System Investigation Workflow

About

The System Investigation Workflow skill provides a systematic framework for exploring and documenting existing systems. Designed specifically for research and discovery rather than implementation, it auto-activates when tasked with 'investigating' or 'explaining' architecture. By utilizing parallel agent deployment and a dedicated verification phase, the skill ensures that findings are accurate and stored in long-term memory, preventing redundant investigations and reducing interaction costs by up to 40%.

Key Features

• Parallel Agent Deployment for rapid multi-perspective exploration
• Auto-activation for architectural research and system analysis tasks
• 6-Phase Structured Investigation from scope definition to knowledge capture
• Automated Knowledge Capture to store discoveries in long-term memory
• Integrated Verification Phase to validate understanding through practical tests
• 16 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Analyzing authentication or integration flows before starting a new feature
• Onboarding onto a complex legacy codebase with minimal documentation
• Root-cause analysis for deep architectural failures or CI/CD bottlenecks
