TASK-OPS-103-03 · Task family
Multi-turn issue resolution. Necessary clarification, accurate tool use and the correct resolution.
Overview. Identify the affected workspace and cause, and resolve or route the issue.
A customer reports a vague problem. The agent has to ask the questions that narrow it down, find the right account and workspace, and resolve the issue or route it correctly.
The simulated customer knows only what a real user would and answers consistently. Guessing the workspace, or giving generic advice without investigating, both fail.
Value to the buyer
Trains clarification and investigation, the skills that separate resolution from plausible answers.

Sample prompt. What the agent is asked to do, as a buyer would see it.
A user at Norhaven Labs writes: 'Exports keep failing since Monday.' Norhaven has two workspaces, one on the Starter plan and one on Business. Find out what's happening and resolve it.
Verification criteria. What the verifier checks, and how.
Workspace identified
The agent asks which workspace and export destination before acting.
Entitlement checked
Exports to cloud storage aren't included on Starter. The agent says so if that's the workspace.
Cause found
On Business, the storage credential expired on Monday.
Correct resolution
The user is guided to renew the credential, or the case is routed with the finding.
Efficient dialogue
No redundant questions about information already in the account.
Key failure modes. Where agents go wrong on this task.
- Assuming the Business workspace without asking
- Pasting a generic troubleshooting article
- Upselling the Starter workspace when the problem is on Business
