System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill keeps debugging scoped and structured so you can turn a vague failure report into a verified root cause without spilling fixes across unrelated folders.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven workflow: Investigate the failure, analyze call chains, hypothesize causes, and implement within a four-phase loop that captures evidence and decisions.
  • Module boundary freeze: Identify the smallest logical module or namespace and declare it as the scope for all fixes, preventing scope creep.
  • Documentation & reporting: Capture hypotheses, interventions, verification status, and the final investigation report under ~/.agentic-workflow/<repo>/investigations for auditability.

Quick Start

Use /rootCause followed by the error message to reproduce the failure, map the call chain, and log the investigation report.
