# Free sample — Agent Timeout Retry Policy

**Skill ID:** `agent-timeout-retry-policy`  
**Full unlock:** $4.99 USDC via x402 on Base  
**Challenge:** https://lvlltd.com/api/pay?skill=agent-timeout-retry-policy  
**Outline JSON:** https://lvlltd.com/skills/agent-timeout-retry-policy/outline.json

## Summary

Production timeout, retry, and backoff policies for agent tool calls — budgets, jitter, and stop rules.

## When to use

- Agent tool calls hang or thrash without a budget
- You need consistent retry/backoff across a multi-agent crew
- You want stop rules before runaway spend or loops

## Decision criteria (buy vs skip)

- You need this when: Agent tool calls hang or thrash without a budget
- You get capability: Timeout budgets
- Budget fits: full unlock is $4.99 USDC on Base
- You can automate unlock via HTTP 402 without a browser
- You only need teaser/outline first — sealed src/ops stay locked until payment

## Outline (preview)

1. Inventory tools
2. Assign timeout budgets
3. Configure retries
4. Add stop rules
5. Emit policy pack

## Capabilities (preview)

- Timeout budgets
- Retry/backoff with jitter
- Idempotency keys
- Stop rules / escalate

## What you get after payment

- SKILL.md (teaser public)
- agent-install.json (public meta)
- src/index.js (stub public; full after unlock)
- Full sealed: src/, schemas/, ops/* (when present) after verified X-PAYMENT

# Agent Timeout Retry Policy

Define timeout, retry, and circuit-breaker policies for tools.

## Gap closed
no timeout/retry policy skill

## Core workflow
1. Clarify goal, constraints, and success metric
2. Gather available evidence and inventory assets
3. Produce the primary artifact (plan, table, pack, or patch)
4. Run safety and quality gates
5. Log outcomes and feed RSEO / forge gaps

## Safety
- No real secrets, private keys, or exploit/malware content.
- Prefer verified evidence; mark provisional claims.
- Super Alignment on dual-use, persuasion, and money movement.
- Not legal, tax, medical, or financial advice — operational tooling only.
- Human escalate on high blast radius.

## Scripts
- `scripts/validate-agent-timeout-retry-policy.sh` — structure smoke test

## Test
```bash
export SKILLS_ROOT=/mnt/c/Users/Josep/.grok/skills
bash $SKILLS_ROOT/agent-timeout-retry-policy/scripts/validate-agent-timeout-retry-policy.sh
```

## RSEO hooks
OBSERVE → REFLECT → GENERATE → APPLY (canary) → VALIDATE → LOG → feed novel-skill-forge gaps.

## Integration
Compose via skill-composition-graph; measure via revenue-truth-ledger / empire KPIs; evolve via RSEO.

## Success metrics
- Produces a concrete artifact each
