SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams start with thorough investigation before implementation, ensuring you understand requirements, risks, and alternatives by analyzing code paths, symbols, and behaviors early in the lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define exact research questions and scope to guide investigation.
  • Inspect the smallest relevant files and symbols first to minimize noise.
  • Compare competing code paths or proposed changes and synthesize findings for decision-making.

Quick Start

Define the exact research question and instruct the AI to inspect the smallest relevant files and compare key code paths.

Frequently Asked Questions about deep-research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I investigate code paths and behaviors before implementation to reduce risk?▼

Investigate code paths by defining exact research questions and inspecting the smallest relevant files first to synthesize findings for risk-aware implementation decisions.

What is the best way to compare competing code paths during refactoring?▼

Comparing code paths requires analyzing symbol usage and change history to synthesize behaviors, ensuring you ground refactoring decisions in traceable evidence rather than assumptions.

How do I trace behavior and synthesize decisions for complex codebases?▼

Trace behavior by inspecting source files and symbol usage within a defined scope, then synthesize the investigation findings into a concise summary to guide planning and refactoring.

Do I need source files and change history access to research code paths?▼

Researching code paths requires access to source files, symbol usage, and change history to accurately trace behavior and produce a focused synthesis for decision-making.

Can I use early investigation to define exact research scope for code analysis?▼

Early investigation lets you define a precise research scope and inspect minimal relevant files first, reducing noise and grounding decisions in focused behavior analysis.
