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.

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.
