From the source SKILL.md

"The root cause was human error" is almost never a useful investigation finding. It stops the inquiry exactly where it should begin. This skill teaches the frameworks that treat human performance as a window into the system that produced it — so you end up redesigning the system rather than retraining the operator.

What this skill does

Rca Human Factors is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the operations sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/rca-human-factors/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when investigating incidents in aviation, healthcare, nuclear operations, emergency response, or any context where "operator error" is a tempting but shallow explanation and the real question is what organizational and design factors made the error foreseeable.
