Root Cause Analysis - 5 Whys
Principle
Fix the root cause, not the symptom. Symptom fixes add complexity; root-cause fixes prevent recurrence.
5 Whys Process
Ask "why" five times, descending through abstraction levels.
| Step | Level | | ---- | ------------------------ | | 1 | Observable fact | | 2 | Implementation detail | | 3 | Design decision | | 4 | Architectural constraint | | 5 | Root cause |
Tips
| Tip | Description | | ---------------- | -------------------------------- | | Stay factual | Evidence, not assumptions | | Don't stop early | First "why" is rarely root cause | | Don't go deep | Stop when actionable | | Validate | "Because [5], therefore [4]..." | | Verify fix | "Will this prevent the problem?" |

Extract repository spec while detecting bugs, spec gaps, and consistency drift via dual-purpose documentation. OUTCOME.md-axis question-driven exploration with ephemeral output. Do NOT use for code review (use /audit or /polish), feature implementation (use /code), planning only (use /think), or single-bug fix (use /fix).

Discover undocumented design decisions and challenge each candidate via critic-design before promotion. Rank by impact and reversibility, produce ADR promotion candidates. Treat each candidate as a position arguing for ADR status, not a fact to be filed. Pairs with audit-adr-drift, which scans existing ADRs for drift against code.

Scan ADR Decision sections against current code and report drift with modification direction and priority. Do NOT use for repos without ADRs (use audit-adr-gaps instead).
