SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? A single search attempt can return empty results, leaving a question unanswered. This Skill defines a simple worker workflow that repeats the search until information is found and then delivers the final answer. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Retry Loop: Repeats the search step when an attempt comes back empty, without requiring extra logic from the user. - Guarded Delivery: The deliver step only runs once the information has been marked as found, ensuring the answer is based on actual results. - Use Case: An agent answering a research question issues a search, gets no results, retries until results appear, and then delivers the answer to the user. ## Quick Start Use this skill to keep searching for the answer to my question until results are found, then deliver the final answer.

FAQPage Schema

How do I retry a search until results are found?▼

Run the search step, and if it returns empty, repeat it until results appear. Once the information is marked as found, proceed to the deliver step to provide the answer.

How to handle empty search results in an agent workflow?▼

Treat an empty result as a signal to retry the search rather than a failure. This skill loops the search step until something is found, then moves on to delivering the answer.

What tools does this search retry skill require?▼

It requires two tools: search, which marks the information as found, and deliver, which requires the found condition and marks the question as answered.

When should I not use a retry-until-found search loop?▼

Avoid it when the query may never return results, since the loop has no built-in termination limit. In those cases, add a maximum retry count or a fallback response instead.
