Accelerate
When your agentic workflow is burning tokens or taking too long to respond, this walks you through a systematic performance audit. It measures baseline metrics like p50/p95 latency and cost per request, then guides you through specific optimizations: token reduction, model cascading to cheaper models for simple tasks, caching strategies, and parallelization. The structure is methodical, maybe overly so, but that's the point. It forces you to measure before and after each change and verify quality didn't regress with golden tests. The trade-off documentation is smart because speed improvements always cost something, even if it's just added complexity. Best used when you've got a working workflow that's too expensive to run at scale.

MANDATORY PREPARATION
Invoke /agent-workflow — it contains workflow principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no workflow context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-maestro first. Consult the context-management reference in the agent-workflow skill for window optimization and budget strategies.
Make the workflow faster and cheaper without sacrificing quality. Measure before and after.
Performance Audit
Measure current performance:
Current metrics:
Latency (p50): ___ms
Latency (p95): ___ms
Cost per request: $___
Token usage (avg): ___ input / ___ output
Error rate: ___%
Acceleration Strategies
Reduce Token Usage
- Shorten system prompts (remove redundant instructions)
- Compress few-shot examples to minimum viable length
- Use structured output schemas instead of verbose text
- Summarize context instead of passing raw documents
- Reduce output length requirements
Model Cascading
- Route simple tasks to cheaper/faster models
- Escalate only complex tasks to capable models
- Use classification to determine complexity
Caching
