SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep Dive orchestrates a 2-stage pipeline that first investigates WHY something happened (trace) then precisely defines WHAT to do about it (deep-interview). The trace stage runs 3 parallel causal investigation lanes, and its findings feed into the interview stage via a 3-point injection mechanism — enriching the starting point, providing system context, and seeding initial questions. The result is a crystal-clear spec grounded in evidence, not assumptions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 2-stage pipeline: trace + deep-interview with 3-point injection to transfer findings into initialization.
  • Parallel trace lanes and team-mode orchestration to speed root-cause analysis.
  • Trace-to-interview injection reduces context switching and seeds targeted questions.
  • Phase-based execution bridge to downstream planning and autopilot with stateful resume.
  • Graceful handling for low-confidence traces and fallback options.

Quick Start

Invoke /deep-dive with your problem statement to start a five-phase investigation and spec crystallization flow.

Frequently Asked Questions about deep-dive

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I crystallize software requirements from a brownfield project investigation?▼

To crystallize software requirements, you orchestrate a structured investigation that traces root causes across parallel causal lanes, then injects those findings into a deep-interview phase to produce evidence-based formal specifications.

What is the best way to investigate root causes before writing a project specification?▼

The best way to investigate root causes is running a 2-stage pipeline with parallel trace lanes to find why something happened, then using a 3-point injection to feed that context into a deep-interview for precise specification generation.

How do I start a deep-dive investigation and spec crystallization flow?▼

To start a deep-dive investigation, you invoke the command with your problem statement to initialize a five-phase flow that handles lane confirmation, autonomous tracing, trace-to-interview injection, and spec generation.

Can I use autonomous tracing for greenfield projects needing structured investigation?▼

Yes, autonomous tracing applies to greenfield projects needing structured investigation by running parallel causal lanes to gather evidence, which then seeds targeted questions for the downstream interview phase.

How does trace-to-interview injection work during requirements gathering?▼

Trace-to-interview injection works by transferring trace findings into interview initialization through a 3-point mechanism, enriching the starting point, providing system context, and seeding initial questions to reduce context switching.

What happens when a root cause trace returns low confidence results?▼

When a root cause trace returns low confidence results, the investigation pipeline provides graceful handling and fallback options to ensure the downstream deep-interview still receives viable context for spec generation.
