Suggested Actions for Maintainer

Energy Efficiency Backlog

Priority	Focus Area	Opportunity	Estimated Impact
MEDIUM	Frontend / UI Energy & Networking	Optimise docs/green-software-with-ai.jpeg (482 KB hero image referenced from README.md:1)	WebP q=85: −34% (−165 KB) or JPEG optimize+progressive q=85: −37% (−178 KB). Measured via Pillow; PSNR 32.55 dB.
LOW	Documentation	Token efficiency of agent/skill markdown when loaded into Claude context	~10–15% theoretical; readability cost likely outweighs — not actioning.

Discovered Commands

No build, test, benchmark, lint, or format commands exist — this is a documentation/configuration-only repository (Claude Code agent + skill definitions, markdown docs). The only "executable" surface is the gh-aw workflow itself, which is operated upstream.

• 🔍 First-run repo scan: confirmed docs-only repo (no application code, no build/test commands).
• 📊 Measured docs/green-software-with-ai.jpeg (482 KB) against WebP and optimized-JPEG alternatives. Best in-format saving: 37% / 178 KB (JPEG q=85 optimize+progressive). Best cross-format saving: 44.7% / 215 KB (WebP q=80).
• 🔧 Filed efficiency opportunities issue [efficiency-improver] Energy efficiency opportunities — initial scan (2026-05) #4 with measured trade-offs — awaiting maintainer choice of format before opening a PR (no breaking binary swaps without approval).
• 🌱 GSF principle applied: Networking — every byte saved on the hero image translates to less energy across CDN, network, and client decode.
