Unified root cause analysis with 4-layer anti-skip enforcement for both tactical (dev workflow diagnosis) and strategic (5 Whys RCA documents) modes. Tactical mode auto-triggers after 2-3 failed fix attempts during TDD, returning fix prescriptions. Strategic mode invoked via /rca command, producing self-contained RCA documents with 5 Whys analysis, evidence collection, and actionable recommendations. Uses Execute-Verify-Record pattern at every step to prevent token optimization bias. Use this skill whenever root cause analysis is needed — after repeated test failures, integration failures, QA violations, framework breakdowns, workflow violations, or when the user runs /rca. Also use when the diagnosis-before-fix rule triggers after 3+ consecutive fix attempts on the same error.
