triage

Bug triage identifies root causes by running five parallel hypotheses across type/mismatch, race conditions, data drift, environment, and upstream changes, then delivering a ranked report with evidence-backed file:line citations to resolve persistent software debugging failures.

Parallel hypothesis diagnosis is a root-cause-analysis technique where five sub-agents investigate different bug hypothesis classes concurrently. A judge synthesizes their reports into a prioritized root cause with confidence levels, eliminating guesswork when symptoms are known but causes are not.

Start bug triage by providing symptom details to trigger a phased workflow: symptom capture, parallel diagnosis, judge ranking, user approval gate, and optional fix dispatch. The system generates five parallel hypothesis reports and a formal ranked root-cause verdict.

Diagnose race conditions and data drift using a five-hypothesis bug triage workflow that investigates these specific classes concurrently alongside type/mismatches, environment issues, and upstream changes, providing evidence citations and a formal verdict to support gated code changes.

No dependencies are required to run the parallel bug triage workflow. The Skill operates independently to run five concurrent sub-agents for root-cause-analysis, requiring only your symptom details to initiate the phased diagnosis and ranked report generation.

Avoid five-hypothesis bug triage when the root cause is already established or for trivial bugs requiring immediate fixes. This parallel diagnosis approach is designed for complex cases where symptoms are known but underlying causes remain unclear after repeated failed attempts.
