System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you rigorously understand why an event went wrong—or why it unexpectedly succeeded—so you can learn actionable improvements instead of relying on blame or hindsight.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Post-mortem retrospectives: Reconstruct timelines, identify immediate causes, enabling conditions, root causes, and contributing factors to find systemic fixes.
  • Counterfactual analysis: Evaluate “what would have happened if we’d done X differently” to assess decision quality and avoid survivorship bias.
  • Knowability classification: Classify causes as predictable/detectable/preventable to prioritize the right type of corrective action (process, monitoring, resilience).

Use cases: incident reviews, failed launches, debriefs after project delivery, and after-the-fact evaluation of team or system decisions.

Quick Start

Use the retrospective-counterfactual skill to analyze the incident by reconstructing a timeline, classifying causes by knowability, and proposing 2–3 owned corrective actions with verification criteria.
