SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Single-shot answers to complex questions often contain unexamined assumptions and weak reasoning. This Skill subjects one topic to a rigorous multi-pass investigation where each pass builds on the last and the final answer must survive its own critique. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four-Pass Resumed Chain: Frames the question, explores it, red-teams the exploration, then synthesizes an answer that withstands the critique, with each pass resuming the prior session. - First-Party Execution: Invokes the Aurora orchestration engine via the aurora CLI using only your authenticated Claude Code (claude -p), with no third-party models, no UA spoofing, and a budget cap of 300K tokens (env-overridable). - Safe Input Handling: Passes the topic through a quoted heredoc on stdin so quotes, backticks, and shell metacharacters in the user's text never reach the shell. - Use Case: Ask to deeply analyze whether a microservices migration is justified for your team, and receive a live 4-pass tree followed by a synthesis that has already survived a red-team pass. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to go deep on a single topic, for example by typing /deep followed by the question you want pressure-tested.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a deep multi-pass analysis on one topic?

Type /deep followed by your topic, or ask to deeply analyze one question. The Skill invokes the aurora CLI in deep mode, passing your topic verbatim through a quoted heredoc on stdin, and relays the live 4-pass tree plus final synthesis.

What are the four passes in the deep analysis chain?

Pass 0 frames the question, pass 1 explores it, pass 2 red-teams the exploration, and pass 3 synthesizes an answer that withstands the critique. Each pass resumes the prior session so reasoning builds cumulatively.

Does the deep skill use third-party models or APIs?

No, it uses only your authenticated Claude Code via claude -p calls. There is no third-party model or agent, no user-agent spoofing, and the token budget is capped at 300K, overridable via environment variable.

Why is the topic passed through a quoted heredoc?

The quoted 'AURORA_TASK' heredoc delimiter disables all shell expansion, so quotes, dollar signs, backticks, semicolons, and newlines in your topic cannot reach the shell. This prevents command injection from arbitrary user text.

How long does a deep analysis run take?

A real run takes minutes because it executes four sequential claude -p passes. Use a long Bash timeout when invoking it, and expect streaming stdout showing the live pass tree before the final synthesis.
