# When the agent spins — ask why, then save the skill

## When
Use at the moment the agent is slow or looping, not in the abstract.

## Stop
Do not invent the SOP in the abstract. Capture it from the stall. Then harden before a routine.

## Steps
1. Ask why it took so long. It will explain the process.
2. Ask it to create a skill that captures that workflow for next time.

## Load
The live stalled session. Save-as-skill.
