Investigation Patterns

What problem does it solve?

Provides a repeatable, evidence-based approach to analyzing codebases, diagnosing issues, and identifying patterns without guessing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured evidence collection: Guidelines to gather file:line references, confidence metrics, and a clear scope.
• Phased investigation workflow: Scope Classification, Evidence Collection, Synthesis with Metrics, and Debugging Workflow to ensure thorough analysis.
• Use cases: Troubleshoot bugs, understand unfamiliar codebases, validate design decisions, and perform root-cause analysis.

Quick Start

Start by applying the investigation workflow to a sample project to generate an evidence-based report.
