After setup, try these prompts with your AI agent:

→Why did this deployment fail after rollout?

→Is this workload safe to restart right now?

→Why are ArgoCD apps out of sync?

→Before I apply this change, is this mutation safe?

→Why are certs failing to renew?

Save the docs, env vars, and workflow around RootCause in Conare so Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor remember it next time.
