Agent Skills: causal-inference-root-cause

Systematically investigates causal relationships to identify true root causes rather than correlations or symptoms. Distinguishes genuine causation from spurious associations, tests competing explanations, and designs interventions addressing underlying drivers. Use when investigating why something happened, debugging systems, analyzing failures, evaluating policy impacts, or when user mentions root cause, causal chain, confounding, spurious correlation, or asks "why did this really happen?"
