# AI generation failures

### When to use

* Generation does not start after sending the prompt.
* Generation keeps “running” for a long time.
* The result comes back incomplete or inconsistent with the prompt.

### Quick checklist (2 min)

1. Simplify the prompt. Make a minimal version.
2. Generate again. Avoid multiple parallel submissions.
3. Reload the page. Try an incognito window.
4. Disable adblock/privacy extensions for the domain.

### Diagnosis

#### 1) Is what you asked for “executable”?

* The prompt has **goal**, **modules/entities**, and **minimal screens**.
* Avoid ambiguity: “a complete system” without scope explodes cost and time.

#### 2) Is the error network/UI related?

* Open the browser Console.
* Check if there is a failing request (401/403/429/5xx).

#### 3) Is the error capacity/limit related?

* If there is a “rate limit”, wait a few minutes and try again.
* Avoid giant prompts. Break them into steps.

### How to resolve (patterns)

* **Gets stuck halfway**: reduce the scope and generate in increments.
* **Poor specification**: force structure with sections and bullets.
* **Result missing parts**: ask for only 1 thing at a time (“add X”, then “adjust Y”).

### When to escalate

* The same minimal prompt fails 3 times.
* Repeatable 5xx error.
* Generation completes, but the app does not run even in Preview.

Before escalating, gather this evidence. It greatly reduces back-and-forth.

* Project and environment (Dev/Staging/Prod).
* Time of the error (with timezone).
* Steps to reproduce (short and deterministic).
* Full error message (no cropped screenshots).
* Screenshot of the screen (if applicable).
* Browser console (relevant errors and warnings).
* Tab **Network** (request that failed + status + payload, if there is no sensitive data).

If there is a `requestId`, `traceId` or execution link, include it as well.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.madrix.dev/troubleshooting/ai-generation-failures.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
