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

  • Parallel 3-lane trace investigations to surface root causes
  • 3-point injection to initialize the interview with trace findings and critical unknowns
  • Structured spec generation that incorporates trace findings and lane-by-lane gaps
  • Seamless handoff to downstream planning/execution skills with explicit spec_path

Quick Start

Invoke /deep-dive with your problem to start the trace-interview pipeline and generate a crystallized spec.

FAQPage Schema
How do I crystallize requirements when root causes for a complex problem are unclear?

To crystallize requirements when root causes are unclear, you can run a 2-stage trace and interview pipeline that investigates why something happened and then precisely defines what to do about it.

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

The best way to investigate root causes before generating a specification is to run 3 parallel causal investigation lanes, then feed those trace findings into a structured interview via a 3-point injection mechanism.

How does a trace-injected interview workflow improve requirement gathering?

A trace-injected interview workflow improves requirement gathering by using a 3-point injection mechanism to enrich the starting point, provide system context, and seed initial questions with evidence from prior causal investigations.

When do I need an evidence-based spec over a standard requirement document?

You need an evidence-based spec over a standard requirement document when applying workflows to complex problems where root causes are unclear and downstream planning and execution skills require a grounded, crystal-clear specification.

Can I hand off a crystallized spec directly to downstream planning and execution skills?

Yes, you can hand off a crystallized spec directly to downstream planning and execution skills because the pipeline provides end-to-end orchestration and state persistence with an explicit spec_path for seamless downstream handoff.
