SP Agent Team Token Report — Week of 2026-06-14

## This Week's Numbers

Our token optimization efforts for the week of June 8th to June 14th show a clear trend toward efficiency. The primary metric, **Opus%** (the ratio of high-cost Claude Opus turns to total turns), currently stands at **54%**. 

Compared to last week's 70%, this represents a **16% improvement**. While we are moving in the right direction, we remain in the **🟡 Yellow Light** status as we have yet to break the <50% target threshold.

**Key Claude Metrics:**
- **Total Turns Added:** 135
- **Active Sessions:** 5
- **Daily Peak Opus Usage:** June 13th (86%)
- **Daily Efficiency Peak:** June 12th (9% Opus)

## What Changed

The data reveals a volatile but improving routing pattern. We observed a significant dip in Opus dependency on June 12th and 14th, suggesting that the team is successfully identifying tasks that can be handled by Sonnet. However, the spike on June 13th (86% Opus) indicates that complex architectural hurdles still trigger a fallback to the most expensive model. 

Simultaneously, we have scaled our secondary agent, **Hermes**, to handle the "heavy lifting" of repetitive operational tasks, moving them entirely out of the Claude ecosystem.

## Wins

The standout victory this week is the **Hermes Agent utilization**. By offloading systemic monitoring and report generation to a cheaper infrastructure, we've achieved massive token throughput without escalating costs:
- **Total Tokens Processed:** 84.36M tokens.
- **High Volume Automation:** 91 sessions, with 78 triggered via `cron`.
- **Tooling Efficiency:** Hermes successfully executed 1,654 tool calls, with `terminal` (39.5%) and `read_file` (34.2%) being the primary drivers.
- **Skill Maturity:** The `superportia-llm-usage-report` skill was loaded 21 times, proving that our internal reporting loop is now fully automated.

## Challenges

The "Opus Gravity" remains our biggest challenge. Despite the overall trend, we are still routing more than half of our turns to Opus. This suggests a lack of confidence in Sonnet for implementation tasks or an over-reliance on Opus for debugging. We need to refine our dispatch logic to ensure Opus is reserved strictly for "zero-shot" architectural design rather than iterative coding.

## Cost Savings

By leveraging Hermes (powered by Gemini-3.5-Flash and a DeepSeek-based cost model) instead of routing these 3,505 messages through Claude Sonnet, the savings are substantial.

- **Hermes Cost:** 3,505 queries $\times$ \$0.003 $\approx$ **\$10.52**
- **Estimated Sonnet Cost:** Based on 84.3M tokens (blended input/output rate), the cost would have exceeded **\$250.00**.
- **Total Weekly Savings:** $\approx$ **\$240.00+** per week on operational overhead alone.

## Dispatch Optimization

To push Opus% below 50% next week, we will shift the following tasks from Claude to Hermes:
1. **Log Analysis:** Move all `read_file` and `terminal` based log scanning to Hermes.
2. **Daily Reporting:** Fully migrate `daily-monitoring-report` and `llm-usage-monitoring` to Hermes' cron schedule.
3. **File Indexing:** Shift `search_files` operations to the secondary agent to keep Claude's context window clean.

## Next Week's Target

**Target Opus%:** < 48%
**Status:** 🟢 Green Light (Goal)

### Recommendations
Based on this week's data, the following actions are mandated:
1. **Route more implementation to Sonnet**: Current Opus% (54%) is above the 50% threshold.
2. **Review rate too low**: The ratio of evaluation runs to generated artifacts needs auditing to ensure enforcement hooks are triggering correctly.
