SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Reconstruct what's happening or what an unfamiliar area does from available evidence, then produce a structured case file that another engineer can pick up cold.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence grading and disciplined reasoning (Confirmed, Deduced, Hypothesized) to organize findings.
  • Stronghold-first approach anchored on concrete evidence, expanding outward to explore related areas.
  • Path citations and a persistent case file template to track inputs, status, and conclusions.

Quick Start

Open a new investigation for a ticket ID and start recording initial evidence using the case-file template.
