SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Diagnoses a single suspect area through focused evidence to prevent scope creep and premature conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bounded scope: Examines ONE suspect area with explicit boundaries.
  • Evidence-driven reasoning: Collects both confirming and disconfirming evidence and updates confidence accordingly.
  • Structured handoff: Produces an Exam Note documenting findings and recommended next steps.

Quick Start

Run a focused exam on the selected suspect area and generate an Exam Note capturing scope, evidence, and confidence updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a focused diagnostic exam to prevent scope creep during triage?

A focused diagnostic exam bounds investigations to a single suspect area, gathering confirming and disconfirming evidence to prevent scope creep. It enforces strict workflow boundaries and produces a structured Exam Note documenting findings and confidence updates.

What is evidence-based triage and when do I need it for software investigation?

Evidence-based triage systematically bounds examinations to one suspect area, collecting evidence to update confidence and avoid premature conclusions. You need it during diagnostic sessions when investigating complex issues requiring formal hypothesis testing and structured handoff.

How do I structure a diagnostic exam note for formal handoff?

Structure a diagnostic exam note using the EXAM_NOTE.md template to document scope boundaries, collected evidence, confidence updates, and recommended next steps. This ensures structured handoff with formal documentation of all findings from the focused investigation.

Can I examine multiple suspect areas in a single triage session?

No, this exam enforces bounded scope to examine exactly one suspect area at a time. This explicit boundary prevents scope creep and ensures evidence-driven reasoning remains focused, producing a single Exam Note per investigation session.

What's the best way to bound a diagnostic investigation and avoid premature conclusions?

The best way to bound a diagnostic investigation is enforcing a strict workflow on a single suspect area that collects both confirming and disconfirming evidence. This evidence-driven approach updates confidence systematically and produces a formal Exam Note for handoff.

Why does my investigation scope creep beyond the original suspect area?

Investigation scope creeps without explicit boundaries on the suspect area being examined. A focused exam enforces strict scope boundaries, gathers evidence systematically, and updates confidence to prevent unbounded examinations and premature conclusions during triage.
