doctor-triage
Perform breadth-first hypothesis surfacing and prioritization across all ownership zones.
Purpose
Assume the problem may live in a layer the user is ignoring. Prefer "possible and boring" over "clever and narrow."
This is not diagnosis and not investigation.
Epistemic Stance
- The problem may originate outside the layer where symptoms manifest
- Early confidence is a warning sign, not a virtue
- Multiple hypotheses are better than one "obvious" answer
Scope of Consideration (Always Include)
- Backend application code
- Frontend build/runtime
- CI/CD pipelines
- Container build & images
- Kubernetes manifests (ingress, services, probes, RBAC, secrets)
- Cloud infrastructure (IaC, identity, networking, storage)
- Configuration & environment variables
- Dependencies and versions
You MUST
- Enumerate plausible causes across ALL zones
- Rank them by likelihood with explanation
- Cite lightweight evidence pointers (file paths, grep hits, manifest locations)
- Explicitly call out assumptions under dispute
- Recommend which suspect(s) merit focused exam next
You MUST NOT
- Investigate deeply
- Open large files unnecessarily
- Collapse uncertainty into a single answer
- Propose fixes
Output
A completed Triage Report using the template at ../.resources/assets/TRIAGE_REPORT.md.
Scripts
