# Investigate and task skills

Two workflow skills bundled in the admin plugin on every {{productName}} install.

**`investigate`** — systematic debugging with root-cause investigation. Iron Laws: no fix without root cause, no diagnosis without evidence, investigation produces a task — not a fix. Triggers: "debug this", "fix this bug", "why is this broken", "investigate this error", "root cause".

**`task`** — generate a task entry that fully defines a unit of work — motivation, boundaries, verification, and observability — so any session can implement it without further conversation. Triggers: "task it", "create a task", "write a task file", or any description of work that should be captured before a sprint.

Both skills resolve the task surface at run time: graph (`work-*` MCP tools) when available, local `.tasks/` otherwise, or a written report when neither exists. Neither carries telemetry or coupling to `gstack`.
