List Topics in Solution

List all topics in the current agent with their trigger types and details.

Instructions

  • Auto-discover the agent directory — find all agents via:
   Glob: **/agent.mcs.yml
  • If multiple agents found, list them and ask which one to inspect.
  • NEVER hardcode an agent name or path.
  • Find all topic files in the discovered agent directory:
   Glob: <discovered-agent>/topics/*.topic.mcs.yml
  • For each topic file, read it and extract:
  • Topic name (from the # Name: comment or filename)
  • Trigger type (from beginDialog.kind)
  • Trigger phrases (if OnRecognizedIntent, from triggerQueries)
  • Number of actions in the actions array
  • Dialog references (any BeginDialog or ReplaceDialog calls)
  • Present results in a table:
   | # | Topic Name | Trigger | Phrases | Actions | Calls |
   |---|------------|---------|---------|---------|-------|
   | 1 | Greeting   | OnRecognizedIntent | Hello, Hi, Hey | 2 | - |
   | 2 | Fallback   | OnUnknownIntent | - | 4 | Escalate |
  • Note any system topics (OnError, OnSelectIntent, OnSignIn) that should be modified with care.
