# Mode: Deep Work
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
Hard design or debugging problem on a known project. Plan-first, spec-first, willing to spend tokens on quality. Sonnet drives; Opus is consulted only via named workflows.
|
|
NOT for: small one-shot edits (use `quick`), parallelisable bulk work (use `orch`), or general chat (use `chat`).
|
|
|
|
## Driver constraint
|
|
You are running as Sonnet. Fixed for the session. To get Opus reasoning, do NOT try to "switch" — invoke one of the named workflows below, which spawn Opus subagents for specific high-value decisions. Opus does not enter this mode any other way.
|
|
|
|
## Subagent policy
|
|
- Default subagent model: Sonnet
|
|
- Spawn a Sonnet subagent when: a research task spans >3 files or needs broad exploration (use the Explore agent)
|
|
- Spawn an Opus subagent ONLY via the named workflows below — not freelance
|
|
- Do NOT spawn parallel Sonnet subagents to "go faster" on coding work; finish one thing properly before starting the next
|
|
|
|
## Reasoning posture
|
|
- Default thinking depth: think hard
|
|
- Escalate to "ultrathink" only when: explicitly invoking a named workflow that calls for it (e.g. plan review, gnarly-bug consult)
|
|
- Do NOT default to ultrathink on every turn — it bloats context for little gain
|
|
|
|
## Async policy
|
|
- Background bash: enabled
|
|
- Third-party delegation: the /ask-minimax skill (file-heavy grunt work, second opinions); on MiniMax failure, fall back to an Opus subagent.
|
|
- ScheduleWakeup: enabled, for checking on background jobs. Wakeup prompts MUST be self-contained.
|
|
- Container agents (control plane): not the focus of this mode — if you find yourself wanting them, suggest relaunching in `orch`
|
|
|
|
## Workflow stance
|
|
- Plan mode: auto-enter on the first non-trivial request (anything beyond a single-file edit). Write the plan to `<MILESTONE>-<purpose>-PLAN.md` per CLAUDE.md conventions before exiting plan mode.
|
|
- Spec-driven workflow: enforced. New behaviour requires a spec update in the same commit as the code. Read SPEC.md and the relevant spec/ files before touching code.
|
|
- Best-practices topics to load at start: spec-driven-development, test-driven-development, security-architecture, plus any topics named in the project's CLAUDE.md
|
|
- Memory files: read MEMORY.md index, then pull topic files relevant to the task at hand
|
|
- Before any git push: confirm the repo's SSH key is loaded (`ssh-add -l`) — see claude/source-control.md § SSH agent pre-flight.
|
|
|
|
## Named workflows available
|
|
These are the ONLY ways Opus enters this mode. Each is a deliberate, high-value escalation, not a default behaviour.
|
|
|
|
| Workflow | When to invoke | How |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| **Plan review** | After writing a plan in plan mode, before exiting | Spawn an Opus subagent with the plan + relevant best-practices topics; ask for an independent critique. Write the response to `<plan>-review.md`. |
|
|
| **Spec review** | After writing or substantially editing a spec file | Spawn an Opus subagent with the spec + spec-driven-development.md; ask it to flag ambiguity, missing requirements, untestable scenarios. |
|
|
| **Dual-model second opinion** | When you've made a non-obvious decision and want it independently validated | Spawn an Opus subagent with the decision + the context that led to it. Stream its response to a file and only read it back into context if it disagrees. |
|
|
| **Gnarly-bug consult** | After 30+ minutes of debugging without progress, OR when a bug crosses subsystem boundaries | Run the `/ask-minimax` skill with the full bug context (pass file paths, not contents); if MiniMax errors (`invalid system role` or otherwise), fall back to an Opus subagent with the same brief — see `claude/ask-minimax-usage.md` § Failure handling. |
|
|
| **Architecture review** | At the end of a milestone, before the reflection | Spawn Opus with the milestone's diff + relevant best-practices topics; ask for an architecture-level critique. |
|
|
|
|
## Auto-fire at session start
|
|
none (plan mode auto-engages on first non-trivial request, not at start)
|
|
|
|
## Status line format
|
|
`[Sonnet→Opus] deep · <project>: <task> | N% ctx`
|
|
|
|
The `→Opus` arrow indicates Opus consultation is available via named workflows.
|
|
|
|
## Escalation triggers
|
|
| Trigger | Action |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| User asks a substantive design or debugging question | Enter plan mode automatically before doing any work. |
|
|
| You're about to write or edit a spec file | After the edit, invoke the **Spec review** workflow. |
|
|
| You finish a plan in plan mode | Invoke the **Plan review** workflow before exiting plan mode. |
|
|
| Debugging stalls for 30+ minutes | Invoke the **Gnarly-bug consult** workflow. |
|
|
| Task turns out to be trivial (single-file edit, no design needed) | Tell the user this would be faster in `quick` mode and ask whether to relaunch or continue. |
|
|
| User wants to dispatch many parallel tasks to containers | Recommend `orch` mode. |
|
|
|
|
## Out of scope
|
|
This mode does NOT:
|
|
- Spawn Opus subagents outside the named workflows
|
|
- Default to ultrathink on routine turns
|
|
- Skip plan mode for non-trivial work
|
|
- Skip the spec when adding new behaviour
|
|
- Dispatch container agents (that's `orch`)
|
|
|
|
## On context wipe (/clear)
|
|
First message after a context wipe must be:
|
|
> "Resuming Deep Work on <project>: <task>. Plan mode will engage automatically on the next substantive request. Say 'switch mode' to change."
