What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by davepoon/buildwithclaude in plugins/gsd/skills/forensics/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose: Diagnose failed or stuck workflows so the user can understand root cause and take corrective action. Output: Forensic report saved to .planning/forensics/, presented inline, with optional issue creation.

<execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/forensics.md </execution_context>

User input:

  • Problem description: $ARGUMENTS (optional — will ask if not provided)

<success_criteria>

  • Evidence gathered from all available data sources
  • At least 4 anomaly types checked (stuck loop, missing artifacts, abandoned work, crash/interruption)
  • Structured forensic report written to .planning/forensics/report-{timestamp}.md
  • Report presented inline with findings, anomalies, and recommendations
  • Interactive investigation offered for deeper analysis
  • GitHub issue creation offered if actionable findings exist </success_criteria>

<critical_rules>

  • Read-only investigation: Do not modify project source files during forensics. Only write the forensic report and update STATE.md session tracking.
  • Redact sensitive data: Strip absolute paths, API keys, tokens from reports and issues.
  • Ground findings in evidence: Every anomaly must cite specific commits, files, or state data.
  • No speculation without evidence: If data is insufficient, say so — do not fabricate root causes. </critical_rules>
