This consolidated framework combines automatic detection with structured collaboration preparation for external AI agents. - -## Context - -Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts. - -## Execution Approach - -**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context. - -1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes -2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers -3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents -4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met -5. **Document learnings** from collaborative solutions - -The goal is efficient problem-solving through systematic collaboration when internal approaches reach limitations. - ---- - -## Phase 1: Pre-Escalation Tracking - -### Problem Definition Setup - -Before attempting any solutions, establish clear problem context: - -- [ ] **Issue clearly defined:** Specific error message, file location, or failure description documented -- [ ] **Root cause hypothesis:** Current understanding of what's causing the issue -- [ ] **Context captured:** Relevant code snippets, configuration files, or environment details -- [ ] **Success criteria defined:** What exactly needs to happen for issue to be resolved -- [ ] **Environment documented:** Platform, versions, dependencies affecting the issue - -### Solution Attempt Tracking - -Track each solution attempt using this systematic format: - -```bash -echo "=== LOOP DETECTION TRACKING ===" -echo "Issue Tracking Started: $(date)" -echo "Issue ID: issue-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)" -echo "" -

-### Manual Detection Checklist - -Monitor these indicators during problem-solving: - -- [ ] **Repetitive approaches:** Same or very similar solutions attempted multiple times -- [ ] **Circular reasoning:** Solution attempts that return to previously tried approaches -- [ ] **Diminishing returns:** Each attempt provides less new information than the previous -- [ ] **Time threshold exceeded:** More than 90 minutes spent on single issue without progress -- [ ] **Context window pressure:** Approaching context limits due to extensive debugging -- [ ] **Decreasing confidence:** Solutions becoming more speculative rather than systematic -- [ ] **Resource exhaustion:** Running out of approaches within current knowledge domain -

This consolidated framework combines automatic detection with structured collaboration preparation for external AI agents. + +## Context + +Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts. + +## Execution Approach + +**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context. + +1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes +2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers +3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents +4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met +5. **Document learnings** from collaborative

This consolidated framework combines automatic detection with structured collaboration preparation for external AI agents. - -## Context - -Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts. - -## Execution Approach - -**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context. - -1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes -2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers -3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents -4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met -5. **Document learnings** from collaborative solutions - -The goal is efficient problem-solving through systematic collaboration when internal approaches reach limitations. - ---- - -## Phase 1: Pre-Escalation Tracking - -### Problem Definition Setup - -Before attempting any solutions, establish clear problem context: - -- [ ] **Issue clearly defined:** Specific error message, file location, or failure description documented -- [ ] **Root cause hypothesis:** Current understanding of what's causing the issue -- [ ] **Context captured:** Relevant code snippets, configuration files, or environment details -- [ ] **Success criteria defined:** What exactly needs to happen for issue to be resolved -- [ ] **Environment documented:** Platform, versions, dependencies affecting the issue - -### Solution Attempt Tracking - -Track each solution attempt using this systematic format: - -```bash -echo "=== LOOP DETECTION TRACKING ===" -echo "Issue Tracking Started: $(date)" -echo "Issue ID: issue-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)" -echo "" -

-### Manual Detection Checklist - -Monitor these indicators during problem-solving: - -- [ ] **Repetitive approaches:** Same or very similar solutions attempted multiple times -- [ ] **Circular reasoning:** Solution attempts that return to previously tried approaches -- [ ] **Diminishing returns:** Each attempt provides less new information than the previous -- [ ] **Time threshold exceeded:** More than 90 minutes spent on single issue without progress -- [ ] **Context window pressure:** Approaching context limits due to extensive debugging -- [ ] **Decreasing confidence:** Solutions becoming more speculative rather than systematic -- [ ] **Resource exhaustion:** Running out of approaches within current knowledge domain -

This consolidated framework combines automatic detection with structured collaboration preparation for external AI agents. + +## Context + +Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts. + +## Execution Approach + +**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context. + +1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes +2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers +3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents +4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met +5. **Document learnings** from collaborative

This consolidated framework combines automatic detection with structured collaboration preparation for external AI agents. - -## Context - -Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts. - -## Execution Approach - -**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context. - -1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes -2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers -3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents -4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met -5. **Document learnings** from collaborative solutions - -The goal is efficient problem-solving through systematic collaboration when internal approaches reach limitations. - ---- - -## Phase 1: Pre-Escalation Tracking - -### Problem Definition Setup - -Before attempting any solutions, establish clear problem context: - -- [ ] **Issue clearly defined:** Specific error message, file location, or failure description documented -- [ ] **Root cause hypothesis:** Current understanding of what's causing the issue -- [ ] **Context captured:** Relevant code snippets, configuration files, or environment details -- [ ] **Success criteria defined:** What exactly needs to happen for issue to be resolved -- [ ] **Environment documented:** Platform, versions, dependencies affecting the issue - -### Solution Attempt Tracking - -Track each solution attempt using this systematic format: - -```bash -echo "=== LOOP DETECTION TRACKING ===" -echo "Issue Tracking Started: $(date)" -echo "Issue ID: issue-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)" -echo "" -

-### Manual Detection Checklist - -Monitor these indicators during problem-solving: - -- [ ] **Repetitive approaches:** Same or very similar solutions attempted multiple times -- [ ] **Circular reasoning:** Solution attempts that return to previously tried approaches -- [ ] **Diminishing returns:** Each attempt provides less new information than the previous -- [ ] **Time threshold exceeded:** More than 90 minutes spent on single issue without progress -- [ ] **Context window pressure:** Approaching context limits due to extensive debugging -- [ ] **Decreasing confidence:** Solutions becoming more speculative rather than systematic -- [ ] **Resource exhaustion:** Running out of approaches within current knowledge domain -

This consolidated framework combines automatic detection with structured collaboration preparation for external AI agents. + +## Context + +Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts. + +## Execution Approach + +**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context. + +1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes +2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers +3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents +4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met +5. **Document learnings** from collaborative

This consolidated framework combines automatic detection with structured collaboration preparation for external AI agents. - -## Context - -Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts. - -## Execution Approach - -**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context. - -1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes -2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers -3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents -4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met -5. **Document learnings** from collaborative solutions - -The goal is efficient problem-solving through systematic collaboration when internal approaches reach limitations. - ---- - -## Phase 1: Pre-Escalation Tracking - -### Problem Definition Setup - -Before attempting any solutions, establish clear problem context: - -- [ ] **Issue clearly defined:** Specific error message, file location, or failure description documented -- [ ] **Root cause hypothesis:** Current understanding of what's causing the issue -- [ ] **Context captured:** Relevant code snippets, configuration files, or environment details -- [ ] **Success criteria defined:** What exactly needs to happen for issue to be resolved -- [ ] **Environment documented:** Platform, versions, dependencies affecting the issue - -### Solution Attempt Tracking - -Track each solution attempt using this systematic format: - -```bash -echo "=== LOOP DETECTION TRACKING ===" -echo "Issue Tracking Started: $(date)" -echo "Issue ID: issue-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)" -echo "" -

-### Manual Detection Checklist - -Monitor these indicators during problem-solving: - -- [ ] **Repetitive approaches:** Same or very similar solutions attempted multiple times -- [ ] **Circular reasoning:** Solution attempts that return to previously tried approaches -- [ ] **Diminishing returns:** Each attempt provides less new information than the previous -- [ ] **Time threshold exceeded:** More than 90 minutes spent on single issue without progress -- [ ] **Context window pressure:** Approaching context limits due to extensive debugging -- [ ] **Decreasing confidence:** Solutions becoming more speculative rather than systematic -- [ ] **Resource exhaustion:** Running out of approaches within current knowledge domain -

This consolidated framework combines automatic detection with structured collaboration preparation for external AI agents. + +## Context + +Prevents agents from endlessly repeating failed solutions by implementing automatic escalation triggers and structured collaboration preparation. Ensures efficient use of context windows and systematic knowledge sharing while maintaining detailed audit trails of solution attempts. + +## Execution Approach + +**LOOP PREVENTION PROTOCOL** - This system addresses systematic "retry the same approach" behavior that wastes time and context. + +1. **Track each solution attempt** systematically with outcomes +2. **Detect loop patterns** automatically using defined triggers +3. **Prepare collaboration context** for external agents +4. **Execute escalation** when conditions are met +5. **Document learnings** from collaborative
