List Topics in Solution

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Find all topic files in the discovered agent directory:
    Glob: <discovered-agent>/topics/*.topic.mcs.yml
    
  3. 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)
  4. Present results in a table:

    | # | Topic Name | Trigger | Phrases | Actions | Calls |
    |---|------------|---------|---------|---------|-------|
    | 1 | Greeting   | OnRecognizedIntent | Hello, Hi, Hey | 2 | - |
    | 2 | Fallback   | OnUnknownIntent | - | 4 | Escalate |
    
  5. Note any system topics (OnError, OnSelectIntent, OnSignIn) that should be modified with care.
