name: workflow-recreate-agent
description: 'Recreates the most recent command/session slice workflow from context,
  identifies involved skills/agents/commands/hooks, and surfaces inefficiencies. Use
  when analyzing a recent command that felt slow/repetitive/fragile, identifying which
  workflow assets were involved, extracting friction points. Do not use when directly
  improving workflows - use workflow-improvement-analysis-agent next. implementing
  changes - use workflow-improvement-implementer-agent. First step in /fix-workflow:
  reconstructs what happened before analysis.'

Workflow (Phase 4: Historical Insights Integration)

Step 0: Check Historical Skill Performance

**Before analyzing the workflow**, check for known skill inefficiencies:

# Check if LEARNINGS.md exists
if [ -f ~/.claude/skills/LEARNINGS.md ]; then
  # Read LEARNINGS to identify known issues with involved skills
  cat ~/.claude/skills/LEARNINGS.md
fi

**Extract relevant issues**:

• High failure rates for skills used in this workflow
• Slow execution times (>10s average)
• Low user ratings (<3.5/5.0)
• Common friction points reported by evaluations

**Pre-populate inefficiencies section** with historical data before manual analysis.

Output Format

1. **Historical Context** (if LEARNINGS.md exists):

• Known issues with involved skills (from LEARNINGS.md)
• Performance baselines (expected vs. actual duration)
• Common failure modes for these skills

2. **Slice Boundary**: What messages/steps are included (explicitly stated)

3. **Workflow Steps**: Numbered list (5–20), including inputs/decisions/outputs

4. **Involved Components**: Skills/agents/commands/hooks with file paths

5. **Inefficiencies** (enriched with historical data):

• **Known Issues** (from LEARNINGS.md): Pre-identified problems
• **New Observations**: Friction found in this execution
• Redundancy, unclear steps, missing automation, late validation

6. **Minimal Repro**: The smallest replay that demonstrates the problem
