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.

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: The scratch_pad is missing updates for cycles 21-24. According to the Scratch_pad protocol (operating principle #7), I must explicitly document progress at every cycle. This requires retroactively adding entries for these cycles to ensure full traceability. For each missing cycle, I'll:

1. Add **current step** details (e.g., draft review, dependency analysis, security findings)
2. Include a **brief result summary** from the trajectory context
3. List **remaining goals** (e.g., confirmation of governance requirements)
4. Add cycle-specific **progress markers** using the required format
5. Record any **notes/assumptions** about architectural decisions

This will satisfy the 'Deterministic memory' principle (2) by preserving all critical reasoning steps in the scratch_pad before finalizing the review.

Response: I'll update the scratch_pad with detailed cycle entries for 21-24 now, following the mandatory traceability protocol. Each entry will include step summaries, progress counters, and documentation of the PR-351 code migration review workflow.
