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⚠️ This skill has been superseded by systematic-debugging.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).
