To document root causes and prevent recurrence, apply a five-dimensional analysis framework during post-debugging sessions to classify the bug, define prevention mechanisms, and update project specifications.

The best way to analyze failed earlier fixes is to perform a failure analysis that examines why previous attempts missed the root cause, allowing you to define architectural or testing measures to avoid repeat occurrences.

To categorize bugs like missing specs or cross-layer contracts, use a root cause categorization framework that classifies the underlying issue and captures the implicit assumptions that led to the defect.

To update .trellis spec guides, run a post-debugging analysis skill that automatically syncs templates, creates issue records, and commits changes to embed the root cause insights directly into the codebase.

Yes, you can automate knowledge capture by running a post-debugging analysis that generates actionable prevention mechanisms, updates spec guides, and commits the changes directly to embed insights into the repository.

You need a structured post-debugging framework when you want to move beyond immediate fixes and systematically identify root cause categories, define prevention mechanisms, and integrate knowledge into project specifications.
