Gather firsthand facts and produce a fact / inference / unknown ledger before any recommendation.

Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.

$npx skills add HughYau/qiushi-skill --skill investigation-first

01

Install it

Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.

02

Ask naturally

Describe the task. Your agent loads investigation-first when the request matches its description.

调查研究

"没有调查,没有发言权。" —— 《反对本本主义》

调查研究是落实「实事求是」的入口:不是为既定结论找材料,而是让事实规定判断。

用 / 不用

用:

  • 要做决策,但对实际情况了解不够
  • 面对陌生的代码库、系统或领域
  • 别人的方案听起来合理,但你不清楚其适用条件
  • 发现自己在用"应该是""一般来说"作答

不用:

  • 已经调查过,现在是执行阶段
  • 用户已提供完整上下文和决策依据
  • 答案可以直接跑一下验证,跑比查快

操作规程

  1. 一句话写出调查目的:「我要弄清楚的是:……」。没有目的的调查是漫游。
  2. 列调查提纲(checkbox),覆盖四个面:
    • 现状:现在是什么样(读源码、配置、数据,不只看文档)
    • 历史:为什么变成这样(git log、blame、变更记录)
    • 关联:牵涉哪些约束(接口、依赖、调用方、部署环境)
    • 多方:有哪些不同说法(文档 vs 代码 vs 运行结果 vs 用户描述)
  3. 亲自接触第一手材料:直接读、直接跑、直接看日志。二手总结只能作线索,不能作证据。
  4. 边查边记,分三栏:每条发现标注来源;把"看到的"和"推出来的"分开。
  5. 输出调查结论(模板见下)。结论必须先于任何行动方案;不得边查边给方案。
  6. 事实与预期不符时,改判断,不改事实。查不清的,诚实写"未知"。

输出模板

调查目的:……
调查范围:读了 …… / 跑了 …… / 问了 ……

已核实的事实(附来源):
- ……(来源:文件:行 / 命令输出 / 日志)
合理推断(说明推理链):
- ……(因为 …… 所以 ……)
未知 / 存疑:
- ……(需要 …… 才能确认)

调查结论:
- 现状是:……
- 关键约束是:……
- 我原来不知道、现在知道的是:……
- 基于以上,我的判断是:……(置信度:高 / 中 / 低)

纪律

  • 禁止在"未知"栏非空且关系到结论时下定论:要么补查,要么把不确定性写进结论。
  • 禁止走马观花:只看目录结构和 README 就总结的,不算调查。
  • 调查有预算:先写提纲,按提纲查完即止;发现新的大问题时另开一轮,而不是无限扩张。

交接

  • 调查揭示多头矛盾、抓不住重点 → contradiction-analysis
  • 结论已形成、需要验证 → practice-cognition
  • 范围大、可分头查 → 派遣 investigator 子 agent 并行调查,主线只汇总三栏

  • • It is part of a pack with 11 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
