# Lindy Debug Bundle

## Current State
!`node --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'Node.js not installed'`
!`python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'Python not installed'`
!`curl --version 2>/dev/null | head -1 || echo 'curl not installed'`

## Overview
Systematic diagnostics for Lindy AI agent issues. Collects environment info,
tests API connectivity, reviews agent task history, and generates a support
bundle for Lindy's support team.

## Prerequisites
- Access to Lindy dashboard (https://app.lindy.ai)
- curl installed for API testing
- Agent ID and webhook URLs available

## Instructions

### Step 1: Collect Environment Info
```bash
# Local environment diagnostics
echo "=== Local Environment ==="
echo "Node: $(node --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A')"
echo "Python: $(python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A')"
echo "OS: $(uname -srm)"
echo "Date: $(date -u '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S UTC')"
echo "LINDY_API_KEY set: $([ -n "$LINDY_API_KEY" ] && echo 'yes' || echo 'NO')"
echo "LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET set: $([ -n "$LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET" ] && echo 'yes' || echo 'NO')"
```

### Step 2: Test Webhook Connectivity
```bash
# Test webhook trigger endpoint
echo "=== Webhook Connectivity ==="
WEBHOOK_URL="${LINDY_WEBHOOK_URL:-https://public.lindy.ai/api/v1/webhooks/YOUR_ID}"

# Test without auth (expect 401)
echo "Without auth (expect 401):"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "HTTP %{http_code} in %{time_total}s\n" \
  -X POST "$WEBHOOK_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"test": true}'

# Test with auth (expect 200)
echo "With auth (expect 200):"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "HTTP %{http_code} in %{time_total}s\n" \
  -X POST "$WEBHOOK_URL" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINDY_WEBHOOK_SECRET" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"test": true, "debug": "bundle-test"}'
```

### Step 3: Review Agent Task History
In the Lindy dashboard:
1. Navigate to the failing agent
2. Open the **Tasks** tab
3. Filter by **Failed** status
4. For each failed task:
   - Note the timestamp
   - Click to expand step-by-step execution
   - Identify the failing step (marked red)
   - Copy the error message and input/output data
5. Look for patterns: same step failing? same time of day? same input type?

### Step 4: Check Integration Health
```bash
# Test outbound connectivity to common Lindy integration targets
echo "=== Integration Targets ==="
for url in \
  "https://public.lindy.ai" \
  "https://slack.com/api/auth.test" \
  "https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/profile" \
  "https://api.notion.com/v1/users/me"
do
  status=$(curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" --max-time 5 "$url" 2>/dev/null)
  echo "$url -> HTTP $status"
done
```

### Step 5: Diagnose Specific Failure Types

**Trigger not firing**:
- Verify agent status: active (not paused)
- Check trigger filter conditions
- For webhooks: test URL with curl
- For email: re-authorize Gmail/Outlook
- For schedule: verify timezone settings

**Action failing**:
- Check integration authorization (re-auth if token expired)
- Verify field references: `{{step_name.field}}` syntax correct
- Test the target service independently
- Check if action is a Premium Action (requires Pro plan)

**Agent step looping**:
- Review exit conditions — are they achievable?
- Check credit consumption (rapid drain = looping)
- Reduce available skills to 2-4 focused ones
- Add a fallback exit condition

**High credit consumption**:
- Review model selection: Gemini Flash (cheap) vs GPT-4 (expensive)
- Check for unnecessary agent steps (use deterministic actions instead)
- Review loop configurations for unbounded max cycles

### Step 6: Generate Support Bundle
Compile the following for a support ticket to [email protected]:
```markdown
## Lindy Support Bundle

**Account**: [your email]
**Agent Name**: [agent name]
**Agent URL**: https://app.lindy.ai/agents/[agent-id]
**Issue Start**: [date/time UTC]
**Frequency**: [every time / intermittent / once]

### Environment
- Browser: [Chrome/Firefox/Safari version]
- Plan: [Free/Pro/Business/Enterprise]
- Credit Balance: [remaining credits]

### Reproduction Steps
1. [step 1]
2. [step 2]

### Failed Task IDs
- [task-id-1] at [timestamp]
- [task-id-2] at [timestamp]

### Error Messages
[Copy exact error text from task detail view]

### What I Tried
- [attempt 1]
- [attempt 2]
```

## Diagnostic Decision Tree

```
Agent not working?
├── No task created → Check trigger configuration
│   ├── Webhook? → Test with curl (Step 2)
│   ├── Email? → Re-authorize + check filters
│   └── Schedule? → Check timezone + credit balance
├── Task created but failed → Check task detail view
│   ├── Trigger step failed → Auth/connectivity issue
│   ├── Action step failed → Integration auth expired
│   ├── Condition step failed → Ambiguous condition prompt
│   └── Agent step looping → Exit conditions unreachable
└── Task completed but wrong result → Prompt/config issue
    ├── Wrong output → Refine agent prompt
    ├── Missing data → Check field references
    └── Partial execution → Review condition branches
```

## Error Handling

| Symptom | Likely Cause | Resolution |
|---------|-------------|------------|
| All agents failing simultaneously | Lindy platform outage | Check status.lindy.ai |
| Single agent failing | Agent-specific config issue | Review task detail view |
| Intermittent failures | Rate limits or credit exhaustion | Check usage dashboard |
| Slow execution | Model too large or too many steps | Switch to Gemini Flash, consolidate steps |
