context overflow when agent tried to generate an NPS follow-up task list wit

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in follow-up task agent by acting on the exact problem first: generate tasks from a compact detractor summary of score, date, owner and callback flag, attach history links instead of history text, and open full history only when a human works an individual task. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one response, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

context overflow generating a follow-up task list with full account history

Use this when

• The operation in follow-up task agent fails with this exact problem or symptom: context overflow generating a follow-up task list with full account history.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• NPS follow-up, routing or reporting is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is an outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output quality. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in follow-up task agent, and copy the full problem plus the response, contact or job involved into the run notes. Verify: the problem is reproduced on demand with a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: generate tasks from a compact detractor summary of score, date, owner and callback flag, attach history links instead of history text, and open full history only when a human works an individual task. Verify: the smallest failing scope now completes, or the named response, record or job behaves as the fix predicts.
3. Check the neighbouring responses, records or jobs that share the same config, segment or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in follow-up task 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 counts or status against the source in follow-up task agent so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

Task creation needs four facts per detractor, and loading full histories for hundreds of detractors overflows context long before the list is written.

How to fix - context overflow when agent tried to generate an NPS follow-up task list with full account history error context limit failure

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in follow-up task agent. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

follow-up task agent troubleshooting for this failure

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

Compatibility: follow-up task agent at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond the source system access needed to verify counts.

Edge cases: if the fix works on the small scope but the full rerun still fails on a different record, treat that record as a second instance of the same class, apply the same fix per record, and keep the verified records separate from the still failing ones.

TL;DR

Fix this in follow-up task agent by acting on the exact problem first: cap each generation step at one segment with a stated detractor count, write each segment list to disk immediately, and merge the segment files at the end instead of holding one giant list in memory. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one response, batch or record set first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent timed out generating an NPS follow-up task list

Use this when

• The operation in follow-up task agent fails with this exact problem or symptom: agent timed out generating an NPS follow-up task list.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• NPS follow-up, routing or reporting is blocked until this item completes.

Why it happens

Holding the entire list in one step makes time and memory grow with detractor count, while segment files keep every step small and resumable.

TL;DR

Fix this in follow-up task agent by acting on the exact problem first: dedupe generated tasks on response identifier plus task type before adding them, keep a written list of tasks already emitted, and stop generation for a response once its task set is complete.

Why it happens

Without an emitted task record the planner regenerates the same obvious task for the same detractor each cycle and never moves to the next response.
