gsd-forensics

<objective> Investigate what went wrong during a GSD workflow execution. Analyzes git history, `.planning/` artifacts, and file system state to detect anomalies and generate a structured diagnostic report. <context> **Data sources:** - `git log` (recent commits, patterns, time gaps) - `git status` / `git diff` (uncommitted work, conflicts) - `.planning/STATE.md` (current position, session history) - `.planning/ROADMAP.md` (phase scope and progress) - `.planning/phases/*/` (PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, VERIFICATION.md, CONTEXT.md) - `.planning/reports/SESSION_REPORT.md` (last session outcomes)

• Problem description: $ARGUMENTS (optional — will ask if not provided) </context>

<process> Execute end-to-end. </process>

• Evidence gathered from all available data sources
• At least 4 anomaly types checked (stuck loop, missing artifacts, abandoned work, crash/interruption)
• Structured forensic report written to

  .planning/forensics/report-{timestamp}.md

• Report presented inline with findings, anomalies, and recommendations
• Interactive investigation offered for deeper analysis
• GitHub issue creation offered if actionable findings exist </success_criteria>

• Read-only investigation: Do not modify project source files during forensics. Only write the forensic report and update STATE.md session tracking.
• Redact sensitive data: Strip absolute paths, API keys, tokens from reports and issues.
• Ground findings in evidence: Every anomaly must cite specific commits, files, or state data.
• No speculation without evidence: If data is insufficient, say so — do not fabricate root causes. </critical_rules>
