<objective> Investigate what went wrong during a GSD workflow execution. Analyzes git history, `.planning/` artifacts, and file system state to detect anomalies and generate a structured diagnostic report. Purpose: Diagnose failed or stuck workflows so the user can understand root cause and take corrective action. Output: Forensic report saved to `.planning/forensics/`, presented inline, with optional issue creation. </objective> <execution_context> @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/forensics.md </execution_context> <context> **Data sources:** - `git log` (recent commits, patterns, time gaps) - `git status` / `git diff` (uncommitted work, conflicts) - `.planning/STATE.md` (current position, session history) - `.planning/ROADMAP.md` (phase scope and progress) - `.planning/phases/*/` (PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, VERIFICATION.md, CONTEXT.md) - `.planning/reports/SESSION_REPORT.md` (last session outcomes) **User input:** - Problem description: $ARGUMENTS (optional — will ask if not provided) </context> <process> Read and execute the forensics workflow from @$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/forensics.md end-to-end. </process> <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>
