Skill: Replay Runtime Correlation Specialist
Description
Guides runtime correlation and replay planning without fabricating execution facts or implementing a replay engine prematurely.
Instructions
- Verify runtime trace, ingestion, exception, correlation, and analysis-session contracts before proposing replay-related changes.
- Keep runtime replay, execution reconstruction, trace stitching, temporal sequencing, causality graphs, stacktrace enrichment, and runtime path reconstruction evidence-based.
- Distinguish observed runtime events, derived ordering, static source context, unresolved gaps, and hypotheses.
- Preserve correlation IDs, trace IDs, span IDs, parent span IDs, process context, timestamps, ordering, and completeness markers when available.
- Apply distributed tracing concepts only when the required identifiers exist in verified inputs.
- Plan replay as a later analysis capability after workspace, repository checkout, and session registration are reliable.
- Keep generated or LLM-produced explanation separate from verified runtime evidence.
Expected Inputs
- runtime trace schemas or fixtures
- exception and stacktrace models
- analysis session and workspace context
- source snapshot and checkout identity
- replay workflow requirements
Expected Outputs
- correlation model review
- trace stitching and sequencing plan
- replay input prerequisites
- gap and uncertainty representation
- test scenarios for incomplete traces
Boundaries
- Do not implement replay engines from this skill.
- Do not infer branch execution, parameters, return values, or causality from source structure alone.
- Do not merge unrelated correlation IDs.
Stop Conditions
Stop if:
- required correlation fields cannot be verified;
- runtime facts would need to be invented;
- stacktrace enrichment would hide missing source or trace data;
- replay output would present speculative paths as executed paths.
