agent loop detected: repeatedly retrying assemble a first week schedule for

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in first week schedule agent by acting on the exact problem first: cap scheduling retries per meeting, log each attempt with its failure reason, treat two identical failures on one meeting as a blocked meeting to report with its reason, and continue with the remaining meetings instead of retrying the blocked one until the run ends. Do not rerun the whole onboarding flow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one hire or one task first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

agent loop detected: repeatedly retrying assemble a first week schedule for a new hire error failure loop

Use this when

• The operation in first week schedule agent fails with this exact problem: agent loop detected: repeatedly retrying assemble a first week schedule for a new hire error failure loop.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A new hire start, an onboarding task, a first day step or a first week plan 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 operation completes and you only disagree with an HR policy call such as eligibility or a start date decision. That is a people team decision, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure on one named hire or task in first week schedule agent and record the full problem text plus the hire, task or start 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: cap scheduling retries per meeting, log each attempt with its failure reason, treat two identical failures on one meeting as a blocked meeting to report with its reason, and continue with the remaining meetings instead of retrying the blocked one until the run ends. Verify: the single failing hire or task now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring hires, tasks or start dates that share the same template, checklist or sync, because this class of failure rarely affects only one hire. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in first week schedule 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 HRIS hire record, the signed offer or the current handbook page, 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 onboarding 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 assemble a first week schedule for a new hire error failure loop

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

first week schedule 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

One unbookable meeting, a full calendar or a missing room, can consume the entire run when retries are uncapped, and logging the reason turns it into a reportable block instead of a silent stall.

Edge cases

• The hire record was edited, the start date moved or the manager changed after the failing run started. Refresh the hire state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single hire proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other hires. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or schedule can hide more than one cause.
• The source systems disagree on the correct value. The HRIS hire record governs who the hire is and when they start, the signed offer governs terms, and the current handbook governs policy wording; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: first week schedule agent at current versions, plus the HRIS, handbook or onboarding tool the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.

TL;DR

Fix this in first week schedule agent by acting on the exact problem first: record each calendar block already placed in a run file keyed by day and time, check that file before placing a block again, stop after a repeated block, and move to the next open slot instead of rebuilding the same morning repeatedly. Do not rerun the whole onboarding flow unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one hire or one task first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

first week schedule 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 agent rebuilds a block because its schedule view refreshes after its own check, so a placed meeting looks unplaced on every pass until placements are recorded where the check reads them.

Edge cases

• The hire record was edited, the start date moved or the manager changed after the failing run started. Refresh the hire state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
• The single hire proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other hires. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared template or schedule can hide more than one cause.

TL;DR

Fix this in recurring one on one scheduling agent by acting on the exact problem first: store the series reference returned by the calendar in a run file and check it before any retry, treat a pair with a stored reference as scheduled even if the calendar list view has not updated yet, and break the run after the same pair is attempted twice. 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.

Use this when

• The operation in recurring one on one scheduling agent fails with this exact problem: agent loop detected: repeatedly retrying schedule a recurring one on one series 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.

recurring one on one scheduling 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

Calendar list views lag behind creation, so an agent trusting the view retries a creation that already succeeded and the pair end up invited twice to the same one on one.

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: recurring one on one scheduling 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.
