Rca Systems Theoretic

Quality score: 70/100 · Category: Engineering · Sub-category: architecture

Systems-theoretic approaches to root cause analysis for complex socio-technical systems where linear causal chains fail. Covers Nancy Leveson's STAMP (Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Process), STPA (System-Theoretic Process Analysis) for hazard analysis, CAST (Causal Analysis based on STAMP) for post-incident investigation, Rasmussen's risk-management framework and dynamic safety model, Hollnagel's FRAM (Functional Resonance Analysis Method), and AcciMap. Use when investigating incidents in healthcare, aviation, nuclear, autonomous systems, distributed microservices, or any system where multiple actors and control loops interact — especially when classical RCA produces a "list of human errors" that leaves the underlying system design unchanged.

What this skill does

Rca Systems Theoretic is a production-ready Claude Code skill (quality score 70/100) in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/rca-systems-theoretic/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when investigating incidents in healthcare, aviation, nuclear, autonomous systems, distributed microservices, or any system where multiple actors and control loops interact — especially when classical RCA produces a "list of human errors" that leaves the underlying system design unchanged.
