Two-stage investigation — causal trace (via @trail-tracer) followed by requirements crystallization (via @echo-analyst + dev-deep-interview). Use when a problem is both unclear in cause AND unclear in scope.

Two-stage investigation — causal trace (via @trail-tracer) followed by requirements crystallization (via @echo-analyst + dev-deep-interview). Use when a problem is both unclear in cause AND unclear in scope.
# Dev Deep Dive Derived from oh-my-claudecode (MIT, Yeachan Heo). Adapted for the EvoNexus Engineering Layer. A two-stage investigation that combines causal tracing with requirements crystallization. Use when both the cause AND the scope of a problem are ambiguous. ## Use When - Production issue with unclear cause AND unclear scope of fix - Bug report that needs both root cause analysis and clarification of "what does fixed look like?" - Strategic problem where you don't know what to build OR why the current state isn't working ## Workflow ### Stage 1 — Causal trace Hand off to `@trail-tracer`: - Generate competing hypotheses - Collect evidence FOR and AGAINST each - Apply lenses (systems / premortem / science) - Identify the discriminating probe - Save report to `workspace/development/debug/[C]trace-{topic}-{date}.md` ### Stage 2 — Requirements crystallization Hand off to `@echo-analyst` + `dev-deep-interview`: - Surface unstated assumptions - Define scope boundaries - Identify missing acceptance criteria - Save spec to `workspace/development/specs/[C]spec-{topic}-{date}.md` ### Stage 3 — Synthesis - Combine the trace report and the requirements spec - Output: a unified understanding of "what's broken AND what done looks like" - Hand off to `@compass-planner` to plan the actual fix ## Pairs With - `@trail-tracer` (Stage 1) - `@echo-analyst` (Stage 2) - `dev-deep-interview` (Stage 2) - `@compass-planner` (Stage 3 handoff)
