Investigation Mode [DEPRECATED]
⚠️ This skill has been superseded by systematic-debugging.
This file is maintained for backward compatibility. All new work should reference the promoted systematic-debugging skill instead.
Why the migration?
The systematic-debugging skill (promoted from OBRA) provides:
- 4-phase workflow with explicit procedures
- Detailed Phase 1-4 with checkpoints
- Clear anti-patterns and red flags
- Real-world debugging impact metrics
Quick mapping
| Old (this skill) | New (systematic-debugging) | |------------------|---------------------------| | "2+ failures" trigger | "ANY unclear error" entry | | PAUSE + investigate | Phase 1: Root Cause Investigation | | Research phase | Phase 2: Pattern Analysis | | Direction approval flow | Phase 3: Hypothesis & Testing | | Test first requirement | Phase 4, Step 1: Create test case |
Migration
For ongoing projects: Update references to use systematic-debugging skill.
For new work: Start with systematic-debugging (5-phase workflow).
