What problem does it solve?

Diagnoses and resolves failed or unreliable agent workflows, identifying root causes and suggesting fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Failure Classification: Identifies bad assumptions, missing observations, tool misuse, and other failure patterns.
  • Evidence Collection: Captures failing command output, browser logs, and task plan details.
  • Fix Recommendation: Suggests durable fixes for harness or project workflow issues.
  • Use Case: After a harness run failure, use this skill to diagnose the issue and recommend a fix.

Quick Start

Run the agent-failure-introspection skill on the failed harness run to diagnose the issue.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose a failed agent workflow?

Diagnosing a failed agent workflow involves running a Python analysis script that classifies failure patterns like bad assumptions and tool misuse, then collecting evidence such as failing command output and browser logs.

What causes agent workflows to fail during a harness run?

Agent workflows fail during a harness run due to bad assumptions, missing observations, tool misuse, and harness or project workflow issues, which are identified through systematic evidence collection and failure classification.

How do I get fix recommendations for project workflow issues?

Fix recommendations for project workflow issues are generated by executing a diagnostic script that analyzes the failed harness run and suggests durable fixes for harness or project code problems.

Do I need Python to run agent failure introspection?

Yes, you need Python installed because the diagnosis and project code fix recommendation process relies on executing Python scripts to analyze the failed harness run and identify root causes.

What is the best way to capture evidence from failed agent workflows?

The best way to capture evidence from failed agent workflows is to use a diagnostic skill that automatically collects failing command output, browser logs, and task plan details for post-failure analysis.
