SOP Optimizer Cloud / Team

The SOP Optimizer is a self-optimizing prompt compiler that analyzes historical policy violations and trace logs to automatically refine and optimize SOP instructions.

What you'll learn

• How the optimizer analyzes underperforming SOP clauses
• How to trigger manual optimization cycles
• How to review and approve optimization proposals
• Feature gating and role requirements

INFO

The SOP Optimizer requires the feature.metaclaw flag to be enabled for your workspace. This feature is available on the Enterprise plan.

How the SOP Optimizer Works

The optimizer continuously monitors your SOP enforcement data and identifies rules that aren't performing as intended. It analyzes three key signals:

• Enforcement patterns — How often a rule triggers (overly active vs. stale).
• Compliance scores — The rate at which developer agent sessions violate or bypass specific rules.
• Trace logs — The underlying token prompts and tool calls.

Accessing the Optimizer

Unlike general SOP listings, the optimizer has a dedicated home. Click the SOP Optimizer sidebar link (under Governance & Policies) to access the compiler.

1. Manual Trigger

While the optimizer runs nightly compiles in the background, you can trigger an immediate evaluation cycle by clicking the Trigger Optimizer Cycle button.

• Rate limits: Trigger is restricted to once per hour per workspace.
• Report: On complete, displays candidates evaluated, proposals created, and runs skipped.

Dashboards

The SOP Optimizer dashboard is divided into two views:

Run History

Lists all completed optimization runs:

• SOP Title / Clause Index — The targeted SOP ID and specific markdown instruction section under audit.
• Simulated Compliance — Before/after comparison showing the change in compliance score if the proposal is adopted (e.g. 70% → 95%).
• Delta — The net compliance improvement (runs with a delta < 5% are skipped).
• Sample Size — Number of traces evaluated in the simulation.
• Score — Semantic alignment rating of the mutated rule.
• Status — Displays whether the outcome was Accepted or Rejected.

Pending Proposals

Lists all mutations awaiting review:

• Proposed Title & Rating — Description and rating score.
• Reasoning & Simulation Results — Plain-text explanation of why the rule mutation was recommended.
• Clause Diff — A side-by-side comparison of the Original clause text vs. the Optimized clause text.
• Actions — Approve & Apply (promotes the mutated clause directly to your active SOP) or Reject (dismisses the proposal).
