agent failed to summarize the last one on one for prep error failu

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in one on one summary agent by acting on the exact problem first: write the summary result to a run file keyed by meeting, have the prep step read that file to decide the meeting is summarised, stop the run if the same meeting is summarised twice, and advance to the next unsummarised meeting in the prep list. Do not rerun the same meeting sync or prep run unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one meeting, agenda or direct report first, then rerun the full scope and check the shared record.

agent loop detected: repeatedly retrying summarize the last one on one for prep error failure loop

Use this when

• The operation in one on one summary agent fails with this exact problem: agent loop detected: repeatedly retrying summarize the last one on one for prep error failure loop.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A one on one agenda, talking point, action item or prep step is blocked until this is resolved.

Not for this skill when

• The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The meeting completes and you only disagree with a people judgement such as a rating or a promotion call. That is a manager and people team decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named meeting or direct report in one on one summary agent and record the full problem text plus the meeting, participants and date involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: write the summary result to a run file keyed by meeting, have the prep step read that file to decide the meeting is summarised, stop the run if the same meeting is summarised twice, and advance to the next unsummarised meeting in the prep list. Verify: the single failing meeting or agenda now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring meetings, reports or recurring occurrences that share the same template, calendar series or sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one meeting. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in one on one summary agent on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the shared agenda record, the calendar event or the meeting notes, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the meeting prep log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

How to fix - agent loop detected: repeatedly retrying summarize the last one on one for prep error failure loop

The how to phrasing for the same failure in one on one summary agent. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

one on one summary agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

The prep step checks a view the summary is not posted to, so the meeting looks unsummarised forever and the agent keeps rewriting it while other meetings wait for prep.

Edge cases

• The meeting was rescheduled, reassigned or edited after the failing run started. Refresh the meeting state and reapply the fix against the current agenda and attendees, not the values from the failed run.
• The single meeting proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other meetings. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or calendar series can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The shared agenda record governs talking points and action items, the calendar event governs time and attendees, and private notes govern only what their owner chose to share; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: one on one summary agent at current versions, plus the calendar, agenda or people tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in one on one summary agent by acting on the exact problem first: summarise the last one on one in sections, decisions, actions and discussion themes, save each section as it is written, set a time budget per section, and assemble the prep summary from the saved sections so a late failure loses one section, not the whole summary.

one on one summary agent troubleshooting for this failure

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

A single pass over full meeting notes, actions and history is the slowest way to summarise, and section level saving turns a failure into a resume point for prep.

Edge cases

• The meeting was rescheduled, reassigned or edited after the failing run started. Refresh the meeting state and reapply the fix against the current agenda and attendees, not the values from the failed run.
• The single meeting proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other meetings. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or calendar series can hide more than one cause.

The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

Why it happens

Regenerated summaries drift in wording and emphasis each pass, so a loop here does not just waste time, it gives the manager a changing account of the same meeting.

Edge cases

• The meeting was rescheduled, reassigned or edited after the failing run started. Refresh the meeting state and reapply the fix against the current agenda and attendees, not the values from the failed run.
