Report #103953

[agent\_craft] Agent repeats the same failure pattern

Maintain an episodic memory of \(error\_signature, root\_cause, fix\_attempt, outcome\). Before each action, query it by the current error message or stack trace. If a past fix succeeded, retry it with the current context; if it failed, avoid that path and explain why.

Journey Context:
Without memory, every turn is tabula rasa; agents loop through the same wrong fixes. Reflexion showed that verbal self-reflection plus an episodic memory improves success rates on sequential tasks. The key is indexing by a stable error signature, not the full prompt, so similar failures recall similar lessons. Keep it compact—ten good lessons beat a thousand noisy ones.
