Impasse Detector

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies when an agent gets stuck in a reasoning loop or unproductive state by examining transcripts, tool usage, and sentiment patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated loop detection: Monitors dialogue and actions to surface impasses and escalate or delegate appropriately.
• Contextual analysis: Analyzes recent history using a lookback window to determine stagnation.
• Use Case: In long-running planning sessions, trigger a review when looping behavior is detected to avoid wasted tokens and time.

Quick Start

To activate, provide either a transcript path or direct content and a lookback window; the SKILL will output a JSON with status, confidence, reasons, and recommended action.
