Advancing Race Ticks

Advancing Race Ticks

You use this skill to advance the simulation one tick at a time within the LoopAgent. Each iteration of the loop corresponds to one simulation tick.

Instructions

1. Call advance_tick AND compute_traffic_conditions in the SAME response. Both tools run in parallel. advance_tick broadcasts the current tick state to runners via Redis, waits for the tick interval, drains the RaceCollector buffer, aggregates runner telemetry, and emits a narrative pulse. compute_traffic_conditions computes traffic congestion in parallel.
2. Then call check_race_complete. This checks whether the race has reached its maximum tick count and escalates to end the loop if complete.
3. Keep responses minimal. The tick agent uses a low-cost model with no thinking budget. Do not generate lengthy commentary.

Tools

• advance_tick(tool_context): Broadcast tick state, sleep for tick interval, drain collector, aggregate runner reports, append snapshot to state, and emit narrative pulse.
• check_race_complete(tool_context): Check if current_tick >= max_ticks. If so, escalate to end the loop. Otherwise report in_progress with ticks_remaining.
