SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill detects when the model describes its plan without taking action and injects a force prompt to ensure immediate tool execution, preventing stagnant planning during early iterations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Text-only plan detection during early iterations (iteration <= 3) with no prior tool calls.
  • Nudge injection that prompts the agent to run commands immediately using a predefined system prompt.
  • Seamless integration into the agent loop to pause descriptive behavior and enforce execution.

Quick Start

If the model describes a plan in early iterations, trigger the nudge to start executing tools immediately.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stop an LLM agent from describing a plan without executing tools?

To stop plan-only replies and force tool execution, you can inject a text nudge into the agent loop. This mechanism detects descriptive behavior during early iterations and pushes a prompt to trigger immediate action.

Why does my LLM stall with text-only responses during the first few iterations?

LLM text-only responses during the first few iterations often occur when the model outlines a plan but lacks a trigger to act. A nudge injection identifies this state and prompts the agent to run commands immediately.

Can I force tool execution only during early agent iterations?

Yes, you can force tool execution during early iterations by applying iteration control logic. This nudge specifically targets initial iterations, checking for action words and the absence of prior tool calls before injecting its prompt.

What is text nudge injection in LLM safety and iteration control?

Text nudge injection is a safety and iteration control mechanism that pushes models to execute tools. It detects when a model generates content without prior tool calls and injects a system prompt to enforce immediate execution.

How do I detect plan-only replies before any tool calls are made?

Plan-only replies are detected by checking for model content combined with a lack of prior tool calls. If specific action words are present, a nudge message is injected to force the agent to start executing tools.
