What it does
[omh] Agent is stuck, looping, or drifting: capture a stuck, looping, drifting, or repeatedly failing agent run, diagnose the likely failure pattern, and prepare the smallest safe recovery action. Use when the user says: agent-debug, agent debug, agent debugging, agent introspection, agent self-debug, self-debug, self debugging, looping agent.
Agent Debug
This is an OMH agent-debug workflow skill, projected for Agent Skills hosts (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, opencode, OpenClaw, pi).
Why This Exists
agent-debug exists so Hermes users can ask for this workflow in chat and get a structured, checkable answer instead of an improvised one.
Do Not Use When
- The request is already handled by a narrower explicit skill with stronger evidence.
- The user asks OMH to secretly run external platforms, connectors, schedulers, file exports, or runtime agents.
- The only safe answer is to ask for missing authority, credentials, target, or observed evidence first.
Examples
Good example:
- Prompt: agent-debug capture why this agent is looping on the same tool and prepare the smallest safe recovery action.
- Expected behavior: Produce
prepare_agent_debugwith required context, wrapper actions, and not-evidence boundaries. - Why: The prompt names a real workflow surface that Hermes can orchestrate without hiding execution.
Bad example:
- Prompt: agent-debug silently reset the executor, patch the environment, and claim the future loop is fixed.
- Expected behavior: Report the missing observed evidence or authority instead of claiming the external step happened.
- Why: Prepared OMH guidance is not platform, runtime, connector, file, memory, or delivery evidence.
Completion Checklist
- Failure state, intended goal, recent tool sequence, and context pressure are captured.
- Diagnosis distinguishes repeated command/tool loops, context drift, environment mismatch, service errors, and wrong-hypothesis tests.
- Recovery action is contained, reversible, and does not claim implementation, verification, CI, merge, or future-loop fixes.
Recovery Notes
- If the request is install/setup health, it is outside this skill.
- If the request is a manager status or throughput review, route to agent-ops-review.
- If the request is a durable self-improvement record after diagnosis, it is outside this skill.
