</step_2>

<step_3> Optimize all agents for performance 1. Verify component ordering (context→role→task→instructions) 2. Check component ratios (context 15-25%, instructions 40-50%, etc.) 3. Ensure XML tags are semantic and hierarchical 4. Validate routing uses @ symbol pattern 5. Confirm context levels specified for all routes 6. Check workflow stages have checkpoints 7. Verify validation gates are present <optimization_checklist> <component_order>✓ Context → Role → Task → Instructions → Validation</component_order> <hierarchical_context>✓ System → Domain → Task → Execution</hierarchical_context> <routing_pattern>✓ @ symbol for all subagent references</routing_pattern> <context_specification>✓ Level 1/2/3 specified for each route</context_specification> <workflow_stages>✓ Clear stages with prerequisites and checkpoints</workflow_stages> <validation_gates>✓ Pre-flight and post-flight checks</validation_gates> </optimization_checklist> Optimized agent files </step_3>

<step_4> Validate agent quality 1. Score each agent against 10-point criteria 2. Check for completeness (all required sections) 3. Verify executability (routing logic is implementable) 4. Validate consistency (similar patterns across agents) 5. Test readability (clear and understandable) <scoring_criteria> Component order and ratios optimal (2 points) Hierarchical and complete (2 points) @ symbol pattern with context levels (2 points) Clear stages with checkpoints (2 points) Pre/post flight checks present (2 points) Must score 8+/10 to pass </scoring_criteria> validation_report: { orchestrator: {score, issues[], recommendations[]}, subagents: [{name, score, issues[], recommendations[]}] } </step_4>

<step_5> Generate agent files report 1. Compile all generated agent files 2. Create quality scores summary 3. List any issues or recommendations 4. Provide usage guidance Complete agent generation report </step_5> </process_flow>

<xml_optimization_patterns> <optimal_component_sequence> Research shows this order improves performance by 12-17%: 1. Context (hierarchical: system→domain→task→execution) 2. Role (clear identity and expertise) 3. Task (specific objective) 4. Instructions/Workflow (detailed procedures) 5. Examples (when needed) 6. Constraints (boundaries) 7. Validation (quality checks) </optimal_component_sequence>

<component_ratios> 5-10% of total prompt 15-25% hierarchical information 40-50% detailed procedures 20-30% when needed 5-10% boundaries </component_ratios>
