agents-optimize
An agent skill by aws, from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. Tags: analytics, cost-optimization, evaluation, observability, performance.
What it does
Use when measuring or improving agent quality and performance — set up evaluators, online monitoring, CI/CD quality gates, observability, or cost optimization. Triggers on: "evaluate my agent", "add evaluator", "measure quality", "quality gate", "run evals", "agent too slow", "why is it slow", "reduce latency", "set up observability", "CloudWatch dashboard", "how much does my agent cost", "cost optimization", "logs not showing up", "logs missing", "spans not found", "eval failing", "eval error", "dev traces", "local traces", "agentcore dev traces", "traces to CloudWatch". Not for debugging errors or crashes — use agents-debug. Slow but correct routes here; broken routes to debug.
