Investigate the root cause of a recurring or systemic defect across a series of incidents, not a single one. Use on the third recurrence, or when someone asks 'why again?', 'five whys', 'fix the root'. Skip for one or two ordinary cases, an already proven simple cause, or a one-off external outage. Triggers: /five-whys, five whys, fix the root.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /five-whys — доказать корень по серии случаев Это расследование причин, а не генератор объяснений и не способ немедленно придумать новый механизм. `/five-hard` задаёт пять трудных вопросов к убеждению; к root-cause он не относится. В Claude вызывай `/five-whys`, в Codex — `$five-whys`. ## Шаг 0 — сначала дверь, затем отдельная сессия Явные фразы Антона «а опять почему?», «пять почему» и «чини корень» активируют этот гейт, но не разрешают выдумать серию или причину. Обычный автоматический вход — **3-й датированный случай одной смысловой семьи**. Не считай по тексту ошибки или случайно придуманному имени класса. До выбора `--class` выполни: ```text python "$HOME/.claude/scripts/prior_art.py" class "<нейтральное описание поломки>" ``` `exit 0` означает, что прежнее не найдено; `exit 3` означает найденный prior art, а не ошибку. Если прибор напечатал `СЕМЬЯ <slug>`, используй этот slug. Если известной семьи нет, но прибор показал прежние строки, бери имя предмета ремонта/нарушенного инварианта из самой ранней совпавшей строки. При `exit 0`, когда прежней строки нет, назови класс по **текущему** предмету ремонта/нарушенному инварианту и запиши его как …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/five-whys@sha256:42df4a1e46945bb1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.402f6b7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
