streaming infrastructure
+3. Alpine.js reactive stores for UI
+4. Existing token approximation utilities

+   - Agent: Uses browser tool
+   - Result: Returns weather information
+
+5. **Tool Selection Confusion**
+   - User: "Remember to save the fibonacci code"
+   - Agent: Initially tries wrong tool
+   - Result: Corrects to memory_save
+
+6. **Memory Operations**
+   - User: "What did we save earlier?"
+   - Agent: Uses memory_query
+   - Result: Retrieves saved information
+
+### Mock Meta-Analysis Response

+
+## What is Meta-Learning?
+
+Agent Zero's meta-learning system is a **self-evolving framework** that:
+
+1. **Analyzes** - Examines conversation patterns to identify successes and failures
+2. **Learns** - Detects patterns and gaps in prompts and tools
+3. **Suggests** - Proposes improvements with confidence scores
+4. **Evolves** - Applies changes with automatic versioning and rollback capability
+
+This makes Agent Zero the only AI framework that learns from its own interactions and improves over time.
+
+## Key Features
+
+✨ **Pattern Detection** - Identifies repeated failures and successes  
+🎯 **Smart Suggestions** - Generates specific, actionable improvements  
+🔄 **Version Control** - Automatic backups before every change  
+↩️ **Safe Rollback** - Revert to any previous version instantly  
+🤖 **Auto-Apply (Optional)** - Automatic application with manual review by default  
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+```
+Agent Conversation
+    ↓
+Meta-Analysis Trigger (every N interactions)
+    ↓
+Prompt Evolution Tool
+    ├─ Detect failure patterns
+    ├─ Detect success patterns
+    ├─ Identify missing instructions
+    └─ Suggest prompt refinements & tools
+    ↓
+Store in Memory (SOLUTIONS area)
+    ↓
+Manual Review / Auto-Apply (configurable)
+    ↓
+Version Control (automatic backup)
+    ↓
+Prompt Versioning System (backup & rollback)
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Enable meta-learning in your `.env`:
+
+```bash
+# Enable the meta-learning system
+ENABLE_PROMPT_EVOLUTION=true
+
+# Run analysis every N monologues
+PROMPT_EVOLUTION_FREQUENCY=10
+
+# Minimum conversation history before analysis
+PROMPT_EVOLUTION_MIN_INTERACTIONS=20
+
+# Only suggest with confidence ≥ this threshold
+PROMPT_EVOLUTION_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD=0.7
+
+# Auto-apply high-confidence suggestions (not recommended - use false)
+AUTO_APPLY_PROMPT_EVOLUTION=false
+```
+
+## Usage Example
+
+### Manual Trigger
+```
+User: Analyze my recent interactions using meta-learning.
+
+Agent: [Analyzes last 100 messages for patterns]
+
+Output:
+- 2 failure patterns detected
+- 3 success patterns found
+- 4 prompt refinements suggested
+- 2 new tools recommended
+```
+
+### Query Results
+```
+User: Show me the meta-learning suggestions from my last session.
+
+Agent: [Retrieves from SOLUTIONS memory area]
+
+Results: Full analysis with:
+- Specific improvements recommended
+- Confidence scores for each
+- Files affected
+- Rationale for changes
+```
+
+### Apply Changes
+```
+User: Apply the top 3 suggestions from the meta-learning analysis.
+
+Agent: [Creates backup, applies changes, reports results]

+
+## Key Components
+
+### 1. Prompt Evolution Tool (`python/tools/prompt_evolution.py`)
+The core meta-analysis engine that:
+- Analyzes conversation history
+- Detects patterns
+- Generates suggestions
+- Stores results in memory
+
+### 2. Prompt Versioning (`python/helpers/prompt_versioning.py`)
+Version control system for prompts:
+- Automatic snapshots before changes
+- Rollback to any previous version
+- Change tracking with metadata
+- Diff between versions
+
+### 3. Meta-Learning API (`python/api/meta_learning.py`)
+REST endpoints for:
+- Triggering analysis
+- Listing suggestions
+- Applying changes
+- Managing versions
+- Dashboard queries
+
+### 4. Auto-Trigger Extension (`python/extensions/monologue_end/_85_prompt_evolution.py`)
+Automatically triggers analysis:
+- Every N monologues (configurable)
+- Can be disabled per configuration
+- Non-blocking async operation
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+### Workflow 1: Manual Analysis & Review
+
+1. **Trigger** - Use prompt_evolution tool
+2. **Analyze** - System analyzes recent interactions
+3. **Review** - Examine suggestions in UI
+4. **Select** - Choose which changes to apply
+5. **Apply** - Changes applied with automatic backup
+6. **Monitor** - Track impact of changes
+
+### Workflow 2: Auto-Trigger with Manual Approval
+
+1. **Configure** - Set `PROMPT_EVOLUTION_FREQUENCY=10`
+2. **Auto-Run** - Runs every 10 monologues
+3. **Review** - Check suggestions dashboard
+4. **Apply** - Accept/reject per change
+5. **Monitor** - See results over time
+
+### Workflow 3: Autonomous Evolution (Advanced)
+
+1. **Configure** - Set `AUTO_APPLY_PROMPT_EVOLUTION=true`
+2. **Auto-Run** - Analyzes regularly
+3. **Auto-Apply** - High-confidence changes applied automatically
+4. **Monitor** - Review applied changes periodically
+5. **Rollback** - Revert if needed
+
+## Best Practices
+
+✅ **Start with manual review** (AUTO_APPLY=false)  
+✅ **Run 50+ interactions first** before enabling analysis  
+✅ **Review suggestions carefully** before applying  
+✅ **Apply changes gradually** (1-2 at a time)  
+✅ **Monitor impact** after each change  
+✅ **Maintain version history** for rollback capability  
+✅ **Check confidence scores** - higher is better  
+
+❌ **Don't enable auto-apply immediately**  
+❌ **Don't apply all suggestions at once**  
+❌ **Don't ignore low-confidence suggestions**  
+❌ **Don't skip the backup step**  
+
+## Safety Features
+
+🔒 **Automatic Versioning** - Every change creates a backup  
+✔️ **Confidence Scoring** - Only high-confidence suggestions shown  
+📋 **Pattern Validation** - Minimum 2 occurrences required  
+↩️ **One-Command Rollback** - Revert to any previous state  
+🔍 **Audit Trail** - Full history of all changes  
+🧪 **Test Coverage** - Comprehensive test suite included  
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: "Insufficient history"
+**Solution:** Run more interactions (default: 20 minimum)
+```bash
+export PROMPT_EVOLUTION_MIN_INTERACTIONS=5  # Lower threshold
+```
+
+### Issue: "No suggestions generated"
+**Solution:** Lower confidence threshold
+```bash
+export PROMPT_EVOLUTION_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD=0.5  # Default: 0.7
+```
+
+### Issue: "Changes reverted unexpectedly"
+**Solution:** Check the rollback feature - you may have rolled back
+```bash
+# List versions to see what happened
+python3 -c "from python.helpers.prompt_versioning import PromptVersionManager as P; print([v['version_id'] for v in P().list_versions()])"
+```
+
+### Issue: "Meta-learning not triggering"
+**Solution:** Verify it's enabled
+```bash
+# Check environment
+echo $ENABLE_PROMPT_EVOLUTION  # Should be "true"
+
+# Check frequency
+echo $PROMPT_EVOLUTION_FREQUENCY  # Default: 10
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The system includes a comprehensive test suite:
+
+```bash
+# Quick verification (no dependencies)
+python3 tests/meta_learning/verify_test_structure.py
+
+# Full test suite (requires dependencies)
+python3 tests/meta_learning/manual_test_prompt_evolution.py

+**ModuleNotFoundError**: Install dependencies with:
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Test fails at cleanup**: Check file permissions in temp directory.
+
+**Mock LLM not returning JSON**: The mock is designed to return valid JSON. If this fails, check the `call_utility_model` method in the MockAgent class.
+
+**Integration test fails**: Ensure write permissions in the test directory.
+
+## Contributing
+
+When adding new meta-learning features, update this test to cover:
+1. New analysis patterns
+2. New refinement types
+3. New auto-apply logic
+4. New edge cases
+
+Keep the mock conversation history realistic and diverse to ensure robust testing.

+## Key Design Patterns
+
+### 1. Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA)
+```python
+# Arrange
+mock_agent = MockAgent()
+tool = PromptEvolution(mock_agent, "prompt_evolution", {})
+
+# Act
+result = asyncio.run(tool.execute())
+
+# Assert
+assert isinstance(result, Response)
+assert "Meta-Learning" in result.message
+```
+
+### 2. Test Isolation
+- Each test creates its own temporary directory
+- No shared state between tests
+- Guaranteed cleanup via try/finally
+
+### 3. Mock Objects
+- MockAgent replaces real Agent
+- Mock methods track calls
+- Realistic test data
+
+### 4. Configuration Testing
+- Environment variable patches
+- Multiple configuration scenarios
+- Isolated per test
+
+## Dependencies

+# Prompt Evolution Test Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+Created comprehensive manual test suite for the `prompt_evolution.py` meta-learning tool.
+
+## Files Created
+
+1. **manual_test_prompt_evolution.py** (533 lines)
+   - Main test script with 16+ test scenarios
+   - MockAgent class with realistic conversation history
+   - 30+ assertions covering all functionality
+   - Edge case testing
+
+2. **README_TESTS.md**
+   - Complete documentation for running tests

+
+## Test Coverage
+
+### Basic Functionality Tests (16 scenarios)
+
+1. ✓ **Environment Setup** - Creates temporary prompts directory with sample files
+2. ✓ **Mock Agent Creation** - Realistic conversation history with 28 messages
+3. ✓ **Tool Initialization** - PromptEvolution tool setup
+4. ✓ **Insufficient History Detection** - Validates minimum interaction requirement
+5. ✓ **Disabled Meta-Learning Check** - Respects ENABLE_PROMPT_EVOLUTION flag
+6. ✓ **Full Meta-Analysis Execution** - Complete analysis pipeline
+7. ✓ **Utility Model Integration** - Verifies LLM calls with proper prompts
+8. ✓ **Memory Storage** - Analysis results stored in SOLUTIONS area
+9. ✓ **Confidence Threshold Filtering** - Filters suggestions by confidence score
+10. ✓ **Auto-Apply Functionality** - Automatic prompt refinement application
+11. ✓ **History Formatting** - Conversation history preparation for LLM
+12. ✓ **Summary Generation** - Human-readable analysis summary
+13. ✓ **Storage Formatting** - Memory storage format validation
+14. ✓ **Default Prompt Structure** - Built-in system prompt verification
+15. ✓ **Version Manager Integration** - Seamless backup and versioning
+16. ✓ **Rollback Functionality** - Undo meta-learning changes
+
+### Edge Case Tests (3 scenarios)
+
+1. ✓ **Empty History Handling** - Gracefully handles no history
+2. ✓ **Malformed LLM Response** - Recovers from invalid JSON
+3. ✓ **LLM Error Handling** - Catches and handles API errors
+
+### Total: 19 Test Scenarios, 30+ Assertions
+
+## Mock Data
+
+### MockAgent Class
+- Simulates Agent instance with required attributes
+- Tracks all method calls for verification
+- Provides realistic conversation history
+
+### Conversation History (28 messages)
+1. **Successful code execution** - Fibonacci calculator
+2. **Failure pattern** - Search engine timeouts (2 failures)
+3. **Missing capability** - Email tool request
+4. **Successful browsing** - Weather query
+5. **Tool confusion** - Wrong tool choice, then correction
+6. **Memory operations** - Save and query operations
+
+### Mock Meta-Analysis Response
+- **2 failure patterns** (search timeout, wrong tool selection)
+- **2 success patterns** (code execution, memory operations)
+- **2 missing instructions** (email capability, file vs memory distinction)
+- **2 tool suggestions** (email_tool, search_fallback_tool)

+# Meta-Learning Analysis System
+
+You are Agent Zero's meta-learning intelligence - a specialized AI that analyzes conversation patterns to improve the agent's capabilities through systematic self-reflection.
+
+## Your Mission
+
+Analyze conversation histories between USER and AGENT to:
+1. **Detect patterns** - Identify recurring behaviors (both failures and successes)
+2. **Find gaps** - Discover missing instructions or capabilities
+3. **Suggest refinements** - Propose specific, actionable prompt improvements
+4. **Recommend tools** - Identify unmet needs that warrant new tools
+5. **Enable evolution** - Help Agent Zero continuously improve from experience
+
+## Analysis Methodology
+
+### 1. Pattern Recognition
+
+**Failure Patterns** - Look for:
+- Repeated mistakes or ineffective approaches
+- User corrections or expressions of frustration
+- Tool misuse or tool selection errors
+- Incomplete or incorrect responses
+- Slow or inefficient problem-solving
+- Violations of user preferences
+
+**Indicators:**
+- User says "no, not like that" or "try again differently"
+- Same issue appears 2+ times in conversation
+- Agent uses suboptimal tools (e.g., find vs git grep)
+- Agent forgets context from earlier in conversation
+- Agent violates stated preferences or requirements
+
+**Success Patterns** - Look for:
+- Effective strategies that worked well
+- User satisfaction or positive feedback
+- Efficient tool usage and problem-solving
+- Good communication and clarity
+- Proper use of memory and context
+
+**Indicators:**
+- User says "perfect" or "exactly" or "thanks, that works"
+- Pattern appears repeatedly with good outcomes
+- Fast, accurate resolution
+- User builds on agent's output without corrections
+
+### 2. Gap Detection
+
+**Missing Instructions** - Identify:
+- Situations where agent lacked guidance
+- Ambiguous scenarios without clear rules
+- Edge cases not covered by current prompts
+- Domain knowledge gaps
+- Communication style issues
+
+**Evidence Required:**
+- Agent hesitated or asked unnecessary questions
+- User had to provide instruction that should be default
+- Agent made obvious mistakes due to lack of guidance
+- Pattern of confusion in specific contexts
+
+### 3. Confidence Scoring
+
+Rate each suggestion's confidence (0.0 to 1.0) based on:
+
+**High Confidence (0.8-1.0):**
+- Pattern observed 5+ times
+- Strong evidence in conversation
+- Clear cause-effect relationship
+- Low risk of negative side effects
+- Specific, actionable change
+
+**Medium Confidence (0.6-0.8):**
+- Pattern observed 3-4 times
+- Good evidence but some ambiguity
+- Moderate risk/benefit ratio
+- Change is fairly specific
+
+**Low Confidence (0.4-0.6):**
+- Pattern observed 2-3 times
+- Weak or circumstantial evidence
+- High risk of unintended consequences
+- Vague or broad change
+
+**Very Low (< 0.4):**
+- Single occurrence or speculation
+- Insufficient evidence
+- Should not be suggested
+
+### 4. Impact Assessment
+
+Evaluate the potential impact of each finding:
+
+**High Impact:**
+- Affects core functionality
+- Frequently used capabilities
+- Significant user pain points
+- Major efficiency improvements
+
+**Medium Impact:**
+- Affects specific use cases
+- Moderate frequency
+- Noticeable but not critical
+
+**Low Impact:**
+- Edge cases
+- Rare situations
+- Minor improvements
+

+      "proposed_addition": "Specific text to add to prompts",
+      "evidence": "What in conversation shows this gap",
+      "example_messages": [10, 25]

+      "risk_assessment": "Potential negative side effects"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### Evidence Requirements
+
+- **Minimum frequency:** 2 occurrences for failure patterns
+- **Minimum frequency:** 3 occurrences for success patterns
+- **No speculation:** Only suggest based on observed conversation
+- **Concrete examples:** Always reference specific message indices
+- **Clear causation:** Explain why pattern occurred, not just that it did
+
+### Suggestion Quality
+
+**GOOD Suggestion:**
+```json
+{
+  "pattern": "Agent uses 'find' command for code search instead of 'git grep'",
+  "frequency": 4,
+  "severity": "medium",
+  "affected_prompts": ["agent.system.tool.code_exe.md"],
+  "example_messages": [12, 34, 56, 78],
+  "root_cause": "No guidance on git-aware search in code_execution_tool prompt",
+  "impact": "medium"
+}
+```
+✅ Specific, actionable, evidence-based, clear cause
+
+**BAD Suggestion:**
+```json
+{
+  "pattern": "Agent could be faster",
+  "frequency": 1,
+  "severity": "high",
+  "affected_prompts": [],
+  "example_messages": [10],
+  "root_cause": "Unknown",
+  "impact": "high"
+}
+```
+❌ Vague, low frequency, no actionable insight, no evidence
+
+### Confidence Calibration
+
+Be conservative with confidence scores:
+- Don't assign > 0.8 unless pattern is very clear and frequent
+- Consider potential risks in scoring
+- Lower score if change could break existing functionality
+- Higher score for low-risk additions vs. modifications
+
+### Prompt Refinement Quality
+
+When suggesting prompt changes:
+
+**DO:**
+- ✅ Provide COMPLETE proposed text (not diffs or fragments)
+- ✅ Be specific about file and section
+- ✅ Explain expected outcome
+- ✅ Consider side effects
+- ✅ Reference evidence from conversation
+
+**DON'T:**
+- ❌ Suggest vague improvements ("make it better")
+- ❌ Provide partial changes (fragments of text)
+- ❌ Ignore existing prompt structure/style
+- ❌ Suggest breaking changes without high confidence
+- ❌ Base suggestions on single occurrences
+
+## Example Analysis
+
+Given conversation history with these patterns:
+
+**Observed:**
+- User asked to "search for TODOs in code" (messages: 10, 45, 89)
+- Agent used `grep -r "TODO"` each time
+- User corrected twice: "use git grep, it's faster"
+- Finally user said "can you remember to use git grep?"
+
+**Your Analysis:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "failure_patterns": [
+    {
+      "pattern": "Agent uses generic grep for code search instead of git-aware search",
+      "frequency": 3,
+      "severity": "medium",
+      "affected_prompts": ["agent.system.tool.code_exe.md"],
+      "example_messages": [10, 45, 89],
+      "root_cause": "No guidance on preferring git grep for repository searches",
+      "impact": "medium"
+    }
+  ],
+  "success_patterns": [],
+  "missing_instructions": [
+    {
+      "gap": "No guidance on using git-aware tools when in git repository",
+      "impact": "high",
+      "suggested_location": "agent.system.tool.code_exe.md",
+      "proposed_addition": "When searching code in a git repository, prefer 'git grep' over generic grep - it's faster and respects .gitignore automatically.",
+      "evidence": "User repeatedly corrected agent to use git grep instead of grep -r",
+      "example_messages": [10, 45, 89]
+    }
+  ],
+  "tool_suggestions": [],
+  "prompt_refinements": [
+    {
+      "file": "agent.system.tool.code_exe.md",
+      "section": "Code Search Best Practices",
+      "current": "",
+      "proposed": "## Code Search Best Practices\n\nWhen searching for patterns in code:\n\n1. **In git repositories:** Use `git grep <pattern>` for fast, git-aware search\n   - Automatically respects .gitignore\n   - Faster than generic grep\n   - Only searches tracked files\n\n2. **Outside git repositories:** Use `grep -r <pattern> <path>`\n   - Specify paths to avoid unnecessary directories\n   - Use --include patterns to filter file types\n\n3. **Complex searches:** Consider combining with find for filtering",
+      "reason": "User corrected agent 3 times to use git grep. Adding explicit guidance will prevent this recurring issue.",
+      "confidence": 0.85,
+      "change_type": "add",
+      "expected_outcome": "Agent will automatically use git grep in repositories, reducing user corrections",
+      "example_messages": [10, 45, 89],
+      "risk_assessment": "Low risk - git grep is safe and well-established. Fallback to grep for non-git environments."
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Common Failure Patterns
+
+1. **Tool Selection Errors**
+   - Using wrong tool for the job
+   - Missing obvious better alternatives
+   - Over-complicating simple tasks
+
+2. **Context Loss**
+   - Forgetting earlier conversation
+   - Not using memory effectively
+   - Repeating mistakes
+
+3. **Communication Issues**
+   - Too verbose or too terse
+   - Not following user's preferred style
+   - Unclear explanations
+
+4. **Efficiency Problems**
+   - Slow approaches when fast ones exist
+   - Unnecessary steps
+   - Not leveraging available tools
+
+### Common Success Patterns
+
+1. **Effective Tool Chains**
+   - Good combinations of tools
+   - Efficient workflows
+   - Smart delegation to subordinates
+
+2. **Memory Usage**
+   - Retrieving relevant past solutions
+   - Building on previous work
+   - Learning from history
+
+3. **Communication**
+   - Clear, concise explanations
+   - Appropriate detail level
+   - Good formatting and structure
+
