+# ♻️ Daily Efficiency Improver
+
+> For an overview of all available workflows, see the [main README](../README.md).
+
+The [Daily Efficiency Improver workflow](../workflows/daily-efficiency-improver.md?plain=1) is an energy-efficiency-focused repository assistant that runs daily to identify and implement improvements that reduce computational footprint. It discovers build/test/benchmark commands, identifies opportunities across code, data, network/I/O, and frontend behavior, implements measurable changes, maintains its own PRs, comments on relevant issues, invests in measurement infrastructure, and maintains a monthly activity summary for maintainer visibility.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install the 'gh aw' extension
+gh extension install github/gh-aw
+
+# Add the workflow to your repository
+gh aw add-wizard githubnext/agentics/daily-efficiency-improver
+```
+
+This walks you through adding the workflow to your repository.
+
+## How It Works

+    A --> C[Identify Opportunities]
+    A --> D[Implement Improvements]

+
+The workflow operates through seven coordinated tasks each run:
+
+### Task 1: Discover and Validate Build/Test/Benchmark Commands
+
+Analyzes the repository to discover build, test, benchmark, lint/format, and profiling commands. Cross-references against CI/config files, validates by running them, and stores successful commands in memory.
+
+### Task 2: Identify Energy Efficiency Opportunities
+
+Systematically scans for energy-related opportunities in four focus areas: code-level efficiency, data efficiency, network/I/O efficiency, and frontend/UI efficiency. Prioritizes opportunities by estimated impact and measurability.
+
+### Task 3: Implement Energy Efficiency Improvements
+
+Selects optimization goals from backlog, establishes baseline measurements, implements improvements, and measures outcomes. Creates draft PRs with before/after evidence, trade-offs, and reproducibility instructions.
+
+### Task 4: Maintain Efficiency Improver Pull Requests
+
+Keeps its own PRs healthy by fixing CI failures and resolving merge conflicts. Uses `push_to_pull_request_branch` to update PR branches directly.
+
+### Task 5: Comment on Efficiency-Related Issues
+
+Reviews open issues mentioning efficiency, performance, energy, or green software concerns. Suggests actionable investigation and measurement approaches. Maximum 3 comments per run.
+
+### Task 6: Invest in Energy Measurement Infrastructure
+
+Assesses benchmark and profiling coverage, identifies blind spots, and proposes or implements infrastructure improvements to better track and prevent efficiency regressions.
+
+### Task 7: Update Monthly Activity Summary
+
+Every run, updates a rolling monthly activity issue that gives maintainers one place to review efficiency work and suggested follow-up actions.
+
+### Guidelines Daily Efficiency Improver Follows
+
+- **Measure everything**: No efficiency claim without data
+- **No breaking changes**: Never changes public APIs without explicit approval
+- **No new dependencies**: Discusses in an issue first
+- **Small, focused PRs**: One optimization per PR for easier review and rollback
+- **Read AGENTS.md first**: Before starting work, reads project-specific conventions
+- **AI transparency**: Every output includes robot emoji disclosure
+- **Build, format, lint, and test verification**: Runs checks before creating PRs
+- **Exclude generated files**: Keep benchmark artifacts out of commits unless explicitly needed
+
+## Usage
+
+The main way to use Daily Efficiency Improver is to let it run daily and perform tasks autonomously. You can review activity via its monthly summary issue and related PRs/comments.
+
+### Configuration
+
+This workflow requires no configuration and works out of the box. It uses repo-memory to track work across runs and avoid duplicate actions.
+
+After editing run `gh aw compile` to update the workflow and commit all changes to the default branch.
+
+### Commands
+
+You can start a run immediately:
+
+```bash
+gh aw run daily-efficiency-improver
+```
+
+To run repeatedly:
+
+```bash
+gh aw run daily-efficiency-improver --repeat 30
+```
+
+### Triggering CI on Pull Requests
+
+To automatically trigger CI checks on PRs created by this workflow, configure an additional repository secret `GH_AW_CI_TRIGGER_TOKEN`. See the [triggering CI documentation](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/triggering-ci/) for setup instructions.
+
+### Human in the Loop
+
+- Review efficiency improvement PRs and measurement summaries
+- Validate claims through independent checks where needed
+- Assess code quality and maintainability of optimizations
+- Provide feedback through issue and PR comments
