abductive-triage

Structured diagnostic reasoning for AI agents investigating incidents, failures, and unexpected behavior. Teaches agents to resolve coordinate mismatches first (majority of incidents), then build timelines, generate competing hypotheses, identify discriminating evidence, and produce portable investigation artifacts. Use when asked to create a triage workflow, investigate an incident, debug a failure, or encode a diagnostic process.

Investigate a system that appears to work but silently fails under specific conditions. Demonstrates Tier 2 investigation with the 'no hypotheses survive' recovery pattern and hidden mechanism discovery.

Investigate potential supply chain compromise indicators. Demonstrates Tier 2 investigation with multi-finding triage, timeline construction across systems, and evidence hierarchy in practice.

Investigate reported secret mismatches between a cluster and a secret store. Demonstrates Tier 1 resolution — coordinate mismatch identified and resolved without deep analysis.

Multi-phase investigation for {problem class}. Routes to the appropriate phase based on artifact state. Phase 1 resolves coordinate mismatches (majority of incidents). Phase 2 investigates systemic issues. Phase 3 remediates and documents.
