-You have sent the same message again. You have to do something else!
+You have sent the same message again (attempt {{retry_count}}/3).
+
+Your previous response was identical. This usually happens when:
+- You're unsure how to proceed
+- You're waiting for external input
+- You're stuck in a reasoning loop
+
+To break this loop, try ONE of these approaches:
+1. If uncertain: Use the response tool to ask the user for clarification
+2. If stuck: Try a different tool or approach to make progress
+3. If blocked: Explain the blocker and what you need to proceed
+4. If waiting: Check status and report current state instead of repeating
+
+IMPORTANT: Do NOT repeat the same message. Choose a different action now.
