Self-Healing Error Resolution
The Problem
Agents encounter errors: browser timeouts, rate limits, changed file paths. In a naive setup, tasks fail silently.
How It Works
Each agent attempts three distinct approaches before surfacing a problem. If a tool fails, analyze and retry. If rate limited, rotate to backup API. A nightly failure scan reviews all sessions and posts a categorized digest every morning.
The Prompts That Drive This
The self-healing pattern is built into each agent's instructions: analyze, retry with alternative, escalate only after three failures.

Daily Security Auditing & Hardening
Configuration changes drift over time. A new tool gets installed, permissions get reset during an update. These need to be caught early.
Agents That Improve Themselves Weekly
Static prompts degrade over time as the world changes. Agents need to identify their own gaps and propose fixes.
Automated Nightly Backup to GitHub
If the machine dies, you need to restore the entire agent setup quickly. Expired credentials are the number one cause of silent failures.
