investigate
SolidEvidence-based investigation of issues, bugs, API calls, integrations, and other aspects of software development that need a deep dive to find the root cause and solutions. Use when you need to debug, troubleshoot, diagnose, or figure out why something is broken — especially when in-depth analysis of the reasons and an adversarial validation of the proposed solution are needed. Does not review code for quality or style — use code-review for auditing changes or post-code-review-to-pr for posting review feedback to GitHub. Does not assess architectural health or structural risk — use architectural-analysis for architectural concerns. Does not research open-ended options, prior art, or how something works when nothing is broken — use research for that. Does not capture feedback on Han's own skills — use han-feedback for that.

debug
Investigation-first debugging — gather evidence, form confirmed root-cause hypothesis, hand off to fix mode with diagnosis file.
mkinvestigate
Systematic debugging with root cause investigation. Four phases: investigate, analyze, hypothesize, implement. Iron Law: no fixes without root cause. Use when asked to "debug this", "fix this bug", "why is this broken", "investigate this error", or "root cause analysis". Proactively suggest when the user reports errors, unexpected behavior, or is troubleshooting why something stopped working. NOT for applying fixes without investigation (see mk:fix); NOT for step-by-step evidence-based reasoning (see mk:sequential-thinking).
debug
Trace and diagnose runtime bugs with evidence. Use when something isn't working but code looks correct, when you need to understand what's actually happening at runtime, or when investigating issues before fixing.
research-issue
Investigate production issues and bugs through hypothesis-driven debugging. Accepts stacktraces, logs, error messages, or vague behavioral descriptions and produces a root cause analysis.
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".
