SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires deep-interview, trace, autopilot, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The deep-dive Skill helps users understand and solve complex problems by structuring the investigation process into two stages: tracing the root cause and then crystallizing the requirements through an interview.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Trace Investigation: Parallel causal investigation into a problem, identifying potential root causes.
  • Interview Refinement: Interactive session with targeted questions to crystallize requirements.
  • Spec Crystallization: Generates a specification document based on investigation and interview outcomes.
  • Use Case: Ideal for when users need to diagnose a problem deeply and then create a detailed plan to address it, such as debugging a software bug or exploring a new product feature.

Quick Start

To initiate a deep dive, use the command: /deep-dive "The application crashes during the user authentication process."

Frequently Asked Questions about deep-dive

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a structured root cause investigation for a software bug?

A structured root cause investigation traces causal factors in parallel to identify the underlying issue. It applies causal tracing to diagnose the problem deeply before planning a solution or generating a specification.

What is the best way to refine requirements after diagnosing a complex problem?

The best way to refine requirements after diagnosis is through an interactive interview with targeted Socratic questioning. This process crystallizes the exact needs and generates a detailed specification document based on the outcomes.

How do I crystallize a specification document from a bug diagnosis?

To crystallize a specification document from a bug diagnosis, combine parallel causal tracing with an interactive interview. This translates the root cause analysis and refined requirements into a structured specification for implementation.

Do I need the deep-interview and trace skills to perform a structured problem analysis?

Yes, completing a structured problem analysis requires the deep-interview, trace, and autopilot skills. These dependencies orchestrate the parallel causal investigation and the interactive questioning needed to generate the final specification.

Can I use Socratic questioning to explore a new product feature requirement?

Yes, you can use Socratic questioning to explore a new product feature requirement. The interactive interview targets specific questions to crystallize requirements, making it ideal for both debugging and new feature planning.

When should I not use a deep dive approach for requirement analysis?

You should not use a deep dive approach for requirement analysis when a problem is trivial or the root cause is already obvious. This structured multi-stage investigation and interview process is designed for complex problems requiring deep analysis.
