Tracing Root Causes | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Disciplined causal analysis for explaining observed outcomes — competing hypotheses, evidence ranked by strength, active disconfirmation, and a discriminating next probe. Use when investigating why something happened (intermittent failures, regressions, production incidents, surprising benchmark results) BEFORE proposing fixes, especially when a "obvious culprit" is tempting.
