What it does

Diagnose and fix a failing or misbehaving Atomic Agents app, import errors, schema validation failures, empty or malformed LLM output, provider role/mode errors, history and context problems, MCP transport errors. Use when the user reports an error, traceback, or wrong behavior in atomic-agents code, asks "why is my agent not working / crashing / returning garbage", or pastes a `ValidationError`, `ImportError`, or provider API error from an atomic-agents project.

Troubleshoot an Atomic Agents App

Diagnostic workflow for the "it's broken" moment. Most atomic-agents failures are one of a dozen known causes with mechanical fixes. Match the symptom, apply the fix, verify by re-running.

Workflow

  1. Capture the failure. Get the exact traceback or wrong-output sample plus the code that produces it (agent construction, schemas, client wiring). If the user pasted only a fragment of the error, ask for the full traceback before guessing.
  2. Match against the symptom table below. The quoted strings are the framework's real messages, match on them.
  3. Apply the fix and re-run the failing snippet. Do not declare the problem solved without a passing re-run.
  4. No match? Load the reference for the failing area (table at the bottom) and reason from there. For a whole-codebase audit rather than one failure, delegate to the atomic-reviewer subagent instead.
