root-cause

95 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Use when any test fails, bug appears, or behaviour surprises you, before proposing a fix - find the cause and prove it, by reading real evidence, tracing bad values back to their origin, comparing against a working case, and testing one hypothesis at a time

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

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=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/hamr0/liteagents' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'dc954d2371e647e2bf529efb7198d2794a4291ac' -- 'packages/ampcode/skills/root-cause' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'packages/ampcode/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.
