Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 4, Documentation: 2, Utility: 5)

Wasted Cycles is a local wall-clock profiler for AI coding agents that visualizes where time is spent during an agent's run—model inference, builds, tests, and blocking waits. It's interesting as a niche observability tool for developers using AI coding assistants, but the minimal README and lack of public details limit its immediate value.

Target audience: AI developers and engineers using coding agents
