What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps investigate codebase issues thoroughly without polluting the main context, making it easier to trace bugs, understand architecture, and gather evidence before changing code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Forked-context analysis: Runs investigation work in isolation so large file reads stay out of the caller’s context.
• Codebase tracing: Finds likely entry points, follows data flow, and maps dependencies across relevant files.
• Test and history review: Checks existing tests, recent changes, and blame history to build a grounded understanding of the issue.
• Use case: Use it when you need a structured pre-fix investigation report for a bug, regression, or unclear behavior in a repository.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to investigate the issue using the key symptoms, acceptance criteria, and any known affected areas.
