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.

<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/HUNTMAP.md` (phase scope and progress) - `.planning/phases/*/` (PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, FINDINGS.md, CONTEXT.md) - `.planning/reports/SESSION_REPORT.md` (last session outcomes)User input:
- Problem description: $ARGUMENTS (optional — will ask if not provided) </context>
<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. </critical_rules>
