root-cause

100 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try.

Read-only root-cause analysis for any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior — before proposing or writing any fix. Produces a brief with the root cause, files to change, approach, and risks. No edits, no commits, no state-changing commands. Use before /fix or /conductor whenever the cause isn't already proven. If static reading can't reach a confident cause, it hands off to /debugging-difficult-bugs for runtime instrumentation.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'root-cause' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'root-cause' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named root-cause already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/crbnos/carbon' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '23320e4132e2b978e186521fbfb4225017a18d1f' -- '.claude/skills/root-cause' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'.claude/skills/root-cause' ~/.agents/skills/'root-cause' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'root-cause' ~/.claude/skills/'root-cause' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
