## Key Optimization Opportunities Identified
|
|
|
|
### 1. Test Execution Standardization
|
|
- **Issue**: Manual test execution instead of using `make test`
|
|
- **Impact**: Found in 8 recent commits
|
|
- **Recommendation**: Always use `make test` for consistent test execution with proper setup
|
|
|
|
### 2. Database Operations
|
|
- **Issue**: Direct SQLite usage instead of CLI commands
|
|
- **Available Tools**: `markitect db-query`, `markitect db-schema`, `markitect db-stats`
|
|
- **Recommendation**: Use standardized database CLI commands with error handling
|
|
|
|
### 3. Schema Operations
|
|
- **Issue**: Manual JSON schema manipulation in 19 files
|
|
- **Available Tools**: `markitect schema-generate`, `markitect validate`
|
|
- **Recommendation**: Use schema generation CLI for validation and metaschema compliance
|
|
|
|
### 4. Issue Management
|
|
- **Issue**: Manual HTTP requests to Gitea API
|
|
- **Available Tools**: `markitect issues list/show/create`, `make list-issues`
|
|
- **Recommendation**: Use issue management CLI commands with retry logic and authentication
|

## Agent Priming Optimizations
|
|
|
|
### Enhanced Context Generation
|
|
Created comprehensive tool inventory with:
|
|
- **94 categorized tools** with usage examples
|
|
- **Decision trees** for tool selection
|
|
- **Quick reference guides** for common tasks
|
|
- **Usage guidelines** to prevent manual implementation
|
|
|
|
### Tool Selection Decision Tree
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
For Testing Tasks → make test
|
|
For Database Operations → markitect db-query/db-schema
|
|
For Issue Management → markitect issues [command] or make [command]
|
|
For Schema Operations → markitect schema-generate/validate
|
|
For Development Workflow → make tdd-start NUM=X
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Quick Reference - Most Critical Commands
|
|
|
|
1. `make test` - Run all tests (instead of manual pytest)
|
|
2. `make list-issues` - List all issues
|
|
3. `markitect issues show NUM` - Show issue details
|
|
4. `markitect schema-generate file.md` - Generate schema from markdown
|
|
5. `markitect db-query 'SQL'` - Query database
|
|
6. `make tdd-start NUM=X` - Start TDD cycle for issue X
