Pipeline Insights Skill

pipeline-insights

AI-powered pipeline diagnostics. Explains why faces weren't detected, tracked, embedded, or clustered using OpenAI GPT-4o analysis. Use when debugging pipeline issues, reviewing unclustered tracks, or understanding why quality gates rejected faces.

Pipeline Insights Skill

Use this skill to get AI-powered explanations for pipeline failures.

When to Use

  • Track wasn't clustered and you don't know why
  • Faces show "skipped" but the reason isn't clear
  • Quality gate rejected faces you expected to pass
  • Need to understand which config threshold to adjust
  • Batch diagnosing unclustered tracks

Quick Start

Diagnose a Single Track

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/​diagnostics/​episodes/​{ep_id}/​diagnose_track/​{track_id}"

Diagnose All Unclustered Tracks

curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/​diagnostics/​episodes/​{ep_id}/​diagnose_unclustered" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/​json" \
  -d '{"max_tracks": 50}'

Check Service Status

curl "http://localhost:8000/​diagnostics/​status"

Understanding Results

Stage Progression

Each track progresses through these stages:

StageDescriptionFailure Meaning
detectedRetinaFace found a faceFace not visible or below confidence
trackedByteTrack linked across framesLost tracking or single-frame only
embeddedArcFace generated 512-d embeddingQuality gate rejected (blur, pose, contrast)
clusteredAgglomerative clustering assigned identityBelow similarity threshold or outlier

Common Failure Patterns

"embedding:min_blur_score"

Cause: Face too blurry (motion blur, out of focus)

Check: max_blur_score in diagnostic vs threshold (default: 18.0)

Fix: Lower config/​pipeline/​faces_embed_sampling.yaml:

quality_gating:
  min_blur_score: 10.0  # default is 18.0
"clustering:min_identity_sim"

Cause: Embedding didn't match any existing cluster

Check: nearest_cluster_sim in diagnostic

Fix: Lower config/​pipeline/​clustering.yaml:

cluster_thresh: 0.44  # default is 0.52
min_identity_sim: 0.40  # default is 0.45
"detection:confidence"

Cause: Face detection confidence too low

Fix: Lower config/​pipeline/​detection.yaml:

confidence_th: 0.40  # default is 0.50

Config Reference

Embedding Thresholds

File: config/​pipeline/​faces_embed_sampling.yaml

KeyDefaultDescription
min_blur_score18.0Minimum Laplacian variance (sharpness)
min_confidence0.45Minimum detection confidence
min_quality_score1.5Combined quality score
max_yaw_angle60.0Maximum head rotation (degrees)
max_pitch_angle45.0Maximum head tilt (degrees)

Clustering Thresholds

File: config/​pipeline/​clustering.yaml

KeyDefaultDescription
cluster_thresh0.52Cosine similarity for clustering
min_identity_sim0.45Minimum similarity to centroid
min_cluster_size1Minimum tracks per cluster

Diagnostic Output Example

{

  "stage_reached": "tracked",
  "stage_failed": "embedded",
  "raw_data": {
    "faces_count": 1,
    "faces_skipped": 1,
    "skip_reasons": ["blurry:10.8"],
    "max_blur_score": 10.78,
    "embedding_generated": false
  },
  "ai_analysis": {
    "explanation": "Track 59 has only 1 face, and that face was too blurry (score 10.78) to generate an embedding. The minimum blur threshold is 18.0.",
    "root_cause": "Single-frame track with blur below quality gate",
    "blocked_by": "embedding:min_blur_score",
    "suggested_fixes": [
      "Lower min_blur_score to 10.0",
      "Manually assign track in Faces Review UI"
    ],
    "config_changes": [{
      "file": "config/​pipeline/​faces_embed_sampling.yaml",
      "key": "quality_gating.min_blur_score",
      "current": 18.0,
      "suggested": 10.0,
      "reason": "Allow blurrier faces for short tracks"
    }]
  }
}

Environment Variables

VariableRequiredDefaultDescription
DIAGNOSTIC_PROVIDERNoanthropicAI provider: anthropic or openai
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYIf using Anthropic-Anthropic API key
ANTHROPIC_DIAGNOSTIC_MODELNoclaude-sonnet-4-20250514Claude model to use
OPENAI_API_KEYIf using OpenAI-OpenAI API key
OPENAI_DIAGNOSTIC_MODELNogpt-4oOpenAI model to use

Provider Fallback: If the preferred provider is unavailable, falls back to the other provider. If neither API key is set, uses rule-based analysis.
