A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-forensics.
- Treat all user text after
$gsd-forensics as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
- If no arguments are present, treat
{{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.
B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:
Parameter mapping:
header → headerquestion → question- Options formatted as
"Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
- Generate
id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores
Batched calls:
AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]
Multi-select workaround:
- Codex has no
multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.
Execute mode fallback:
- When
request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.
C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:
Direct mapping:
Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")Task(model="...") → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks
Parallel fan-out:
- Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs →
wait(ids) for all to complete
Result parsing:
- Look for structured markers in agent output:
CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent

<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.
Purpose: Diagnose failed or stuck workflows so the user can understand root cause and take corrective action.
Output: Forensic report saved to .planning/forensics/, presented inline, with optional issue creation.
</objective>
<execution_context>
@/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/forensics.md
</execution_context>
<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)
User input:
- Problem description: {{GSD_ARGS}} (optional — will ask if not provided)
</context>
<process>
Read and execute the forensics workflow from @/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/forensics.md end-to-end.
</process>
<success_criteria>
- 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>
<critical_rules>
- 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.
