Catalogue/Agents/Flail Detector

Flail Detector

adlc · Agent

Flail detector watches the session log of a build agent for signs that it is going round in circles. It applies a mechanical two-strike rule across five signals: the same error repeating, files written outside a declared scope, the same file edited again and again, a log past a size limit, and token spend over a ticket's budget. On a trigger it prints a recommendation and exits with code 2, and it accepts plain-text or JSONL logs without making any model calls.

Written by ooruby from the README of @adlc/flail-detector 1.12.0.

Not claimed by its maker. Is this yours? Prove it and answer the findings

Why it's useful

It spots an agent going in circles from its own log using fixed rules, so no extra model call is needed to notice.

What you could do with it

  1. 1Point it at a session log with a scope pattern to see whether the agent wrote to files outside the ticket's scope.
  2. 2Set how many times an error may repeat in the log before the check fails.
  3. 3Pass the tokens spent and the ticket's budget so the check fails when spend goes over it.

Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.

Maintenance

Not measured

No release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.

Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured

How far this has been checked

Static scanned

What it establishes
Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
What it does not
How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
Exactly what was read
Version 1.12.0, the file with digest sha512-8amZpmiYKCUpLsi09Py93fYdJHwgMHPXKMWS/8UlP9Fv/MiN5Hjg5OPx0xtqLZhlEt4UwY5hfN7yIST4s/b9RA==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
Authentication
Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.

Adding it

The badge, if this is your listing

It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
