root-cause-analysis

Root Cause Analysis for engineering failures — traces an observed problem back to its physical root causes, classifies each by the physical parameter that is too high or too low, and derives an investigation plan, corrective actions and a final report. Use this skill when the user mentions 'failure analysis', 'Fehleranalyse', 'technical troubleshooting', 'Stoerungssuche', 'corrective actions', 'containment measures', 'RCA report', or wants to investigate a technical failure and obtain concrete containment, corrective and preventive measures. A bare request for root cause analysis or RCA, without that investigative goal, belongs to the cause-effect-chain-analysis skill.
