Can I switch between modes manually?

Yes, Claude will always ask for your confirmation before transitioning between modes, and you can explicitly request a specific mode at any time.

Does it support formal investigation methodologies?

Yes, the skill includes support for the Scientific Method, 5 Whys, Timeline Analysis, and the USE (Utilization, Saturation, Errors) method for performance analysis.

How does this skill prevent Claude from making mistakes?

It enforces strict boundaries for each mode, preventing Claude from proposing or implementing fixes until a formal investigation phase has been completed and authorized by the user.

What are the three investigation modes?

The three modes are LEARNING (building system understanding), INVESTIGATION (diagnosing specific problems and finding root causes), and SOLVING (implementing verified fixes).

生産性とワークフロー

Organizes complex technical tasks into distinct learning, diagnosis, and resolution phases for systematic and evidence-based problem-solving.

The Investigation Workflow Modes skill implements a disciplined state machine to manage how Claude approaches technical challenges. By enforcing three explicit stages—LEARNING (mapping architecture), INVESTIGATION (root cause analysis), and SOLVING (implementation)—it prevents common AI pitfalls like jumping to solutions without sufficient context. This skill ensures Claude maintains a clear prefix for every response, respects user-controlled pacing for multi-step requests, and utilizes formal methodologies like the 5 Whys and Timeline Analysis to ensure high-confidence outcomes.
