Individual skill
parallel-investigation
Coordinates parallel investigation threads to simultaneously explore multiple hypotheses or root causes across different system areas. Use when debugging production incidents, slow API performance, multi-system integration failures, or complex bugs where the root cause is unclear and multiple plausible theories exist; when serial troubleshooting is too slow; or when multiple investigators can divide root-cause analysis work. Provides structured phases for problem decomposition, thread assignment, sync points with Continue/Pivot/Converge decisions, and final report synthesis.

# Parallel Investigation
Coordinate parallel investigation threads to explore multiple hypotheses simultaneously. Most effective for production incidents, performance regressions, or integration failures where the root cause is unclear.
## Core Principle
**When uncertain, explore multiple paths in parallel. Converge when evidence points to an answer.**
Parallel investigation reduces time-to-solution by eliminating serial bottlenecks.
## Investigation Structure
### Phase 1: Problem Decomposition
