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 errors occur deep in execution and you need to trace back to find the original trigger - systematically traces bugs backward through call stack, adding instrumentation when needed, to identify source of invalid data or incorrect behavior

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-tracing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'root-cause-tracing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named root-cause-tracing already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/NickCrew/Claude-Cortex' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'bb47af79ad3befe01ae01940fcf5f16e30a1b6df' -- 'skills/root-cause-tracing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/root-cause-tracing' ~/.agents/skills/'root-cause-tracing' && 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-tracing' ~/.claude/skills/'root-cause-tracing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
