corrective-preventive-action

Provide the issue, objective, constraints, and current state. The skill classifies the problem, contains it, investigates root cause, designs corrective actions, and outputs a plan with owners, due dates, risk tiers, and effectiveness metrics.

Correction addresses the immediate symptom, while corrective action eliminates the root cause to prevent recurrence. This skill covers both, plus preventive action that spreads learning to stop similar issues systemically.

Root cause investigation is step three of the analysis framework, after classification and containment. The skill pairs with the related root-cause-analysis skill and requires evidence and confidence ratings before designing actions.

No. It escalates legal, safety, clinical, engineering, and other regulated judgments to qualified specialists. Its autonomy ceiling is L2, meaning it executes only authorized low-risk reversible internal actions.

Track CAPA aging, effectiveness, recurrence, and systemic coverage, each with baseline, target, actual, trend, confidence, and owner. The skill also monitors recommendation calibration and execution quality over time.

Avoid it during active emergencies, where incident or crisis workflows take command first. Also do not apply generic benchmarks before comparability is calibrated, or skip licensed specialists for regulated determinations.
