Welp- I experienced an unanticipated error in nodogsplash on a build:
This is an ansible-playbook installation task screenshot showing the compilation error.
So I sent my agent after it. I fed a claude session with a troubleshooting prompt and directed it to review the source code in the directory and gave it permission to ssh into a the recipient image that was failing:
Cool to see my “AgentLessonsLearned” concept being explored. See this to get context on AgentLessonsLearned.
and then the agent made progress on identifying the root cause:
The agent tries to make a fix:
And now I validated that the fix works!
I resumed the build and the issue was fixed!
What does this mean?
- I don’t have to parse difficult to read error messages to figure out the source of the problem.
- I don’t have to do google searches to troubleshoot exotic errors.
- I get a document that tells me what problems were experienced, how they were diagnosed and how they were fixed. I get the lessons learned without the work.
- I feel like I’m a little further up on the productivity asymptote.
- Protoypes that used to take me over a month are done in a couple days.
Is this cool to you? Connect with me on twitter (@patrickmccanna) with a project proposal for a raspberry pi. Feel free to add hardware like the pi sense hat or the Inky hat. Let’s see how quickly I can turn user requirements into a working prototype!
