SummaryReTrace compiles an SOP plus logged tool-using runs into executable workflows whose conditions are extracted from agents’ explanations, allowing code rather than an LLM to select each step. Across production and benchmark tasks, the paper reports slightly lower completion or success than agents, but substantially lower cost and latency.
Why it mattersUseful for teams evaluating whether recurring agent operations can become deterministic, portable automations rather than repeated model-driven decisions.
