Investigate

Investigate a bug by gathering context, then spawning parallel Task agents to test multiple hypotheses simultaneously.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

1. Gather Context

Parse the input for links and fetch context:

• Slack link (contains slack.com/archives): Fetch the message and thread replies via Slack MCP tools
• Linear issue (ID like ENG-1234 or URL): Fetch via mcp__linear__get_issue, including comments and attachments
• Free text: Use directly as the problem statement

User-provided hunches should be prioritized when forming hypotheses.

2. Investigate in Parallel

Generate 3-5 hypotheses, then use the Task tool to spawn one agent per hypothesis in a single message (parallel, not sequential). For each agent:

• subagent_type: "Explore", model: "sonnet"
• A focused prompt with the hypothesis, what to look for, and what would confirm or refute it

3. Synthesize

After all agents complete, report: which hypotheses were confirmed, refuted, or inconclusive, and recommend next steps.
