Required Skills [LOAD BEFORE EXECUTION]

1. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] ai-development-guide — AI development patterns
2. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] coding-rules — coding standards
3. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] llm-friendly-context — clear prompts, handoffs, and generated artifacts

Spawn rule: every spawnagent call uses forkturns="none" so the subagent receives only the task message and explicitly provided context.

Context: Diagnosis flow to identify concrete failure points and present solutions

Target problem: $ARGUMENTS

Orchestrator Definition

Execution Method:

• Investigation -> Spawn investigator agent
• Verification -> Spawn verifier agent
• Solution derivation -> Spawn solver agent

The orchestrator structures the reported problem, coordinates the three specialist stages, evaluates their results, and passes only the context needed by the next stage.

Execution Plan: Reuse the active execution plan. When the workflow has multiple dependent actions and no plan exists, create one that tracks them through final verification. Complete a plan step after verifying its result; start a dependent step after its prerequisites are satisfied.

Step 0: Problem Structuring (Before spawning investigator)

0.1 Problem Type Determination

If uncertain, keep the type provisional and let repository history and investigation evidence resolve it.

0.2 Information Supplementation for Change Failures

For change failures, resolve the following from the supplied report and repository evidence when available:

• What was changed (cause change)
• What broke (affected area)
• Relationship between both (shared components, etc.)

Carry unresolved details into the investigator prompt as investigation targets and continue.

Diagnosis Flow Overview

Problem -> investigator -> verifier
verifier needs_more_investigation -> investigator while new evidence can change coverage
verifier ready_for_solution -> solver
solver recommendation -> Report
solver null recommendation -> investigator while new evidence can change the result
evidence saturated before recommendation -> unresolved Report

Context Separation: Pass only structured output to each step. Each step starts fresh with the data only.

Execution Steps

Execute the registered steps:

Step 1: Investigation (investigator)

Spawn investigator agent with the following prompt:

Comprehensively collect information related to the following phenomenon.

Phenomenon: [Problem reported by user]

For change failures, include available facts and unresolved investigation targets for:
- what changed
- what broke
- what both areas share

Expected output: Evidence matrix, path map, failure points, comparison analysis results, list of unexplored areas, investigation limitations

Step 2: Investigation Quality Check

Review investigation output:

Quality Check (verify output contains the following):

• comparisonAnalysis is present and normalImplementation is non-null, or explicitly states that no working implementation was found
• pathMap is present with ordered nodes or explicit unknown segments
• causalChain for each failure point reaches a stop condition
• causeCategory for each failure point
• investigationSources covers the source types needed to support or refute the causal path
• each failure point has supporting evidence with a concrete source

When required evidence is missing, re-run investigator with the missing items and previous output. Proceed to verifier when the causal path and its material unknowns are explicit.

Proceed to verifier once quality is satisfied.

Step 3: Verification (verifier)

Spawn verifier agent: "Verify the following investigation results. Investigation results: [Investigation output]"

Expected output: Path coverage findings, independent failure-point evaluation, final conclusion, coverageAssessment/finalStatus

Coverage Criteria:

• sufficient: No major uncovered boundary affects solution selection or implementation
• partial: Some uncertainty remains, but the cause, applicable contract or expected behavior, and affected boundary are usable; verifier states which response-selection constraints remain uncertain
• insufficient: Fundamental information gap exists on the relevant path

Step 4: Solution Derivation (solver)

When finalStatus=readyforsolution, spawn solver agent: "Derive solutions based on the following verified conclusion. Verified conclusion: [verifier's conclusion]. Failure-point evaluations: [verifier's failurePointsEvaluation]. Verification limitations: [verifier's verificationLimitations]. Impact analysis: [investigator output impactAnalysis]."

Expected output: Credible materially distinct solutions, relevant tradeoffs, and either a supported recommendation with implementation steps or a null recommendation with exact missing evidence. One solution is sufficient when evidence rules out a meaningful alternative.

Completion condition: finalStatus=readyforsolution and solver returns a non-null evidence-supported recommendation.

When not reached: Return to Step 1 with the verifier's material unknowns or solver's uncertaintyHandling.missingEvidence as investigation targets while repository or supplied evidence can change the result. When further investigation produces no new decision-relevant evidence, report the unresolved input and its effect instead of repeating the loop.

Step 5: Final Report Creation

Prerequisite: a non-null solver recommendation. When available evidence stops changing without producing one, report the exact unresolved input and its effect, and mark recommendation, implementation steps, and alternatives N/A.

After diagnosis completion, report to user in the following format:
