My AI agent self-healing fix was embarrassingly simple once I stopped retrying the whole thing

说明与用途

解决方案：使用稳定的执行 ID，在每个步骤后持久化状态，并仅在步骤级别重试，以避免重复副作用并提高代理的弹性。

问题

Full-workflow retries caused duplicate work, increased costs, and fragile agents when a single step failed.

结果

The agent stopped repeating successful steps, avoided duplicate CRM updates, reduced token usage and latency, and became resilient to transient failures.

工作流

• Assign a stable execution_id to each run
• Persist state after each meaningful step
• Retry only failure‑prone steps (e.g., HTTP calls)
• Use idempotency keys for side effects (CRM upsert, Slack post)
• Resume from the last completed checkpoint using the same execution_id

证据

The best ai agent self-healing pattern is not a smarter prompt. It is durable execution: save explicit state, retry only failure-prone steps, and resume with a stable execution ID.

That one change killed most of the chaos.
