# Agent Debug
Diagnose a failing or stuck agent run through capture, root-cause classification, contained recovery, and a structured introspection report — instead of retrying blindly.
## Usage
```
/agent-debug # Diagnose the current stuck/failing run
/agent-debug --report-only # Skip recovery, just produce the introspection report
```
## Behavior
### Phase 1: Capture
Record the failure before touching anything:
- error type, message, last tool call sequence
- what the agent was trying to accomplish
- signs of context pressure: duplicated plans, oversized pasted output, repeated near-identical prompts
- environment assumptions to verify: cwd, branch, expected files, service state
### Phase 2: Diagnose
Match the failure to a known pattern before changing anything:
| Symptom | Likely cause | Check |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Same tool call repeated | loop with no exit condition | last N tool calls for repetition |
| Reasoning degrading, output rambling | context overflow from duplicated notes/logs | recent context for low-signal bulk |
| Connection refused / timeout | wrong port, service down | service health, URL, port |
| 429 / rate limit | retry storm, no backoff | call frequency and spacing |
| File missing after write | wrong cwd, race, branch drift | actual path, `git status`, file existence |
| "Fixed" but still failing | wrong hypothesis | isolate the exact failing case, re-derive |
Ask: is this logic, state, environment, or policy failure? De
