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: <think>
The task is to address the missing updates for cycles 21-25 in the scratch_pad. According to the operating principles, the scratch_pad should be updated at every cycle with specific information including the current step, results, remaining goals, notes, and progress counter.

Steps to rectify:
1. Identify the information that should have been added to the scratch_pad for cycles 21-25.
2. Update the scratch_pad with the missing information.

From the context, here's what we know about cycles 21-25:
- Cycle 21: Drafted initial Markdown review (in memory key **draft_review_351**).
- Cycle 22: Requested user input about whether adding a core framework needs arch-board sign-off.
- Cycle 23: Waiting for response.
- Cycle 24: Received lead’s answer: “Approval granted, just flag migration risks.”
- Cycle 25: Agent is ready to finalize the review message and publish it.

To update the scratch_pad for these cycles:
1. Cycle 21: Update with the information that the initial Markdown review was drafted and saved in memory key draft_review_351.
2. Cycle 22: Update with the information that user input was requested regarding core framework sign-off.
3. Cycle 23: Update with the information that the agent was waiting for a response.
4. Cycle 24: Update with the information that the lead’s approval was received with the condition to flag migration risks.
5. Cycle 25: Update with the information that the agent is ready to finalize the review message and publish it.

Additionally, ensure each update includes the remaining goals, notes, assumptions, and a progress counter if applicable.

Now, let's draft the updates for each cycle:

**Cycle 21 Update:**
- Current step: Drafted initial Markdown review.
- Result: Saved in memory key draft_review_351.
- Remaining goals: Finalize review, get approvals, publish review.
- Notes and assumptions: Initial review drafted, awaiting further steps.
- Progress counter: Step 5 of 7

**Cycle 22 Update:**
- Current step: Requested user input about core framework sign-off.
- Result: Awaiting response.
- Remaining goals: Receive approval, flag migration risks, finalize review, publish review.
- Notes and assumptions: Need clarity on approval process.
- Progress counter: Step 5 of 7

**Cycle 23 Update:**
- Current step: Waiting for response.
- Result: Pending.
- Remaining goals: Receive approval, flag migration risks, finalize review, publish review.
- Notes and assumptions: Awaiting lead’s response.
- Progress counter: Step 5 of 7

**Cycle 24 Update:**
- Current step: Received lead’s approval.
- Result: Approval granted with condition to flag migration risks.
- Remaining goals: Flag migration risks, finalize review, publish review.
- Notes and assumptions: Approval received, need to flag migration risks.
- Progress counter: Step 6 of 7

**Cycle 25 Update:**
- Current step: Ready to finalize and publish review.
- Result: Preparing to publish review.
- Remaining goals: Finalize review, publish review.
- Notes and assumptions: Ready to finalize and publish.
- Progress counter: Step 7 of 7

Now, we need to update the scratch_pad with this information. Since the task is to rectify the scratch_pad before proceeding, we need to update the scratch_pad with the missing information for cycles 21-25.
