Deepening Methodology

Phase 1: Plan Analysis

1. Read and Understand Plan

   • Read the entire plan document
   • Identify key sections and requirements
   • Note areas that need additional depth or clarification

2. Scope Definition

   • Determine which sections benefit most from deepening
   • Identify knowledge gaps or uncertainties
   • Prioritize based on impact and complexity

Phase 2: Parallel Research Agents

Launch specialized research agents in parallel based on plan needs:

Architecture & Design Agents:

1. System Architecture Researcher - Overall system design and integration
2. Domain Model Researcher - Business logic and data relationships
3. API Design Researcher - Endpoint specifications and contracts

Implementation & Quality Agents:
4. Best Practices Researcher - Industry standards and conventions
5. Performance Researcher - Optimization strategies and patterns
6. Security Researcher - Security considerations and mitigations
7. Testing Strategy Researcher - Comprehensive testing approaches

Language & Framework Agents:
8. Language-Specific Researcher - Language idioms and patterns
9. Framework Researcher - Framework capabilities and constraints

Integration & Operations Agents:
10. Integration Researcher - External dependencies and APIs
11. Database Researcher - Data modeling and query patterns
12. UI/UX Researcher - User interface patterns and best practices

Phase 3: Knowledge Integration

1. Collect Research Findings

   • Gather insights from all research agents
   • Identify patterns and common themes
   • Evaluate conflicting recommendations

2. Update Plan Sections

   • Enhance existing sections with new insights
   • Add new sections for uncovered aspects
   • Include references and citations

3. Create Deepened Plan

   • Integrate research findings into coherent plan
   • Highlight key decisions and trade-offs
   • Provide implementation guidance

Phase 4: Validation and Refinement

1. Review Deepened Plan

   • Check for consistency and completeness
   • Validate technical feasibility
   • Assess alignment with project goals

2. Present Enhancements

   • Summarize key additions and improvements
   • Highlight critical insights and recommendations
   • Explain rationale for changes

3. Next Steps

   • Option to further refine specific sections
   • Proceed to implementation planning
   • Generate documentation from deepened plan

Output Features
