What problem does it solve?
This skill eliminates guesswork when diagnosing TiKV-side latency regressions by providing a structured, metric-driven workflow that identifies the exact slow stage, rules out upstream causes, and stops at the earliest proven bottleneck instead of overclaiming root causes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-mode diagnosis: Activates specialized branches for leader drops, IO jitter, network issues, flow control, and snapshot backlog.
- Evidence-based routing: Uses slow logs, execution details, and quantile-escalated metrics to split TiKV-local from upstream latency.
- Use Case: When a Jira incident reports TiKV leader drops during rolling restarts, this skill determines whether the movement was PD-driven eviction or follower re-election after heartbeat delay, and identifies the earliest abnormal signal.
Quick Start
Use the tikv-slow-diagnosis skill to analyze the provided Jira issue or cluster metrics and produce a structured diagnosis that identifies whether the slowdown is on the TiKV read path, write path, or both, and names the earliest proven bottleneck with supporting metrics.
