The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.
--- name: investigate-first description: Diagnose ambiguous failures before editing. Use for unknown causes, intermittent behavior, performance regressions, or investigations needing evidence-ranked hypotheses. --- # Investigate first Gather evidence before changing product code. - Separate observed symptom from inferred cause. - Trace inputs, state transitions, ownership boundaries, and failure output. - Rank hypotheses by evidence and cheap falsification value. - Do not edit until one credible mechanism explains evidence. - Stop exploration when evidence is sufficient to name cause or exact blocker. Report cause and proof. Make no fix unless task authorizes implementation.

Questions
What does the investigate-first skill do?
🪨 why use many token when few token do trick. Viral skill + proxy for coding agents that cuts 65% of tokens by talking like a caveman.
Is investigate-first safe to install?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.
What can investigate-first access on my machine?
The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (ffbca449c090), read on 2026-10-10. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
