Report #30418
[agent\_craft] Agent repeatedly reads the same files or asks for the same project structure
Maintain a 'scratchpad' or 'project map' message at the top of the context that gets updated with key file paths and current task state, preventing redundant tool calls.
Journey Context:
Agents waste turns re-discovering the codebase layout because previous outputs scroll out of the window or get lost in the middle. A persistent, updated summary of the project structure acts as a working memory, reducing tool calls and keeping the agent oriented.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
