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.

Context

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: Looking at the context, I can see that the trajectory shows activities through cycles 1-24, with the current cycle being 25. The scratch_pad protocol under the operating principles explicitly states: 'At every cycle, ensure the scratch_pad includes: Current step and a brief summary of the result, Remaining goals, Notes and assumptions, Progress counter like Step 3 of 7.' The context shows cycles 21-24 had significant activities (drafting review, requesting user input, waiting, receiving lead's answer), but the scratch_pad wasn't updated during these cycles. Before proceeding with any other action (like finalizing the review), I must first rectify this gap to maintain proper state tracking and audit trail.

Response: Immediately update the scratch_pad via the memory tool to document the activities from cycles 21-24 (and note the current state at cycle 25). This update must include: (1) Current step - 'Preparing to finalize review after receiving approval guidance', (2) Brief summary of cycles 21-24 results - drafted initial review, flagged governance uncertainty, awaited response, received approval to proceed with migration risk flagging, (3) Remaining goals - compile final review message and post to #code-reviews, (4) Notes/assumptions - arch-board approval granted; focus on flagging Pydantic v2 migration risks, and (5) Progress counter - 'Step 6 of 7' (finalizing review before posting). This ensures compliance with the mandatory scratch_pad protocol before proceeding to the final review publication step.
