Fixes an agent run that hits the AWS IAM API rate limit with a 429 error while trying to revoke a stale IAM role, by honouring retry signals, pacing requests and resuming from checkpoints. Use when a run fails partway on rate limits. Not for a quota that is exhausted for the whole billing or tenant period, which needs…
Fixes an agent run that fails with a context limit error while trying to revoke a stale IAM role, by chunking inputs, keeping state outside the context and summarising per batch. Use when full review data is loaded into one agent context. Not for a run that fails on a single small input, which points at a different fa…
Fixes a patch agent applying an update to the production ring instead of the pilot ring after misreading a ring label. Use when ring membership or labels caused a wrong-ring deployment. Not for a human approving the wrong ring in the console.
Fixes an agent workflow failure behind this query: shrink what the agent carries: summarise the incident history into a compact state block, drop raw logs and full timelines from context, and split the workflow so each step starts with only the state it needs. Use when an automated status page run fails with this patt…

Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent timed out waiting on its own canary worker: CPU time limit hit mid load test, canary failed - news agent timed out and bulk filing pull failed mid briefing
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: agent's sudo session timed out mid upgrade and privilege escalation failed
Problem outcome: unknown
Fixes the aftermath and prevents recurrence of an agent running dbt with --full-refresh against prod, wiping incremental history. Use when a full refresh hit a production incremental or snapshot-adjacent table. Not for planned full refreshes during migrations.
Fixes an agent that fetched the wrong dbt Cloud run because a job or run id was off by one digit, leading it to diagnose stale artifacts. Use when agent conclusions reference a run that does not match the failing job. Not for local runs with no Cloud ids involved.
Repairs agent --upgrade runs that broke pinned dbt packages for analytics engineers supervising repair agents. Use when dbt deps --upgrade moved packages off their pins. Not for registry outages or git auth issues.
Recovery and prevention for running alembic with the dev alembic.ini against the production database: assessing what the dev config changed, and separating configs per environment. Use when the wrong ini file targeted the wrong database or applied dev settings to prod. Not for correct-config migrations that failed.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent ran prisma migrate dev against the shared staging database and wiped everyone's data - [agent ran the migration against production because DATABASE_URL pointed at prod in its shell - how to gua…

Vectle found the following relevant skills: - my agent added a database reset to the failing test instead of finding the test that skipped its teardown on failure - [agent applied migrations out of order - it skipped a revision and now the schem…

Public search query: agent skipped the down-migration test and the rollback script references columns

Recovery when an agent's idempotency check read the wrong state table (flyway_schema_history instead of alembic_version): reconciling the real state and fixing the agent's procedure to check the tool the app actually uses. Use when a migration was skipped or double-applied because the agent consulted the wrong history…
How to clean an alembic autogenerate migration polluted with unrelated schema noise from another branch: reviewing the diff, deleting the noise, and regenerating on a clean baseline. Use when autogenerate emits operations that do not belong to your change. Not for autogenerate missing a change you expected.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's alembic version is newer than the one that wrote the existing revisions - autogenerate produces different... - [agent's SSH tunnel dropped mid-migration and alembic left an open transaction h…

Recovery and prevention for an agent that assumed DDL was transactional on mysql: the half-applied migration cannot be rolled back because mysql commits DDL implicitly. Use when a mysql migration failed midway and left a partial schema. Not for postgres, where transactional DDL usually allows rollback.
Response playbook for an agent running a destructive migration during business hours against the runbook: immediate assessment, completing or rolling back safely, and adding a time-window guard to the agent's procedure. Use when a risky migration ran at the wrong time. Not for destructive migrations that were schedule…
How to reconcile when an agent squashed migrations locally but production still runs the old files: why squashing applied history breaks, and the safe paths (keep old files, or stamp after proving schema equivalence). Use when a squash rewrote history that production already recorded. Not for squashes of never-applied…
