\section{OPT-Aware Agent Skills}
|
|
\label{app:opt-agent-skills}
|
|
|
|
This appendix enumerates conceptual skills that may be incorporated into
|
|
agentic AI systems to support mechanism-aware planning, execution, diagnosis,
|
|
and repair using the Operational Premise Taxonomy (OPT). These skills are
|
|
descriptive rather than prescriptive; they define \emph{capabilities} that may
|
|
be implemented using a variety of agent architectures, programming languages,
|
|
or reasoning engines.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{OPT Classification Skill}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Purpose.}
|
|
Identify the operative mechanisms present in a system description, source code,
|
|
tool invocation, or execution trace.
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Description.}
|
|
Given a representation of a system or subcomponent, the agent produces an
|
|
OPT--Code describing the dominant and supporting mechanisms. This skill enables
|
|
mechanism awareness and provides the foundation for subsequent reasoning.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{OPT--Intent Proposal Skill}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Purpose.}
|
|
Generate an OPT--Intent declaration during design or planning.
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Description.}
|
|
Given a goal, constraints, and deployment context, the agent proposes a set of
|
|
intended operative mechanisms, anticipated risks, and constraints. This skill
|
|
supports disciplined planning and avoids unexamined default choices.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{OPT Alignment Evaluation Skill}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Purpose.}
|
|
Assess consistency between OPT--Intent and OPT--Code.
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Description.}
|
|
The agent compares intended mechanisms against those actually employed,
|
|
identifying additions, omissions, or substitutions. Deviations are flagged as
|
|
mechanism drift and may trigger repair or escalation.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Mechanism-Guided Error Diagnosis Skill}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Purpose.}
|
|
Interpret errors in terms of underlying operative mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Description.}
|
|
Rather than diagnosing failures solely at the level of outputs, the agent
|
|
conditions its diagnosis on the OPT root(s) involved, narrowing the space of
|
|
plausible failure modes and repair strategies.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Constraint-Preserving Repair Skill}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Purpose.}
|
|
Propose repairs that respect declared mechanism constraints.
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Description.}
|
|
Given an error and an OPT--Intent declaration, the agent proposes corrective
|
|
actions that preserve or explicitly justify changes to the operative
|
|
mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{OPT Memory and Traceability Skill}
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Purpose.}
|
|
Maintain a mechanism-aware record of decisions and outcomes.
|
|
|
|
\textbf{Description.}
|
|
The agent records OPT--Intent declarations, OPT--Code observations, alignment
|
|
checks, and repairs, supporting auditability and longitudinal analysis.
