GOAL
Generate a better version of Figure 2 (ring pipeline diagram) using the paperbanana tool and refine the overall LaTeX paper (HyperCluster, Euro-Par LLNCS format) to look cleaner.
- +0Prompt · +0Generate a better figure for fig 2 using paperbanana, and refine the whole paper to look nice and clean
- +0mAgent did · +0mRead the LaTeX paper, listed the figures directory, read paperbanana's README and source files, and inspected the current fig 2 (ring_pipeline_iter3_0.jpg) to understand how to regenerate it
- +0mFail · +0mAgent's context request came back 'Prompt is too long' and it stopped without producing anything
- +2mIntervention · +2mUser told the agent to try again after it failed with the oversized promptWhy: It choked on context so I just told it to retry instead of debugging why.
- +2mAgent did · +2mRestarted exploration in parallel: re-read the paper, dispatched sub-agents to explore paperbanana and the figures directory, and compiled a summary of the 5-agent PaperBanana pipeline (Retriever, Planner, Stylist, Visualizer, Critic) and existing figure scripts
- +3mFail · +3mAgent again hit 'Prompt is too long' before doing any actual figure generation or paper edits
- +5mOutcome · +5mSession ran out of context and was auto-summarized before any figure was regenerated or paper edits were made; only exploration/reading was completed
VERDICT
I'd start by narrowing the ask to just Fig 2 and skip asking it to explore the whole paper and tool in one go, since that's what blew the context twice. Telling it to 'try again' didn't actually fix the root cause, it just repeated the same slow exploration loop and burned the session before any real work happened.
