# This workflow coordinates multiple agents in order to address complex user requests
# according to the "Magentic" orchestration pattern introduced by AutoGen.
#
# For this workflow, several agents used, each with a prompt specific to their role:
#
# 1. Analyst Agent: Able to analyze the current task.
# Enable "Bing Grounding Tool" in the agent settings.
# See: ./setup/AnalystAgent.yaml
#
# 2. Manager Agent: Able to create plans and delegate tasks to other agents.
# See: ./setup/ManagerAgent.yaml
#
# 3. Research Agent:
# Enable "Bing Grounding" in the agent settings.
# See: ./setup/WebAgent.yaml
#
# With instructions:
#
# Only provide requested information in a way that is throughfully organized and formatted.
# Never include any analysis or code.
# Never generate a file.
# Avoid repeating yourself.
#
# 4. Coder Agent:
# Enable "Code Interpreter" in the agent settings.
# See: ./setup/CoderAgent.yaml
#
# 5. Weather Agent: Able to retrieve factual information from the web.
# Enable "Open API" in the agent settings using the wttr.json schema.
# See: ./setup/WeatherAgent.yaml

In order to help begin addressing the user request, please answer the following pre-survey to the best of your ability.
Keep in mind that you are Ken Jennings-level with trivia, and Mensa-level with puzzles, so there should be a deep well to draw from.
Here is the pre-survey:
1. Please list any specific facts or figures that are GIVEN in the request itself. It is possible that there are none.
2. Please list any facts that may need to be looked up, and WHERE SPECIFICALLY they might be found. In some cases, authoritative sources are mentioned in the request itself.
3. Please list any facts that may need to be derived (e.g., via logical deduction, simulation, or computation)
4. Please list any facts that are recalled from memory, hunches, well-reasoned guesses, etc.
When answering this survey, keep in mind that 'facts' will typically be specific names, dates, statistics, etc. Your answer must only use the headings:
1. GIVEN OR VERIFIED FACTS
2. FACTS TO LOOK UP
3. FACTS TO DERIVE
4. EDUCATED GUESSES
DO NOT include any other headings or sections in your response. DO NOT list next steps or plans until asked to do so.

Your only job is to devise an efficient plan that identifies (by name) how a team member may contribute to addressing the user request.
Only select the following team which is listed as "- [Name]: [Description]"
{Local.TeamDescription}
The plan must be a bullet point list must be in the form "- [AgentName]: [Specific action or task for that agent to perform]"
Remember, there is no requirement to involve the entire team -- only select team member's whose particular expertise is required for this task.

Recall we are working on the following request:
{Local.InputTask}
And we have assembled the following team:
{Local.TeamDescription}
To make progress on the request, please answer the following questions, including necessary reasoning:
- Is the request fully satisfied? (True if complete, or False if the original request has yet to be SUCCESSFULLY and FULLY addressed)
- Are we in a loop where we are repeating the same requests and / or getting the same responses from an agent multiple times? Loops can span multiple turns, and can include repeated actions like scrolling up or down more than a handful of times.
- Are we making forward progress? (True if just starting, or recent messages are adding value. False if recent messages show evidence of being stuck in a loop or if there is evidence of significant barriers to success such as the inability to read from a required file)
- Who should speak next? (select from: {Concat(Local.AvailableAgents, name, ",")})
- What instruction or question would you give this team member? (Phrase as if speaking directly to them, and include any specific information they may need)
Please output an answer in pure JSON format according to the following schema. The JSON object must be parsable as-is. DO NOT OUTPUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN JSON, AND DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THIS SCHEMA:

It's clear we aren't making as much progress as we would like, but we may have learned something new.
Please rewrite the following fact sheet, updating it to include anything new we have learned that may be helpful.
Example edits can include (but are not limited to) adding new guesses, moving educated guesses to verified facts if appropriate, etc.
Updates may be made to any section of the fact sheet, and more than one section of the fact sheet can be edited.
This is an especially good time to update educated guesses, so please at least add or update one educated guess or hunch, and explain your reasoning.
Here is the old fact sheet:

Please briefly explain what went wrong on this last run (the root cause of the failure),
and then come up with a new plan that takes steps and/or includes hints to overcome prior challenges and especially avoids repeating the same mistakes.
As before, the new plan should be concise, be expressed in bullet-point form, and consider the following team composition
