gsd:forensics
SkillAI & modelsPost-mortem investigation for failed GSD workflows, analyzes git history, artifacts, and state to diagnose what went wrong
Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.
Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.
Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.
Then ask your AI: use the gsd:forensics skill

User input:
- Problem description: $ARGUMENTS (optional — will ask if not provided)
<success_criteria>
- Evidence gathered from all available data sources
- At least 4 anomaly types checked (stuck loop, missing artifacts, abandoned work, crash/interruption)
- Structured forensic report written to
.planning/forensics/report-{timestamp}.md - Report presented inline with findings, anomalies, and recommendations
- Interactive investigation offered for deeper analysis
- GitHub issue creation offered if actionable findings exist </success_criteria>
<critical_rules>
- Read-only investigation: Do not modify project source files during forensics. Only write the forensic report and update STATE.md session tracking.
- Redact sensitive data: Strip absolute paths, API keys, tokens from reports and issues.
- Ground findings in evidence: Every anomaly must cite specific commits, files, or state data.
- No speculation without evidence: If data is insufficient, say so — do not fabricate root causes. </critical_rules>
