Key capabilities

  • Orchestrate root cause investigation
  • Identify triggers for system failures
  • Execute systematic problem analysis

How it works

The skill executes a dedicated Python script that manages the investigation steps to isolate the cause of a reported problem.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Problem description or failure report
You get back
Root cause identification and analysis findings

When to use problem-analysis

  • Investigating production errors
  • Performing root cause analysis
  • Diagnosing system failure triggers

About this skill

Problem Analysis

Root cause identification skill. Identifies WHY a problem occurs, NOT how to fix it.

Invocation

<invoke working-dir=".claude/skills/scripts" cmd="python3 -m skills.problem_analysis.analyze --step 1" />

Do NOT explore or analyze first. Run the script and follow its output.

When not to use it

  • Immediate code patching
  • Exploratory debugging without script orchestration

Limitations

  • Must be invoked immediately without prior exploration

How it compares

It enforces a structured, script-driven investigation process instead of manual, ad-hoc exploration.
