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: I need to address the task: 'The scratch_pad is missing updates for cycles 21-25. Under the operating principles, what should you do immediately to rectify this before proceeding?' I must understand the context and operating principles. The context provides a trajectory summary up to cycle 24, current cycle is 25, and keys in memory. The instructions outline ReviewBot-XL's operating principles, including the 'Think-Plan-Act-Check loop' and 'Deterministic memory' for substantial tool results. The scratch_pad protocol requires updating at every cycle with current step, summary, remaining goals, notes, and progress counter. Cycles 21-25 are mentioned: cycle 21 drafted initial review, cycle 22 requested user input, cycle 23 waiting, cycle 24 received answer, cycle 25 ready to finalize. The scratch_pad is missing updates for these cycles. According to operating principles, I should immediately rectify this by updating the scratch_pad with the missing information before proceeding. This involves recalling from memory or context what happened in each cycle and documenting it in the scratch_pad, following the protocol. No tools are needed as the information is in the context. After updating, I can proceed with finalizing the review.

Response: Immediately update the scratch_pad with the missing entries for cycles 21-25 before proceeding. For each cycle, document the current step, a brief summary of the result, remaining goals, notes and assumptions, and a progress counter. Use the information from the trajectory summary: cycle 21 drafted initial Markdown review (saved in draft_review_351), cycle 22 requested user input for architectural sign-off, cycle 23 waiting for response, cycle 24 received lead's answer ('Approval granted, just flag migration risks.'), and cycle 25 (current) ready to finalize the review message and publish it. Ensure the scratch_pad reflects this history and current status to maintain deterministic tracking as per operating principles.
