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. |
