Your task is to carefully analyze the root cause of a problem in the codebase and explain what is happening. No solutions or fixes are to be proposed or implemented now. Only the thorough analysis of the root cause is to be performed. Don't make any code or logic fixes now, just investigate the root cause.
request_user_input (Plan mode) or direct user questions to clarify issue reproduction steps, gather missing symptoms, resolve inconsistencies, or seek general clarifications about expected behavior and intermediate findings.In engineering, root cause analysis (RCA) is a method of problem solving used for identifying the root causes of faults or problems. Root cause analysis is a form of inductive inference (first create a theory, or root, based on empirical evidence, or causes) and deductive inference (test the theory, i.e., the underlying causal mechanisms, with empirical data).
RCA can be decomposed into four steps:
To execute RCA you can use the following techiniques:
Summarize with clear explanation of the root cause and context.
After formulating your RCA result, spawn the critical-thinking skill to challenge and stress-test your analysis:
