What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams investigate ambiguous, causal, and evidence-heavy incidents by structuring hypothesis generation, parallel evidence collection, and principled falsification so the root cause can be identified or meaningfully narrowed.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Hypothesis orchestration: Restates the observation, generates multiple competing explanations, and assigns one tracer lane per hypothesis.
- Parallel evidence gathering: Directs tracer workers to collect evidence for and against each hypothesis, rank evidence strength, and name critical unknowns.
- Rebuttal and synthesis: Runs a rebuttal round between top explanations, detects convergence, and returns a ranked synthesis with the single best discriminating probe.
- Use Cases: Runtime regressions, performance investigations, architecture postmortems, experimental result tracing, and config/orchestration behavior analysis.
Quick Start
Trace why the service latency spiked for endpoint /api/payments between 14:00 and 14:10 by restating the observation, generating three competing hypotheses, and instructing team-mode tracer lanes to gather evidence and propose the discriminating probe.
