This skill should be used after running cortex assess hooks [--hook <name>] (or the underlying hook_investigate MCP action that produces HookIncidentEvidence) to analyze why a Claude Code/Codex/Gemini hook failed, timed out, misfired, or otherwise degraded the agent session. Use when the user asks to assess hook reliability, evaluate why a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop/SessionStart hook failed or blocked a flow, propose hook script or hook-config changes, or follow up on hook incident evidence.
