Root Cause Analysis

Systematic investigation of errors and failures using historical wiki knowledge and external documentation.

When to Use This Skill

Use for:

• Debugging errors with stack traces or error messages
• Investigating incidents or outages
• Finding historical context for similar issues in personal-wiki
• Analyzing recurring problems across time
• Searching for past solutions or workarounds

Don't use for:

• Simple syntax errors (use direct debugging)
• Issues without error context (use exploratory debugging)
• Real-time incident response (use incident management workflows)
