AKIS Edge Case Analysis

When to Use

• Monthly compliance review
• Compliance drops below 75%
• User requests "analyze akis", "edge case analysis", "framework improvements"
• After major protocol changes

Pattern

Load Logs → Analyze → Simulate → Propose → Implement

Methodology

1. Load Workflow Logs

• Sample 20-30 recent from log/workflow/*.md
• Focus on last 30 days

2. Run Compliance Check

bash scripts/check_all_workflows.sh

Extract baseline metrics

3. Identify Failure Patterns

• Missing emissions (SESSION, AKIS_LOADED, SKILLS_USED)
• Protocol violations (skipped phases, no PAUSE/RESUME)
• Context loss (multi-thread sessions)
• Knowledge gaps (silent failures)

4. Simulate Edge Cases

• Extract frequency data from logs
• Categorize by type (protocol, context, knowledge, etc.)
• Determine severity (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)
• Calculate impact (% affected)

5. Propose Adjustments

• Specific file changes (terse, high-impact)
• Blocking gates for critical emissions
• Auto-detect mechanisms
• Error recovery protocols

6. Measure Improvement

• Baseline → Target compliance
• Projected % reduction in failures
• ROI calculation

7. Implement Critical Fixes

• Week 1: Critical (highest impact)
• Apply to framework files
• Validate with compliance checker

Checklist

• Load 20-30 workflow logs
• Run compliance checker, extract baseline
• Identify top 10 failure patterns
• Simulate edge cases with frequency data
• Create analysis document (scenarios, root causes, fixes)
• Create implementation guide (terse, actionable)
• Apply Week 1 critical fixes
• Measure improvement (re-run compliance)
• Update project_knowledge.json

Output Format

Analysis Document:

• Executive summary (baseline, target, gap)
• 20-30 edge case scenarios
• Each: frequency, severity, root cause, prevention, AKIS adjustment, measured improvement
• Summary table with projections
• Implementation priority (phases)

Implementation Guide:

• Specific file modifications (diff format)
• Week-by-week roadmap
• Validation procedures
• Measurement plan

Applied Fixes:

• Actual edits to framework files
• Terse style, no bloat
• High-impact blocking gates

Example Triggers

• "Analyze AKIS compliance and suggest improvements"
• "Run edge case analysis on workflow logs"
• "Framework compliance review"
• "Simulate failure scenarios from logs"

Success Criteria

• Compliance increase >30% after Week 1 fixes
• All critical scenarios documented
• Terse adjustments applied to framework
• Validation shows improvement
