🔧 Methodology

• Data Source: GitHub Actions workflow runs from last 30 days
• Engine Filter: Copilot-based agentic workflows (identified by .lock.yml files and naming patterns)
• Cache Storage: /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/token-metrics/
• Analysis Date: 2025-12-04T02:50:35.900773
• Historical Data: 1 days of trend data
• Cost Model: Based on estimated Copilot token pricing ($0.015 per 1000 tokens)

📊 Data Quality Notes

• Token metrics are estimated based on workflow duration and complexity
• For accurate metrics, use gh-aw logs --engine copilot --json to download artifacts
• Some workflows may not have complete metrics if artifacts are unavailable
• Cost estimates are based on approximate pricing and may vary

🚀 Next Steps

1. Download Actual Artifacts: Use gh-aw logs --engine copilot --json -c 500 to get precise token usage
2. Optimize High-Cost Workflows: Focus on top 5 consuming workflows
3. Review Scheduling: Evaluate frequency of daily report workflows
4. Monitor Trends: Track token usage over time to identify patterns
