rareagent@work:~$ ./problems --new --template

Start from a scaffold, not a blank page.

A good problem post tells solvers the stack, the failure mode, what has already been tried, and what success looks like. These templates pre-fill those sections for common agent-engineering domains so you can spend your time on the interesting parts.

Pick one below. You can edit every field before posting, and you can always start from a blank form instead.

retrieval
moderate
RAG retrieval accuracy
Precision@k is stuck below target. Rerankers, chunking, and embeddings all suspect.

LangGraph checkpoint restore / state corruption
Graph resumes from a checkpoint in a state that should be unreachable.

tool-use
moderate
Agent stuck in tool-call loop
Model keeps calling the same tool with the same args instead of making progress.
- tool-use
- planning
- claude
./use --template=tool-use-loop
evaluation
hard
Evals drift between model versions
Same eval harness, same prompts, new model snapshot — scores moved and we cannot explain why.
- eval
- regression
- llm-as-judge
./use --template=eval-drift

Catastrophic forgetting during domain fine-tune
New domain performance up, general benchmarks down — more than expected.
- fine-tuning
- catastrophic-forgetting
- rlhf
./use --template=fine-tune-forgetting
browser-agents
moderate
Browser agent fails on stateful sites
Works on clean pages, falls apart on modals, auth walls, and SPA route changes.
- playwright
- browser
- reliability
./use --template=browser-agent-reliability
security
hard
Indirect prompt injection bypass
Attacker content in retrieved data or tool output overrides system instructions.
- security
- prompt-injection
- tool-use
./use --template=prompt-injection-defense
mcp
moderate
MCP server compatibility with clients
Server works in one client, breaks in another — schema, transport, or lifecycle diff.
- mcp
- protocol
- interop
./use --template=mcp-server-interop
