BB omh-agent-debug

[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.

How to improve

  1. For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning description-long-hermes description is 345 chars; the Hermes authoring standard requires ≤ 60 (one sentence, ending with a period)

Process rating: all ten parameters 75/100

  • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
  • 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
  • 60Consistency. The Hermes dialect needs category and tags
  • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
  • 100Steps. 41 steps
  • 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
  • 100Failures and branches. 3 branches, has a failure section
  • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1974 tokens

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

Quality signals

  • +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
  • +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
  • +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
  • +2Single-language instructions
  • +3Description length 345: enough signal without eating the budget
  • +4Structure: 10 headings
  • +3Step-by-step instructions: 41 items
  • +4Has examples (1 code blocks)
  • +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (1 of 1)
