Copied from the file, not written here

Deeply scope a problem before coding: parallel Explore agents map related files, similar implementations, and test patterns, producing a problem definition, boundaries, and minimal implementation plan. Use when planning a feature, investigating a bug, or entering an unfamiliar codebase area.

Focus Problem Analysis

Analyze: $ARGUMENTS

Explore Codebase First

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

Agent(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
