Source playbooks
The why skill spawns one investigator per available evidence category, each reading a single source-specific playbook below. The playbooks are concrete examples for common MCPs. Adapt them for a different MCP in the same category.
| Category | Playbook | Example MCP it documents |
|---|---|---|
| Source control history | code-archaeology.md | git, gh |
| Issue / ticket tracker | linear.md | Linear (adapt for Jira, GitHub Issues, Plane, Shortcut) |
| Long-form documents | notion.md | Notion (adapt for Confluence, Google Docs, Coda) |
| Real-time team chat | slack.md | Slack (adapt for Discord, Microsoft Teams, Mattermost) |
| Infrastructure observability | datadog.md | Datadog (adapt for New Relic, Honeycomb, Grafana, Splunk) |
| Error / exception tracking | sentry.md | Sentry (adapt for Rollbar, Bugsnag, Airbrake) |
| Product analytics warehouse | databricks.md | Databricks SQL (adapt for Snowflake, BigQuery, ClickHouse, dbt) |
Cross-cutting:
incident-postmortem.md. Add this if the target code looks defensive (null checks, retry, timeout, rate limit, feature flag, egress guard, OOM handler).
