Focus Problem Analysis

Analyze: $ARGUMENTS

Explore Codebase First

Before diving in, use the Explore agent to understand the context:

Task(subagent_type="Explore", model="haiku", prompt=""" Explore the codebase for: $ARGUMENTS (thoroughness: medium) Focus on: 1. Relevant files and modules 2. Existing similar features 3. Test patterns 4. Architecture patterns """)

Analysis Framework

1. Core Problem Identification

What is the real problem?

Why does it need to be solved?

What happens if we don't solve it?

2. Minimal Solution Scope

What's the minimum change needed?

Which features are essential?

What can be deferred or omitted?

3. Solution Evaluation

Option A (Simplest):

Option B (Balanced):

Option C (Complete):

Recommendation: Choose the simplest viable option

4. Implementation Plan

Step 1: Write tests

Step 2: Minimal implementation

Step 3: Update documentation

Step 4: Commit changes

Output Template

## Problem Definition ### Summary [One sentence description] ### User Need [Who needs this? What do they want to achieve?] ### Success Criteria [How do we know it's done?] ### Scope - In scope: [List] - Out of scope: [List] ### Affected Files - [file1.ts] - [why] - [file2.ts] - [why] ### Risk Assessment - [Potential risks and mitigations]

Follow this process strictly. Don't skip steps.
