SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The Solve skill provides a disciplined, repeatable approach to diagnosing and solving root-cause problems in software and operations, turning incidents into structured lessons and actionable fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided problem-definition and evidence gathering to establish a solid diagnosis.
  • RCA- and hypothesis-driven solution flow, including root-cause verification and knowledge-base updates.
  • End-to-end workflow from observation to validation, with integration into testing, reporting, and prevention.

Quick Start

To begin, describe the incident with a concise problem statement, then run /solve with the appropriate technique flag (e.g., --5whys or --rca) and provide a brief explanation of the observed symptoms.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform root cause analysis for a recurring software incident?

To perform root cause analysis for a software incident, use structured problem-solving techniques like 5 Whys or RCA to guide evidence gathering, verify the root cause, and implement validated fixes with traceable reporting.

What is the best way to structure problem-solving for reliable software fixes?

The best way to structure problem-solving for reliable software fixes is using a repeatable workflow that moves from initial observation and hypothesis-driven testing to root-cause verification and automated validation, turning incidents into actionable lessons.

How do I run a blameless RCA workflow when diagnosing operations issues?

To run a blameless RCA workflow for operations issues, define the problem with a concise statement, use the appropriate technique flag like RCA, and provide a brief explanation of observed symptoms to guide the diagnosis.

Can I integrate hypothesis-driven testing with TDD to prevent recurring bugs?

Yes, you can integrate hypothesis-driven testing with TDD by verifying root causes through structured tests, updating the knowledge base, and applying automated validation to prevent similar bugs from recurring in software operations.

When should I use the 5 Whys technique for troubleshooting software failures?

You should use the 5 Whys technique for troubleshooting software failures when you need a disciplined, repeatable approach to move past surface symptoms and identify the foundational root cause of an incident.

Does structured problem-solving work without external dependencies or libraries?

Yes, structured problem-solving works without external dependencies, relying solely on guided problem-definition, evidence gathering, RCA flows, and integrated reporting templates to document and resolve incidents.
