fault-diagnosis

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents wasted time and new bugs by enforcing a rigorous process for identifying the root cause of any technical issue before attempting a fix. It stops the cycle of quick patches that mask underlying problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Systematic Root Cause Analysis: Guides you through a four-phase process: Investigation, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis & Testing, and Implementation.
• Evidence Gathering: Emphasizes collecting logs, reproducing issues reliably, and examining changes.
• Pattern Recognition: Helps identify similar working examples and understand dependencies before fixing.
• Use Case: When a critical test fails in CI, instead of guessing, you use this Skill to methodically trace the error back to its origin, ensuring a permanent fix rather than a temporary workaround.

Quick Start

Use the fault-diagnosis skill to investigate the recent test failure in the CI pipeline.
