Failure Chain Construction

Builds multi-level cause → mode → effect chains for systemic failure understanding.

Execution

Subagent — spawned via subagent-spawning/spawn-agent.

Why Subagent

Chain construction requires disciplined causal reasoning without skipping levels. Isolated context prevents shortcutting.

Input

  • failure_modes: Structured failure mode catalog
  • function_tree: Function decomposition for context
  • depth: Max chain depth (2/4/6 per budget)

Output

  • chains: List of cause-mode-effect chains with level annotations
  • shared_causes: Root causes appearing in multiple chains
  • cascade_risks: Modes that trigger other modes

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP When to use
spawn-agent Spawn a customized CC subagent with full MCP tool access. Used by SOPs that declare execution: subagent.
