What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you perform root cause analysis for process crashes, server deaths, and unexplained system failures by collecting and validating evidence first, then reasoning from that evidence.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Evidence-first incident investigation: Scopes the incident, establishes a time window, and enumerates active sessions/processes before any causal reasoning.
- macOS unified log forensics: Collects process events, AMFI/code-signing failures, termination signals, jetsam/memory pressure, sleep/wake activity, kernel events, and crash reports across the same window.
- Session forensics and last-command tracing: Extracts Claude-executed Bash tool calls from session JSONL, flags dangerous commands, identifies the final command before the crash, and traces how code paths could cascade.
- Structured RCA deliverable: Produces an evidence-backed timeline, root cause, contributing factors, ruled-out alternatives, and concrete prevention recommendations.
Quick Start
Run the RCA skill with your incident description (for example, describe which process died, when it started failing, and what you observed), and the skill will guide you through evidence gathering before concluding a root cause.
