# Orchestration Metrics Framework ## Purpose This framework defines key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics for measuring the effectiveness of agent orchestration in DollhouseMCP. ## Core Metrics Categories ### 1.

Aggregate metrics from all orchestrations 2. Identify patterns and trends 3. Update targets based on performance 4. Document lessons learned ### Monthly Analysis 1. Compare month-over-month metrics 2. Identify systemic issues 3. Update orchestration patterns 4. Refine metrics framework ### Quarterly Optimization 1. Review framework effectiveness 2. Adjust KPIs and targets 3. Update automation tools 4. Share best practices ## Integration with DollhouseMCP ### Tracking in Session Notes Include metrics section in all session notes: ```markdown ## Session Metrics - **Duration**: [X] minutes - **Efficiency Score**: [X]% - **Tasks Completed**: [X]/[Y] - **Errors**: [X] - **Context Usage**: [X]% ``` ### Workflow Element Support Workflows can auto-track metrics: ```yaml workflow: metrics: track: true report: true alert_on_failure: true ``` --- *This metrics framework enables data-driven improvement of orchestration effectiveness.*
