Skill Metadata

Name
IterativeDepth
Description
Multi-angle iterative exploration for deeper ISC extraction. USE WHEN iterative depth, deep exploration, multi-angle analysis, explore deeper, multiple perspectives on problem, examine from angles, OR when the Algorithm's OBSERVE phase needs enhanced ISC extraction.

Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/skills/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/IterativeDepth/

If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

IterativeDepth

Structured multi-angle exploration of the same problem to extract deeper understanding and richer ISC criteria.

Grounded in 20 established scientific techniques across cognitive science (Hermeneutic Circle, Triangulation), AI/ML (Self-Consistency, Ensemble Methods), requirements engineering (Viewpoint-Oriented RE), and design thinking (Six Thinking Hats, Causal Layered Analysis).

Core Concept

Instead of analyzing a problem once, run 2-8 structured passes through the same problem, each from a systematically different lens. Each pass surfaces requirements, edge cases, and criteria invisible from other angles. The combination yields ISC criteria that no single-pass analysis could produce.

Workflow Routing

| Trigger | Workflow | |---------|----------| | "iterative depth", "explore deeper", "multi-angle" | Workflows/Explore.md | | "quick depth", "fast angles" | Workflows/Explore.md (Fast mode: 2 lenses) |

Quick Reference

  • 8 Lenses available, scaled by SLA (2-8)
  • Each lens is a structurally different exploration angle
  • Output is new/refined ISC criteria per pass
  • Integration point: Algorithm OBSERVE phase
