Debug: Session Diagnostics
Help the user diagnose an issue they're encountering in their current Amplifier session.
Issue Description
$ARGUMENTS
If no issue was described, read the session logs and summarize any errors, warnings, or notable issues.
Instructions
-
Delegate to the session-analyst agent to investigate the current session. The session-analyst has specialized knowledge for safely analyzing large event logs (events.jsonl files can contain lines with 100k+ tokens that will crash other tools). Use the delegate tool to dispatch it with the issue description and any relevant context.
-
Check session configuration. Review the current session's configuration for common issues:
- Bundle composition problems (missing modules, failed loads)
- Provider configuration (missing API keys, wrong endpoints)
- Tool availability (tools expected but not mounted)
- Hook failures (hooks that errored during lifecycle events)
Session and project settings are typically at:
- Project:
.amplifier/settings.yaml - User:
~/.amplifier/settings.yaml - Keys:
~/.amplifier/keys.env
-
Check for common patterns:
- Tool calls returning errors repeatedly
- Provider rejections (rate limits, auth failures, model not found)
- Module mount failures at startup
- Context overflow or compaction issues
-
Explain what you found in plain language. Avoid jargon. Tell the user:
- What went wrong
- Why it likely happened
- Concrete steps to fix it
-
If the issue can't be diagnosed from logs alone, suggest the user:
