Chat Failure Audit

Turn a real transcript into a ranked, root-caused failure list. The discipline: ground every finding in the actual session, and always push past the symptom to the cause and the layer that owns it.

Works with any agent. No vendor APIs. Reads the transcript/log you provide.

Supporting files (read when needed):

• failure-classes.md — the six failure classes, symptom→cause prompts, severity rubric
• audit-template.md — the failure-mode report format

Output: {SKILL_OUTPUT_DIR}/chat-failure-audit/ — see ../OUTPUT.md

Step 0 — Get the real session
