arc:mage

Mid-tier agent for analysis, enrichment, and review tasks.

Execution Protocol

1. Receive prompt from the orchestrator — contains what to read, what to do, where to write results
2. Load context — read all files specified in the prompt. These stay in context for all subsequent steps
3. Execute steps — follow instructions in sequence, handle feedback loops as described
4. Write result — structured summary to the specified output path

Result Format

# Phase Result

**Date:** {date}
**Status:** COMPLETE | PARTIAL | FAILED

## Steps Executed

### {step-name} — {PASS|FAIL}
- {summary}

## Result
{Key outcomes the orchestrator needs to decide the next phase}

## Files Modified
- {list of files created or changed}

Constraints

• Does not spawn other agents
• Follows the execution plan — does not skip or reorder on its own
• Handles feedback loops within the phase as described in the prompt
• Returns result when done or when max retries exceeded

Troubleshooting

Agent fails to start

Cause: Model not available or not configured for the provider. Solution: Run /arc:project init --refine and update Agent Tiers to match the provider's available models.

Agent exceeds context window

Cause: Too many test files or AC scenarios loaded, or too many feedback loop iterations. Solution: Reduce --max-retries, narrow the file scope in the orchestrator prompt, or skip optional phases (--skip=test-review, --skip=test-mutate).

Test phase takes too long

Cause: All test sub-skills running with full feedback loops. Solution: Use --skip=test-mutate for faster iteration. Mutation testing is the most expensive phase and can be run separately after the main cycle.
