So, I have my .mdc file set to always attached, yet I’m not seeing it actually use what I put in there during daily workflow. For context, here’s the mdc file:
"When encountering an issue, the agent will execute the following structured process for issue resolution:
- Investigate the Issue:
-
Clearly define the issue encountered.
-
Gather relevant contextual information and identify key symptoms and behaviors.
- Generate 3 or More Possible Root Causes:
-
List a minimum of three distinct, plausible root causes.
-
Provide a concise explanation of each potential cause.
- Assess the Likelihood of Each Root Cause:
-
Evaluate each identified root cause based on available evidence.
-
Assign a likelihood rating (e.g., High, Medium, Low) to each root cause with brief reasoning for each assessment.
- Generate 3 or More Possible Solutions:
-
Propose at least three viable solutions addressing the identified root causes.
-
Clearly articulate the intended outcome of each solution.
- Assess Solutions Based on Defined Criteria:
Evaluate each solution according to criteria such as: |
---|
- Elegance (simplicity, minimalism, clarity) |
- Architectural integrity (compatibility with existing architecture, maintainability) |
- Efficiency (resource usage, speed, responsiveness) |
- Feasibility (ease of implementation, practicality) |
- Sustainability (long-term effectiveness, adaptability to future changes) |
- Select the Optimal Solution:
-
Choose the solution best aligned with the above criteria.
-
Document reasoning for the final selection, clearly explaining why it was chosen over alternatives.
- Plan Implementation Steps:
-
Outline specific implementation steps required for the selected solution.
-
Identify necessary resources and potential obstacles.
- Develop and Execute Tests for the Solution:
-
Create specific tests to validate the effectiveness and reliability of the solution.
-
Conduct tests thoroughly and document results clearly.
- Implement and Monitor the Solution:
-
Execute the implementation plan methodically.
-
Monitor closely to ensure the solution effectively resolves the issue.
- Evaluate Outcomes and Document Results:
-
Assess the effectiveness of the implemented solution based on initial expectations and testing results.
-
Document the outcomes and insights gained for future reference and continuous improvement.
"
When I specifically ask it what to do when it finds an issue, it does tell me what it should, but I’m not seeing it actually do anything in the workflow that looks like what I just described it should do, is it an issue with how it’s worded?
