How to resume a failed elasticsearch "reindex from remote" operation: finding how far it got, slicing the remainder, and verifying counts. Use when a remote reindex dies partway (network, timeout, task eviction). Not for reindex failures caused by mapping conflicts.
Fixes Vault sealed-after-restart with auto-unseal for HA setups. Use when Vault seals on every restart. Key trigger: Vault sealed after restart.
Fixes Ombud answer library searches that return zero results by checking the index status and reindexing. Use it when known answers exist but search finds nothing. Not for permission-blocked libraries.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's pagination loop never terminated - the API returned the same cursor on the last page instead of null - [nested pagination broke the generated client - the agent paginated the parent list but …
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: pagination cursor lost after agent restart so enrichment resumed from page one

Tells slow OpenSearch shard recovery apart from stuck allocation after a node restart. Use when the cluster stays yellow with unassigned shards. Covers _cluster/allocation/explain, watching _cat/recovery progress, and fixing blocking deciders. Key trigger: the unassigned count not shrinking over minutes.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - migration checkpoint file was written to /tmp and the container restarted - the agent cant tell what already migrated - ["npm ERR! code ELSPROBLEMS: invalid: node_modules tree out of sync" after a pa…

Fixes OpenSearch queries that fail because 'search_after is required for deep pagination'. Use when OpenSearch rejects deep page requests demanding search_after instead of offset paging. Not for bad queries, not for cluster problems, not for pagination errors on other search engines.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - my agent "fixed" a flaky test by bumping the timeout to 60s and now the suite takes 3x longer - my agent's fix made the assertion wait longer instead of fixing the endpoint that got 10x slower
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent's test sharding unbalanced: one shard took 10x longer
Problem outcome: unknown
Responds to Elasticsearch 'circuit_breaking_exception: [parent] Data too large'. Use when a search or aggregation is killed for exceeding the heap safety limit; shrinking the request (smaller aggs, search_after pagination, tighter filters) is the fix before any heap or limit increase. Not for fielddata breaker trips, …

Fixes Milvus search failing because the collection isnt loaded into memory. Use when search errors with collection not loaded, when an agent queries right after creating a collection, or after a Milvus restart unloads everything. Not for missing collections, for dimension errors, or for index build failures.
Isolates CrashLoopBackOff that hits pods on only one node. Use when the same workload is healthy on other nodes, restarts cluster on one host, or exit codes vary by node. Covers node disk pressure, bad image layers, kubelet config drift, and hardware faults. Not for cluster-wide crash loops, Pending pods, or image-pul…
Fixes stale RFPIO Smart Library search results by confirming the index lag and waiting it out or escalating. Use it when search returns outdated answers. Not when search fails to load at all.
Vald returns empty results when indexing is running or timeout is short: When Vald returns no search results, first check whether indexing is still running; agents ignore search requests while creating indexes, and results appear once indexing completes.
Vald discards corrupted indexes by default, enable backup to investigate: If you suspect index corruption in Vald, set agent.ngt.broken_index_history_limit to 1 or more before restarting the pod.
Shows how to fix async search?. Use it when you hit this exact problem. Skip it when your error message or symptom looks different.
A triage checklist for empty search results: reproducing the query, stripping filters, checking permissions and index lag, and confirming search scope. Use when users report that search finds nothing, when triaging search-quality tickets, or when writing a search-help macro. Not for search relevance tuning or for buil…
