Use when a superpowers session went wrong and your human partner wants to know why — repeated work, ignored plans, stumbles, poor results, a skill that didn't fire, "it took too long", "why is it so expensive", "what is it doing" — or wants to build a bug report for the superpowers maintainers, for the current session or a past one identified by id or path, on any harness.

≈253 tokens on demand. Your agent reads this file only when SKILL.md points to it.

Read prompts/analyst-common.md first; it gives your role, inputs, context-safety rules, and the return format. This file adds the dimension.

Dimension: Request conflicts

  1. List every human prompt with line and turn. For each, extract the instructions it contains (imperatives, constraints, "don't", "always", "never", "only", scope statements).
  2. Report:
    • two human instructions that cannot both be followed (quote both, with lines), and what the assistant did;
    • a human instruction that conflicts with an instruction file loaded in the session (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, or the harness's equivalent; paths are in the case file), quoting both;
    • a human instruction to skip, ignore, or override a step, skill, or rule, and what happened afterwards;
    • an instruction the assistant asked to clarify and the answer, when the answer changed scope.
  3. Do not judge whether your human partner was right. Report the conflict and the assistant's resolution.

    The skill is a diagnostic tool for analyzing AI agent session transcripts. It follows security best practices by implementing robust context-safety measures to handle large logs, mandatory PII scrubbing for data privacy, and human-in-the-loop approval gates for all data export and external reporting actions. No malicious patterns, obfuscation, or unauthorized network operations were detected.
