Agents – anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 Task

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.

Context

Input

USER INTERRUPTION: The user says, "Actually, never mind about the reminder — just make sure the company dinner is on my calendar."  What do you do to adapt your plan?

Expected output

I will revise the plan by removing the reminder step entirely, then proceed to: (1) search and read the relevant email to obtain the dinner date, (2) check for calendar conflicts, (3) create the event with calendar.create_event **without** the reminder_days_before parameter, and (4) inform the user of any conflicts and confirm the event has been added.  What matters is that the plan is explicitly updated and no reminder is scheduled.

Model output

Reasoning: The user has interrupted the current plan with a new instruction: they no longer want a reminder, but they still want the company dinner added to their calendar. I need to adapt my plan accordingly:

1. **Drop the reminder task**: The user explicitly said "never mind about the reminder," so I should remove the step about setting a reminder (i.e., I no longer need the user's input on how many days before the event to set the reminder, and I won't use the `reminder_days_before` parameter when creating the event).

2. **Keep the calendar event task**: The user still wants the company dinner on their calendar. I still need to:
   a. Search the user's emails for information about the yearly company dinner.
   b. Read the relevant email to extract event details (date, time, location, etc.).
   c. Check the calendar for conflicts on that date.
   d. Create the calendar event (without a reminder).
   e. Confirm with the user that the event has been added.

3. **Update the scratch pad** to reflect the revised plan and continue from where we are — the next immediate action is to search emails for the company dinner details.

So the adapted plan is simpler: search emails → extract details → check conflicts → create event (no reminder) → confirm with user.

Response: Got it! I'll skip the reminder entirely and focus solely on getting the company dinner on your calendar. Here's my updated plan:

**Revised Plan:**
1. ~~Ask user about reminder preferences~~ — **Removed** (per your request)
2. **Search your emails** for information about the yearly company dinner.
3. **Read the relevant email** to extract event details (date, time, location, etc.).
4. **Check your calendar** for any conflicts on that date.
5. **Create the calendar event** (without a reminder).
6. **Confirm** the event has been added successfully.

**Next action:** I'll now search your emails for details about the company dinner.

**Tool call:** `email.search_emails` with query: `"yearly company dinner"`

**Updated scratch pad:**
- User no longer wants a reminder — only the calendar event.
- Current step: Searching emails for company dinner details.
- Remaining goals:
  - Search emails for company dinner info.
  - Read email to extract event details.
  - Check calendar for conflicts.
  - Add event to calendar (NO reminder).
  - Confirm with user.
- Progress: Step 1 of 5 (revised plan).
