SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured approach to conduct deep post-analysis after a bug is fixed to break the cycle of fixes-forget-repeat by capturing root causes, prevention strategies, and knowledge into specs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Root Cause Analysis: Classify bug into categories and map propagation risks across layers.
  • Prevention & Knowledge Capture: Document prevention mechanisms and update specs and tickets.
  • Guided Reflections: Produce a formal postmortem narrative that informs future development and testing.
  • Use Case: After shipping a fix, run this skill to prevent regression by codifying the learnings into design docs and tests.

Quick Start

Analyze the just-fixed bug using the 5-dimensions framework and generate a structured postmortem report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a postmortem report after fixing a bug?

To write a postmortem report after a bug fix, identify the root-cause category and propagation risks, then apply a 5-dimensions framework to capture prevention mechanisms, design improvements, and testing gaps.

What is the best way to prevent recurring bugs in software architecture?

Preventing recurring bugs requires capturing root causes and prevention strategies into architecture documentation and specs, using a structured postmortem to break the cycle of fixes-forget-repeat.

How do I analyze root-cause categories and propagation risks across layers?

You analyze root-cause categories and map propagation risks across layers by conducting a deep post-analysis after the bug fix, documenting how failures propagate to inform future design improvements.

Can I update existing specs and tickets as part of a bug postmortem?

Yes, a bug postmortem can create or update related specs and tickets to codify learnings, ensuring prevention mechanisms and testing gaps are formally documented for future development.

When should I run a postmortem analysis to prevent regression?

You should run a postmortem analysis immediately after shipping a fix to prevent regression by applying a 5-dimensions framework that captures design improvements and testing gaps into documentation.
