Deep Analysis Mode

[ANALYSIS MODE ACTIVATED]

Objective

Conduct thorough analysis of the specified target (code, architecture, issue, bug, performance bottleneck, security concern).

Approach

1. Gather Context

   • Read relevant files
   • Check git history if relevant
   • Review related issues/PRs if applicable

2. Analyze Systematically

   • Identify patterns and antipatterns
   • Trace execution flows
   • Map dependencies and relationships
   • Check for edge cases

   For Debugging/Bug Analysis (4-Phase Protocol)

   When analyzing bugs or issues, follow systematic debugging:

   • Root Cause First - Never skip to fixes

     • Read ALL error messages
     • Reproduce consistently
     • Document hypothesis before looking at code

   • Pattern Analysis - Find working vs broken

     • Compare with working similar code
     • Identify the specific delta

   • 3-Failure Circuit Breaker - If stuck:

     • After 3 failed hypotheses, question the architecture
     • The bug may be elsewhere entirely

3. Synthesize Findings

   • Root cause (for bugs)
   • Design decisions and tradeoffs (for architecture)
   • Bottlenecks and hotspots (for performance)
   • Vulnerabilities and risks (for security)

4. Provide Recommendations

   • Concrete, actionable next steps
   • Prioritized by impact
   • Consider maintainability and technical debt

Output Format

Present findings clearly:

• Summary (2-3 sentences)
• Key Findings (bulleted list)
• Analysis (detailed explanation)
• Recommendations (prioritized)

Stay objective. Cite file paths and line numbers. No speculation without evidence.
