Starter Root Cause Investigation

Overview & Purpose

starter-root-cause-investigation is a starter workflow that chains skills together. It chains together the ideal combination of reasoning skills for high-level tasks, without needing manual setup.

Execution Workflow

1. Execute 5-Whys Traversal (causal-analysis): Map symptoms back to fundamental root causes using counterfactual testing.
2. Empirical Hypothesis Testing (scientific-method): create falsifiable hypotheses, design experiments, and record findings.
3. Simulate Dynamic Behavior (simulation-reasoning): Model system behavior over time under seed conditions to observe emergent failures.
4. Self-Audit Reasoning (metacognitive-monitoring): Perform real-time bias detection to ensure conclusions are grounded strictly in evidence.
