What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams turn a restored incident into a rigorous, evidence-based root cause analysis instead of a blame-focused or speculative postmortem. It is designed to reduce narrative bias, separate facts from inference, and produce a document that can stand up to technical and leadership review.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-driven RCA creation: Builds an incident timeline from logs, metrics, traces, deployment history, chat transcripts, and other artifacts.
- Causal analysis and system improvement: Identifies contributing factors, systemic root causes, and corrective actions with owners and success criteria.
- Review and validation workflow: Uses fresh-reviewer checks to challenge assumptions, surface gaps, and confirm operational readiness before publication.
- Use Case: A post-incident team can use this Skill to convert a chaotic outage report into a defensible RCA package with clear facts, causes, actions, and review results.
Quick Start
Use the rca skill to analyze this incident timeline and supporting evidence, then draft a defensible root cause analysis with facts, causal chain, and corrective actions.
