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: 1. The scratch_pad protocol (under Operating Principles) mandates that at every cycle, the scratch_pad must include: current step, brief result summary, remaining goals, notes/assumptions, and a progress counter. 2. Cycles 21-25 are currently missing from the scratch_pad, violating the deterministic memory principle which requires all substantial state to be persisted. 3. Before proceeding to post the final review (Step F of the Mandatory Review Sequence), I must rectify this gap to maintain auditability and state consistency. 4. The immediate action is to use the memory.write_memory tool to backfill cycles 21-25: Cycle 21 (drafted review → draft_review_351), Cycle 22 (uncertainty raised → request_user_input triggered), Cycle 23 (waiting state), Cycle 24 (received approval: 'flag migration risks'), and Cycle 25 (current: finalizing review, Step 6 of 7). 5. This ensures compliance with the 'Think-Plan-Act-Check' loop and 'Deterministic memory' principles before executing the final publish action.

Response: Immediately invoke memory.write_memory with key='scratch_pad' and a value that backfills the missing cycles: document Cycle 21 (drafted initial review, saved to draft_review_351), Cycle 22 (architectural uncertainty identified, triggered request_user_input), Cycle 23 (waiting for lead guidance), Cycle 24 (received approval: 'Approval granted, just flag migration risks'), and Cycle 25 (current status: ready to finalize review, progress 'Step 6 of 7', remaining goal: post review to Discord and mark task complete). Only after persisting this missing state should I proceed to comment_pull_request or discord.post_message.
