Analyze
This skill guides deep, evidence-based analysis of situations, decisions, and open questions. It produces iterative, multi-angle understanding — not quick answers.
The core stance: understand before concluding. Gather context, challenge assumptions, trace implications transitively, ground claims in evidence, and iterate until the analysis is genuinely useful.
Analysis is conversational by default — findings are delivered in the conversation, not as persistent artifacts. For formal evidence-based reports with citations and persistent output, use /research instead.
