What the file says

# Root Cause Review Skill

## Trigger

This skill is invoked when the user runs `/rootcause-review` followed by a path to a rootcause_analysis.md file.

Example: `/rootcause-review todos/rootcause_analysis.md`

## Purpose

Perform rigorous scientific peer review of a root cause analysis document. This skill independently verifies all claims, tests all evidence, and appends a comprehensive review section to the original document. The goal is to validate or invalidate findings with the same scientific rigor applied to peer-reviewed research.

**Critical Rule**: NEVER modify existing content in the analysis file. Only APPEND the review section at the end.

## Inputs

- The analysis file should contain:
  - Summary of the problem and claimed root cause
  - 5-whys analysis with evidence claims
  - Code references (file:line)
  - Evidence table with sources
  - Proposed solution

## Outputs

- **Updated rootcause_analysis.md**: Original content PRESERVED, with review section APPENDED
- Review section includes:
  - Validation status for each claim
  - Independent verification results
