Skill: Delegate Analysis

Use one of the following modes. The primary should name the mode, scope, and question explicitly.

Modes

code-exploration

• Orient with file search, then read only the key files.
• Trace dependencies one level further only when needed.
• Return findings with concrete file paths and symbols.

targeted-reading

• Use the named files as scoped starting points and retrieve only what answers the question.
• Extract only the facts needed to answer the question.
• Organize the result by topic or file, with line references where useful.

web-research

• Prefer authoritative primary sources.
• Cross-check important claims when practical.
• Return a concise synthesis with source URLs and explicit uncertainty.
• This is delegate work: use retriever only to crawl or fetch already-selected sources, not for open-ended search, source selection, or cross-source judgment.

deep-dive

• Start at the named entry point and follow relevant indirections until the question is answered.
• Map the code or data path with file and symbol evidence.
• Highlight non-obvious behavior, assumptions, and unresolved gaps.

Rules

• Default to read/analyze/verify. Do not edit files.
• Stay within the delegated scope.
• Directly read scoped source, docs/plans, symbols, and compact targeted evidence. Keep uncurated bulk evidence out of the delegate context: use a reliable focused filter when sufficient; otherwise route the raw artifact, command, or path plus a focused question to retriever, including coherent multi-file evidence. Numeric tool truncation is a safety net, not the routing rule.
• Spool potentially verbose command output to a predictable path under /tmp/opencode/; retain only path, command, exit status, and compact metadata/evidence. This supports same-machine continuation after an interruption, not reboot durability.
• The parent owns synthesis and verifies only evidence that materially supports its conclusions rather than repeating broad retrieval.
• If the task becomes a review, artifact authoring task, or implementation task, stop and ask the primary to route through the matching skill.
• After an analysis digest/message diagnoses an evidence-backed defect, the Primary may accept it and explicitly instruct remediation by resuming this session through review-fix. That skill owns eligibility, writes, and the one-pass stop; analysis itself remains read-only. Reuse correct and sufficient diagnosis context to avoid collecting secured evidence again; otherwise follow its fresh-session fallback with a finding-source hint. Conversation-owned plan corrections still route to update-plan.
• Return a compact digest, not raw file contents or long logs.
