What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you understand why a GSD workflow failed or got stuck by collecting concrete evidence from git history and the repository’s planning artifacts, then summarizing what likely happened without guessing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-based failure diagnosis: Reviews
git log, git status/git diff, and .planning/* state to find anomalies tied to specific commits and files.
- Structured forensic reporting: Produces a timestamped report under
.planning/forensics/ with findings, anomaly categories, and recommendations.
- Actionable next steps: Offers interactive deep-dive and suggests GitHub issue creation when findings indicate what to fix.
Use Case: A workflow stops mid-phase or repeatedly re-runs; you run this Skill to determine whether artifacts are missing, work was abandoned, a crash/interruption occurred, or a loop got stuck—then you get a clear report you can share with the team.
Quick Start
Run the gsd-forensics skill and provide a short problem description of the failed or stuck workflow execution so it can generate an evidence-backed report in .planning/forensics/.
