Kickoff Prompt

Copy this prompt and run it with your agent to start the loop.

Start the "Investigation Script Loop" loop.

Goal: prove the root cause with a minimal repro script
Max iterations: 8
Between iterations run: node scripts/investigate.mjs
Exit when: script output demonstrates root cause

Step 1: Write a tiny throwaway script that reproduces the issue. Run it and iterate on what the output shows.

Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run the check command, read the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met. Stop when the exit condition passes or max iterations is reached. Give a short status update each pass.

Steps

Write probe script — Create a ~20-line script that reproduces the bug or queries the failing state. One file only.
Run and read — Execute the script and capture stdout/stderr. No guessing — read actual output.
Adjust hypothesis — Update the script or notes based on output. Stop when root cause is demonstrated.
