Rca Assistant
Use when investigating the root cause of a data quality issue, pipeline failure, anomaly, or validation failure — including any request to trace why data is wrong, why a test failed, why a pipeline produced unexpected output, why a metric dropped, or why an alert fired. Triggers: any mention of root cause, RCA, why did this fail, investigate this issue, trace this anomaly, pipeline failure, data incident, quality regression, alert investigation, defect triage, or post-mortem. Also use when the user says 'help me figure out what's wrong', 'something looks off in the data', 'a test is failing and I don't know why', or 'walk me through this issue'. Use this skill even when the investigation is informal — a structured workflow produces better outcomes than ad-hoc querying.
