pm-root-cause

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps product teams diagnose unexpected product behavior by separating symptoms from root causes and preventing premature conclusions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Anomaly Investigation: Guides teams through measurement validation, segmentation analysis, change discovery, candidate cause mapping, and root-cause drilling.
• Evidence-Based Diagnosis: Separates confirmed evidence from untested hypotheses using methods like 5 Whys, fishbone analysis, and differential diagnosis.
• Use Case: When a product metric drops, churn spikes, or a feature is not adopted, use this Skill to identify likely causes, define confirmation tests, and determine corrective actions.

Quick Start

Describe the product anomaly you need to investigate, including the metric change, timing, and affected area, and use the pm-root-cause skill to run a structured diagnosis.
