Step 0: Ask for Output Language

Before doing anything else, ask the user which language they prefer for the generated report:

Which language would you like for the generated report?
  1. Chinese (中文)
  2. English

Please reply with 1 or 2.

Wait for the user's answer, then record the chosen language. Use it consistently throughout all generated output — section headings, table headers, descriptions, conclusions, and the saved file.

Exception: If the user already specified a language in $ARGUMENTS (e.g. lang=en or lang=zh), skip this question and proceed directly.

Step 1: Confirm Grouping Rules

Before reading any report data, list all report filenames using Glob, then:

1. Infer the grouping logic from filename patterns (odd/even numbering, directory names, prefixes, etc.)
2. Present the inferred result to the user in this format:

Found N report files:
- report_run_1_xxx.md
- report_run_2_xxx.md
- ...

Inferred grouping: odd-numbered runs → Group A (disable), even-numbered runs → Group B (async)
Pairs: (Run 1, Run 2), (Run 3, Run 4), ...

Does this grouping look correct? If not, please describe the correct grouping.

3. Wait for user confirmation before proceeding. Once confirmed or corrected, record the grouping rule and move to Step 2.

Exception: If the user already provided grouping rules in $ARGUMENTS, skip the question, confirm the rule inline, and continue.

Step 2: Locate and Load Report Files

Based on $ARGUMENTS, locate the report files:

• .tar.gz or .gz: decompress to /tmp/rally_extracted/, then read the .md files inside

  mkdir -p /tmp/rally_extracted && tar -xzf <file> -C /tmp/rally_extracted/
  

• Directory: use Glob to match *.md files
• Single .md file: read directly

Read all report files in parallel (issue multiple Read tool calls simultaneously, not sequentially).

---

Step 3: Identify Test Scenario

Determine which analysis mode applies:

A. A/B Comparison (filenames contain run_1/run_2, disable/async, odd/even numbers, etc.):

• Apply the confirmed grouping rule
• For each metric: compute per-pair delta and percentage change, then average across all pairs

B. Repeated Baseline (same configuration, multiple runs):

• Compute mean, max, min, and variance for each metric

C. Parameter Sweep (multiple distinct configurations):

• Group by configuration dimension, then compare across groups

---

Step 4: Extract Key Metrics

From each report file, extract the following fields from the Markdown table:

Throughput (primary focus)

• Min / Mean / Median / Max Throughput (docs/s or MB/s)

Latency

• 50th / 90th / 99th / 99.9th percentile latency (ms)

Indexing Internals

• Cumulative indexing time of primary shards (min)
• Cumulative merge time of primary shards (min)
• Cumulative merge count of primary shards
• Cumulative refresh time of primary shards (min)
• Cumulative flush time of primary shards (min)

Storage

• Store size (GB)
• Translog size (GB)
• Segment count

GC

• Total Young Gen GC time (s)
• Total Young Gen GC count
• Total Old Gen GC time (s)

Error Rate

• error rate (%)

---

Step 5: Compute Statistics

For each metric:

• A/B comparison: per-pair delta, percentage change, and average delta across all pairs
• Repeated baseline: mean, max, min
• Round all values to 1 decimal place; round percentages to 1 decimal place
• If a metric differs by less than 2%, label it as "No significant difference"

---

Step 6: Generate Technical Report

Write a complete Markdown technical report to the same directory as the source reports (or a path specified by the user). Filename format: <test-name>_analysis_report.md.

Use the language chosen in Step 0 for all content. The report structure is:

---

# [Test Name] Benchmark Analysis Report

## 1. Test Background & Configuration
- Objective and comparison dimensions
- Shared parameter table (inferred from user description or filenames)
- Test methodology and grouping explanation

## 2. Throughput Analysis (Primary Focus)
- Per-group Mean / Median throughput comparison table
- Overall average comparison with percentage delta
- Consistency assessment (stable across groups?)

## 3. Latency Analysis
- Per-group p50 / p90 / p99 comparison tables
- Highlight the percentile with the largest gap
- Explain the likely cause of latency jitter

## 4. Storage & Segment Management
- Translog size comparison
- Segment count comparison
- Merge behavior: time and count analysis

## 5. GC Analysis
- Young GC time and count comparison
- Old GC presence (flag if non-zero)

## 6. Summary Comparison Table

| Metric | Group A avg | Group B avg | Delta | Winner |
|--------|------------|------------|-------|--------|

## 7. Conclusions & Recommendations
- Which configuration wins and why
- Use-case recommendation table
- Risks and caveats

General Notes

• Throughput is the primary metric — always lead with it and use bold or tables to highlight the result
• Flag any anomalous values (e.g. one run's Translog size significantly larger than others) with a dedicated note
• If all error rates are 0%, state "Error rate: 0% across all runs" without a table
• If grouping was auto-inferred, state the inference basis at the top of the report
