## Why The Buzz agent prompt carries verbose agent-draft instructions that add prompt weight without improving benchmark correctness. Buzz-native channel trials also showed agents creating permanent channels while claiming they had applied a one-hour TTL. The static CLI inventory remains for efficient command discovery by smaller agents. ## What - Retain the static Buzz CLI command table and direct agents to use `--help` for full usage - Compact the owner-reviewed agent-draft guidance without changing its workflow - Clarify that `buzz channels create` is permanent unless `--ttl` is provided ## Benchmark Results - Terminal-Bench retained 22/22 correctness in the initial no-table candidate while reducing prompt size, input tokens, tool calls, and cost; total active time was effectively flat. - Across two Buzz-native runs, the non-channel cases tied at 26/30; the CLI clarification directly addresses the observed TTL omission. ## Update — 2026-08-20 - Restored the CLI command table following review feedback about multistep discovery with smaller agents. The restored-table candidate has not been re-benchmarked. Signed-off-by: Salman Mohammed <smohammed@squareup.com>
