parallel-investigation
Coordinates parallel investigation threads to simultaneously explore multiple hypotheses or root causes across different system areas. Use when debugging production incidents, slow API performance, multi-system integration failures, or complex bugs where the root cause is unclear and multiple plausible theories exist; when serial troubleshooting is too slow; or when multiple investigators can divide root-cause analysis work. Provides structured phases for problem decomposition, thread assignment, sync points with Continue/Pivot/Converge decisions, and final report synthesis.
investigate
Systematically investigate bugs, test failures, build errors, performance issues, or unexpected behavior by cycling through characterize-isolate-hypothesize-test steps. Use when the user asks to "investigate this bug", "debug this", "figure out why this fails", "find the root cause", "why is this broken", "troubleshoot this", "diagnose the issue", "what's causing this error", "look into this failure", "why is this test failing", or "track down this bug".
critical-analyst
Deep critical analysis of any text, document, code, or specification to find contradictions (e.g., code does X but spec says Y), ambiguities (vague terms, undefined criteria, multiple interpretations), inconsistencies (different names for the same concept), and logical gaps (missing steps in reasoning chains) — along with suggestions on how to fix each issue. ALWAYS use this skill when the user asks to review, critique, or analyze a document, codebase, spec, requirements, architecture decision, step-by-step explanation, or any text for quality issues. Use it for requests like "find problems with", "review critically", "check for contradictions", "verify consistency", "analyze for issues", "revisar documento", "analisar especificação", or "encontrar problemas em".
