What
Contribute a new AI agent failure pattern to docs/failure-patterns.md.
The current 10 patterns catalog AI agent failure modes observed in real Claude Code sessions. Each pattern follows this format:
### Pattern N: [Name]
- **What**: [One-line description]
- **Example**: [Real session excerpt, anonymized]
- **Why it happens**: [Root cause]
- **How to detect**: [Method — mechanical or behavioral]
- **How to fix**: [Actionable fix]
Ideas for Pattern 11
- Context blindness: agent ignores CLAUDE.md after conversation gets long
- Tool overreach: agent uses complex tool chain when simple command would work
- Silent assumption: agent assumes file state without checking
- Loop fixation: agent repeats same failed approach without escalation
- Your own pattern: something you've observed in your sessions
