Investigation
Follow evidence through a system until the hidden mechanism becomes legible.
Overview
Investigation is interpreted here as a metaphorical skill with a shipping-now execution model.
Canonical source: Investigation (skill)
Provider target: OpenClaw
When To Use
- You are debugging a failure, regression, or strange behavior.
- There are logs, traces, docs, or code clues that need synthesis.
- You need the why, not just the what.
Workflow
- Collect the strongest observable clues first.
- Test causal hypotheses against code, data, logs, or configuration.
- Eliminate weak explanations and keep the chain of reasoning tight.
- Return the most defensible explanation plus the next decisive check.
Deliverables
- A ranked set of causes with evidence.
- The most likely root cause.
- A next-step validation or fix path.
Guardrails
- Do not confuse correlation with cause.
- Keep evidence and inference visibly separate.
Default Invocation
Use $investigation to follow the clues here and tell me the most likely root cause with evidence.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
The bard's cantrip that deals psychic damage through insults. In practice this is adversarial review — the art of finding and articulating exactly what is wrong with something in a way that is impossible to ignore. Unlike polite feedback that gets filed and forgotten, vicious mockery lands. It is the red-team report that makes the PM cancel the launch, the code review that makes the author delete the PR, the roast that makes the founder pivot. The damage is the point.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Use this spell for preflight certainty: dry runs, validation checks, dependency verification, and rehearsals that make the next deploy, query, or command much more likely to succeed. It trades a little time up front for fewer blind swings and fewer expensive misses.
