SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Restate ambiguous, causal observations and orchestrate multiple tracer hypotheses in parallel to surface explanations grounded in evidence rather than raw outputs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates Gemini built-in team mode with a default of three tracer lanes, each pursuing a distinct hypothesis.
  • Enforces a worker contract: restate lane, gather evidence for and against, rank evidence, identify the critical unknown, and propose the best discriminating probe.
  • Supports a structured reasoning framework using an evidence-strength hierarchy and cross-check lenses (systems, premortem, science) for robust analysis.
  • Ideal for runtime bugs, performance mysteries, architectural postmortems, and experimental results requiring multi-source validation.

Quick Start

Summarize the observation and invoke /trace to spawn three parallel tracer lanes in Gemini built-in team mode.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug runtime bugs using evidence-driven tracing?▼

Parallel hypothesis tracing works by spawning three concurrent tracer lanes in Gemini team mode. Each lane restates the observation, gathers evidence for and against a distinct hypothesis, ranks the evidence, and proposes the best discriminating probe.

How do I investigate performance issues with parallel hypotheses?▼

To investigate performance issues, summarize the observation and invoke the trace command. This spawns three parallel tracer lanes that gather and rank evidence to identify the critical unknown and propose a discriminating probe for robust analysis.

Does Gemini team mode support architectural postmortem analysis?▼

Hypothesis tracing requires the built-in tracer agent and Gemini team-mode orchestration. It enforces a worker contract where each lane restates observations, gathers evidence for and against, ranks evidence, identifies critical unknowns, and proposes discriminating probes.

When should I use parallel tracer lanes for debugging?▼

Use parallel tracer lanes for debugging runtime bugs, performance mysteries, architectural postmortems, and experimental results. It is ideal when strong, evidence-based reasoning is required to resolve ambiguous, causal observations rather than relying on raw outputs.
