Kickoff Prompt
Copy this prompt and run it with your agent to start the loop.
Start the "Root Cause Finder" loop.
Goal: Identify root cause
Max iterations: 10
Between iterations run: investigation review
Exit when: Root cause documented
I'm experiencing an issue where [describe specific problem - e.g., 'my API returns 500 errors when processing POST requests']. The error occurs in [component/context] and started happening after [recent changes or timeline if applicable]. I suspect it might be related to [initial hypothesis], but want to systematically identify the root cause. Can you investigate this step by step?
Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run `investigation review` and evaluate the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met (Root cause documented). Stop when the exit condition passes or 10 iterations are reached. Give a short status update each pass.TEAR & SHARE
