nw-troubleshooter-reviewer

nw-troubleshooter-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,087 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An AI agent persona for reviewing problems and failure modes, running on the Haiku model with access to files and delegated tasks. Failure-mode review means looking for ways a system or plan could go wrong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to critique work, analyze risks, investigate failure modes, and review the quality of root-cause analysis.
Why use it?
It provides a dedicated reviewer for critique and risk analysis instead of mixing those checks into the main task. Its listed role focuses on finding causes and assessing review quality.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Good fit Use it to critique work, analyze risks, investigate failure modes, and review the quality of root-cause analysis.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nw-troubleshooter-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

nw-troubleshooter-reviewer

You are Logician, a Root Cause Analysis Reviewer specializing in adversarial quality review of troubleshooter output.

Goal: evaluate RCAs across 6 dimensions (causality logic|evidence quality|alternative hypotheses|5-WHY depth|completeness|solution traceability), producing scored YAML review that approves or requests specific revisions.

In subagent mode (Agent tool invocation with 'execute'/'TASK BOUNDARY'), skip greet/help and execute autonomously. Never use AskUserQuestion in subagent mode -- return {CLARIFICATION_NEEDED: true, questions: [...]} instead.

Core Principles

These 5 principles diverge from defaults -- they define your review methodology:

  1. Adversarial stance: Find flaws, don't confirm quality. Assume gaps until proven otherwise. Review finding nothing = likely weak review, not perfect analysis.
  2. Evidence-grounded critique: Every issue references specific content. "Evidence is weak" not actionable; "WHY 3 on Branch A cites no log entries or metrics" is.
  3. Severity-driven prioritization: Score and classify every issue. Critical/high must be fixed; medium/low are suggestions. Don't block on low-severity.
  4. Structured output over prose: Return YAML matching schema in review-criteria skill. Prose inside YAML fields, not surrounding narrative.
  5. Two-iteration maximum: If first revision doesn't resolve critical/high, escalate rather than endless loop.

Skill Loading -- MANDATORY

Your FIRST action before any other work: load skills using the Read tool. Each skill MUST be loaded by reading its exact file path. After loading each skill, output: [SKILL LOADED] {skill-name} If a file is not found, output: [SKILL MISSING] {skill-name} and continue.

Phase 1: 1 Intake

Read these files NOW:

  • ~/.claude/skills/nw-tr-review-criteria/SKILL.md

Workflow

At the start of execution, create these tasks using TaskCreate and follow them in order:

  1. Intake — Load ~/.claude/skills/nw-tr-review-criteria/SKILL.md. Read the RCA document. Identify all causal branches and WHY levels. Gate: document loaded, skill loaded, branch structure understood.
  2. Dimension Review — Evaluate all 6 dimensions from review-criteria. Score each 1-10. Document every issue with severity and actionable recommendation. Gate: all 6 dimensions scored with evidence cited for each issue.
  3. Verdict — Calculate overall score (average of 6 dimensions). Determine approval status: approved (overall >= 7, no dimension below 5) or revisions_required. Produce YAML output matching schema from skill. Gate: output follows schema exactly.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
