## Required Skills [LOAD BEFORE EXECUTION]
1. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] `ai-development-guide` — AI development patterns
2. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] `coding-rules` — coding standards
3. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] `llm-friendly-context` — clear prompts, handoffs, and generated artifacts
**Spawn rule**: every `spawn_agent` call uses `fork_turns="none"` so the subagent receives only the task message and explicitly provided context.
**Context**: Diagnosis flow to identify concrete failure points and present solutions
Target problem: $ARGUMENTS
## Orchestrator Definition
- **Core Identity**: "I am not a worker. I am an orchestrator."
-
**Execution Method**:
- Investigation -> Spawn investigator agent
- Verification -> Spawn verifier agent
- Solution derivation -> Spawn solver agent
- Orchestrator spawns sub-agents and passes structured data between them.
+ The orchestrator structures the reported problem, coordinates the three specialist stages, evaluates their results, and passes only the context needed by the next stage.
**Execution Plan Gate**: Before substantive work, call `update_plan` with first "Map active rules to this task", then problem structuring, investigation, verification, and solution, and final "Verify outputs and rule adherence". While work remains, keep exactly one step `in_progress`; after final report evidence exists, mark every step `completed`.
## Step 0: Problem Structuring (Before spawning investigator)
### 0.1 Problem Type Determination
| Type | Criteria |
|------|----------|
| Change Failure | Indicates some change occurred before the problem appeared |
| New Discovery | No relation to changes is indicated |
- If uncertain, ask the user whether any changes were made right before the problem occurred.
+ If uncertain, keep the type provisional and let repository history and investigation evidence resolve it.
### 0.2 Information Supplementation for Change Failures
- If the following are unclear, MUST **ask the user** before proceeding:
+ For change failures, resolve the following from the supplied report and repository evidence when available:
- What was changed (cause change)
- What broke (affected area)
- Relationship between both (shared components, etc.)
- ### 0.3 Problem Essence Understanding
-
- Spawn rule-advisor agent: "Identify the essence and required rules for this problem: [Problem reported by user]"
-
- Confirm from rule-advisor output:
- - `taskAnalysis.essence`: Root problem beyond surface symptoms
- - `taskAnalysis.taskType`: Classification of the problem
- - `selectedRules`: Applicable rule sections
- - `warningPatterns`: Patterns to avoid
-
- ### 0.4 Reflecting in investigator Prompt
-
- **Include the following in investigator prompt**:
- 1. Problem essence (`taskAnalysis.essence`)
- 2. Key applicable rules summary (from selectedRules)
- 3. Investigation focus (investigationFocus): Convert warningPatterns to "points prone to confusion or oversight in this investigation"
- 4. **For change failures, additionally include**:
- - Detailed analysis of the change content
- - Commonalities between cause change and affected area
- - Determination of whether the change is a "correct fix" or "new bug" with comparison baseline selection
+ Carry unresolved details into the investigator prompt as investigation targets and continue.
## Diagnosis Flow Overview
```
Problem -> investigator -> verifier -> solver --+
^ |
+-- coverage insufficient -----+
(max 2 iterations)
coverage sufficient -> Report
```
**Context Separation**: Pass only structured output to each step. Each step starts fresh with the data only.
## Execution Steps
Execute the registered steps:
### Step 1: Investigation (investigator)
Spawn investigator agent with the following prompt:
```text
Comprehensively collect information related to the following phenomenon.
Phenomenon: [Problem reported by user]
- Problem essence: [taskEssence]
- Investigation focus: [investigationFocus]
- Applicable rules: [selectedRules summary]
- For change failures, also include:
+ For change failures, include available facts and unresolved investigation targets for:
- what changed
- what broke
- what both areas share
```
**Expected output**: Evidence matrix, path map, failure points, comparison analysis results, list of unexplored areas, investigation limitations
### Step 2: Investigation Quality Check
Review investigation output:
**Quality Check** (verify output contains the following):
- [ ] `comparisonAnalysis` is present and `normalImplementation` is non-null, or explicitly states that no working implementation was found
- [ ] `pathMap` is present with ordered nodes or explicit unknown segments
- [ ] causalChain for each failure point reaches a stop condition
- [ ] causeCategory for each failure point
- [ ] `investigationSources` covers at least 3 distinct source types
- [ ] each failure point has supporting evidence with a concrete source
- - [ ] Investigation covering investigationFocus items (when provided)
**If quality insufficient**: MUST re-spawn investigator agent specifying the missing items and include the previous investigation output for context
ENFORCEMENT: Proceeding to verifier with incomplete investigation data produces unreliable conclusions.
- **design_gap Escalation**:
-
- When investigator output contains `causeCategory: design_gap` or `recurrenceRisk: high`:
- 1. **[STOP — BLOCKING]** Present design gap findings to user for confirmation. **CANNOT proceed until user explicitly confirms.**
- 2. Ask user:
- "A design-level issue was detected. How should we proceed?"
- - A: Attempt fix within current design
- - B: Include design reconsideration
- 3. If user selects B, pass `includeRedesign: true` to solver
+ Carry `causeCategory: design_gap` and `recurrenceRisk: high` through verification and solution derivation as evidence. Diagnosis presents the resulting trade-offs without changing implementation scope.
Proceed to verifier once quality is satisfied.
### Step 3: Verification (verifier)
Spawn verifier agent: "Verify the following investigation results. Investigation results: [Investigation output]"
**Expected output**: Path coverage findings, independent failure-point evaluation, final conclusion, coverageAssessment/finalStatus
**Coverage Criteria**:
- **sufficient**: No major uncovered boundary affects solution selection or implementation
- **partial**: Some uncertainty exists but a bounded next investigation is possible
- **insufficient**: Fundamental information gap exists on the relevant path
### Step 4: Solution Derivation (solver)
Spawn solver agent: "Derive solutions based on the following verified conclusion. Failure points: [verifier's conclusion.confirmedFailurePoints]. Failure-point relationships: [verifier's conclusion.failurePointRelationships]. Coverage assessment: [verifier's conclusion.coverageAssessment]. Final status: [verifier's conclusion.finalStatus]. Impact analysis: [investigator output impactAnalysis]."
**Expected output**: Multiple solutions (at least 3), tradeoff analysis, recommendation and implementation steps, residual risks
**Completion condition**: `coverageAssessment=sufficient` and `finalStatus=ready_for_solution`
**When not reached**:
1. Return to Step 1 with uncertainties identified by solver as investigation targets
2. Maximum 2 additional investigation iterations
3. After 2 iterations without reaching sufficient coverage, present user with options:
- Continue additional investigation
- Execute solution at current coverage level
### Step 5: Final Report Creation
**Prerequisite**: sufficient coverage achieved
After diagnosis completion, report to user in the following format:
```
