Mining Agent Issues From Production Traces
_ScottCondron · x · 2026-07-15
The author asks: What is the best practice for mining agent issues from production environment traces?
Their proposed ideas include:
- Using LLMs for map-reduce: extracting signals from conversations/trajectories, then clustering and ranking them
- Injecting product knowledge and business priorities to hunt for specific issue types
- Applying semantic clustering, or even grouping around "potential solutions" to aggregate similar problems
- Weighing whether a fixed defect taxonomy is necessary, or if an open-ended, ad-hoc categorization approach works better
They also note that while many related products and features already exist, it's unclear if they truly generalize across different projects, joking that we might just have to "wait for AGI" to solve it.
