-# Agent Introspection Debugging
-
-Use this skill when an agent run is failing repeatedly, consuming tokens without progress, looping on the same tools, or drifting away from the intended task.
-
-This is a workflow skill, not a hidden runtime. It teaches the agent to debug itself systematically before escalating to a human.
-
-## When to Activate
-
-- Maximum tool call / loop-limit failures
-- Repeated retries with no forward progress
-- Context growth or prompt drift that starts degrading output quality
-- File-system or environment state mismatch between expectation and reality
-- Tool failures that are likely recoverable with diagnosis and a smaller corrective action
-
-## Scope Boundaries
-
-Activate this skill for:
-- capturing failure state before retrying blindly
-- diagnosing common agent-specific failure patterns
-- applying contained recovery actions
-- producing a structured human-readable debug report
-
-Do not use this skill as the primary source for:
-- feature verification after code changes; use `verification-loop`
-- framework-specific debugging when a narrower ECC skill already exists
-- runtime promises the current harness cannot enforce automatically
-
-## Four-Phase Loop
-
-### Phase 1: Failure Capture
-
-Before trying to recover, record the failure precisely.
-
-Capture:
-- error type, message, and stack trace when available
-- last meaningful tool call sequence
-- what the agent was trying to do
-- current context pressure: repeated prompts, oversized pasted logs, duplicated plans, or runaway notes
-- current environment assumptions: cwd, branch, relevant service state, expected files
-
-Minimum capture template:
-
-```markdown
-## Failure Capture
-- Session / task:
-- Goal in progress:
-- Error:
-- Last successful step:
-- Last failed tool / command:
-- Repeated pattern seen:
-- Environment assumptions to verify:
-```
-
-### Phase 2: Root-Cause Diagnosis
-
-Match the failure to a known pattern before changing anything.
-
-| Pattern | Likely Cause | Check |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Maximum tool calls / repeated same command | loop or no-exit observer path | inspect the last N tool calls for repetition |
-| Context overflow / degraded reasoning | unbounded notes, repeated plans, oversized logs | inspect recent context for duplication and low-signal bulk |
-| `ECONNREFUSED` / timeout | service unavailable or wrong port | verify service health, URL, and port assumptions |
-| `429` / quota exhaustion | retry storm or missing backoff | count repeated calls and inspect retry spacing |
-| file missing after write / stale diff | race, wrong cwd, or branch drift | re-check path, cwd, git status, and actual file existence |
-| tests still failing after “fix” | wrong hypothesis | isolate the exact failing test and re-derive the bug |
-
-Diagnosis questions:
-- is this a logic failure, state failure, environment failure, or policy failure?
-- did the agent lose the real objective and start optimizing the wrong subtask?
-- is the failure deterministic or transient?
-- what is the smallest reversible action that would validate the diagnosis?
-
-### Phase 3: Contained Recovery
-
-Recover with the smallest action that changes the diagnosis surface.
-
-Safe recovery actions:
-- stop repeated retries and restate the hypothesis
-- trim low-signal context and keep only the active goal, blockers, and evidence
-- re-check the actual filesystem / branch / process state
-- narrow the task to one failing command, one file, or one test
-- switch from speculative reasoning to direct observation
-- escalate to a human when the failure is high-risk or externally blocked
-
-Do not claim unsupported auto-healing actions like “reset agent state” or “update harness config” unless you are actually doing them through real tools in the current environment.
-
-Contained recovery checklist:
-
-```markdown
-## Recovery Action
-- Diagnosis chosen:
-- Smallest action taken:
-- Why this is safe:
-- What evidence would prove the fix worked:
-```
-
-### Phase 4: Introspection Report
-
-End with a report that makes the recovery legible to the next agent or human.
-
-```markdown
-## Agent Self-Debug Report
-- Session / task:
-- Failure:
-- Root cause:
-- Recovery action:
-- Result: success | partial | blocked
-- Token / time burn risk:
-- Follow-up needed:
-- Preventive change to encode later:
-```
-
-## Recovery Heuristics
-
-Prefer these interventions in order:
-
-1. Restate the real objective in one sentence.
-2. Verify the world state instead of trusting memory.
-3. Shrink the failing scope.
-4. Run one discriminating check.
-5. Only then retry.
-
-Bad pattern:
-- retrying the same action three times with slightly different wording
-
-Good pattern:
-- capture failure
-- classify the pattern
-- run one direct check
-- change the plan only if the check supports it
-
-## Integration with ECC
-
-- Use `verification-loop` after recovery if code was changed.
-- Use `continuous-learning-v2` when the failure pattern is worth turning into an instinct or later skill.
-- Use `council` when the issue is not technical failure but decision ambiguity.
-- Use `workspace-surface-audit` if the failure came from conflicting local state or repo drift.
-
-## Output Standard
-
-When this skill is active, do not end with “I fixed it” alone.
-
-Always provide:
-- the failure pattern
-- the root-cause hypothesis
-- the recovery action
-- the evidence that the situation is now better or still blocked
