Agents

AI agent reasoning and tool selection tests planning, tool choice, and self-diagnosis capabilities. These skills are crucial for autonomous ticket triage systems and complex agent workflows where models must decide which tools to use, plan multi-step processes, and diagnose when things go wrong. This represents some of the most challenging tasks as they require open-ended reasoning and decision-making.

Input
The scratch_pad is missing updates for cycles 21-25. Under the operating principles, what should you do immediately to rectify this before proceeding?
Expected output
Update the scratch_pad to back-fill concise summaries for cycles 21-25 (lead approval received, draft_review_351 created, readiness to publish, etc.), correct the progress counter, and ensure the current step reflects the true state. Only after the scratch_pad is consistent should the agent continue with further actions.
Model output
Reasoning: Let me analyze the situation step by step:

1. Looking at the trajectory summary, I notice cycles 21-25 are not properly updated in the scratch_pad:
   - Cycle 21: Drafted initial Markdown review
   - Cycle 22: Requested user input about arch-board sign-off
   - Cycle 23: Waiting for response
   - Cycle 24: Received lead's approval
   - Cycle 25: Current cycle

2. According to the operating principles, specifically the "Scratch_pad protocol":
   - The scratch_pad must be updated every cycle
   - Must include: current step, result summary, remaining goals, notes/assumptions, and progress counter

3. Since this is a protocol violation, immediate action is required to maintain system integrity and traceability

Response: I should immediately use the memory tool to update the scratch_pad with the missing cycle information (21-25) before proceeding with any other actions. The update should include:
- Cycle 21: Completed draft review (stored in draft_review_351)
- Cycle 22: Identified architectural concern and requested user input
- Cycle 23: Waiting state for user response
- Cycle 24: Received approval with instruction to flag migration risks
- Cycle 25: Current state

This update should follow the scratch_pad protocol format with current step, result summary, remaining goals, and progress counter.
