root-cause-investigator

What problem does it solve?

Systematic root cause analysis for errors, bugs, and unexpected behaviors using 5-Why methodology. Use when user reports errors, build failures, test failures, performance issues, integration problems, or any "it's not working" scenarios.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Apply a structured 5-Why investigation to drill down to root causes.
• Gather initial context, collect evidence, and document findings across symptoms, processes, and architecture.
• Use reference materials to guide analysis and ensure repeatable, thorough investigations.
• Typical use cases include diagnosing why a build failed, why a performance degradation occurred, or why a integration issue arose.

Quick Start

Provide an initial issue description and relevant logs, then run the 5-Why investigation workflow to identify the root cause.
