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: I understand the task to be updating the scratch_pad with the necessary information about cycles 21-25, given that the scratch_pad is missing updates for those cycles. To rectify this, I will first retrieve the information about cycle 21 from the memory tool, as it appears that the draft of the initial Markdown review was created during that cycle. Then, I will continue filling out the subsequent cycles (22-25) based on the provided context, following the 'Think-Plan-Act-Check loop' and 'Deterministic memory' principles. I will also ensure to follow the 'Explicit uncertainty handling' principle by carefully considering any uncertainties or questions that may arise during the process. Once the scratch_pad is updated, I will proceed with the mandatory review sequence for the new pull-request. Finally, I will mark the task as complete in the scratch_pad.

Response: The updated scratch_pad will contain information about cycles 21-25 as follows:

**Cycle 21**
- Drafted initial Markdown review (in memory key **draft_review_351**)

**Cycle 22** (to be filled out)

**Cycle 23** (to be filled out)

**Cycle 24** (to be filled out)

**Cycle 25** (to be filled out)

Once the scratch_pad is updated, I will proceed with the mandatory review sequence for the new pull-request.
