IMPLEMENTATION STEPS

Step 1: READ TASKS & MAIN RULE

read_file({
  target_file: "memory-bank/tasks.md",
  should_read_entire_file: true
})

read_file({
  target_file: ".github/instructions/memory-bank/copilot-instructions.md",
  should_read_entire_file: true
})

Step 2: LOAD ANALYZE MODE MAP

read_file({
  target_file: ".github/instructions/memory-bank/visual-maps/analyze-mode-map.instructions.md",
  should_read_entire_file: true
})

Step 3: DETECT DOCUMENT TYPE

Analyze user input for keywords to determine analysis type:

Intent Detection Keywords:

• Bug Analysis: "bug", "issue", "error", "problem", "not working", "broken", "crash", "failure"
• Requirements/PRD: "requirement", "feature", "PRD", "specification", "product", "user story", "epic"
• Research: "research", "competitor", "market", "investigate", "analysis", "study", "survey"
• Brainstorming: "brainstorm", "ideas", "creative", "possibilities", "innovation", "ideation"

Step 4: LOAD DOCUMENT TYPE-SPECIFIC TEMPLATE

Based on document type determined, load:

For Bug Analysis:

read_file({
  target_file: ".github/instructions/memory-bank/Phases/AnalyzePhase/analyze-template-bugs.instructions.md",
  should_read_entire_file: true
})

For Requirements/PRD:

read_file({
  target_file: ".github/instructions/memory-bank/Phases/AnalyzePhase/analyze-template-requirements.instructions.md",
  should_read_entire_file: true
})

For Research:

read_file({
  target_file: ".github/instructions/memory-bank/Phases/AnalyzePhase/analyze-template-research.instructions.md",
  should_read_entire_file: true
})

For Brainstorming:

read_file({
  target_file: ".github/instructions/memory-bank/Phases/AnalyzePhase/analyze-template-brainstorming.instructions.md",
  should_read_entire_file: true
})

Step 5: PRESENT CLARIFICATION MENU (if type unclear)

🔍 ANALYZE MODE: What type of analysis?
1. 🐛 Bug Analysis - Investigate issues, errors, problems
2. 📋 Requirements/PRD - Define features, write specifications  
3. 🔍 Research - Market analysis, competitor research
4. 💡 Brainstorming - Ideation, creative exploration
5. 🔄 Mixed Analysis - Combine multiple types

Please select the number corresponding to your analysis type.

ANALYZE WORKFLOW: 4-PHASE APPROACH

Execute the analysis using the structured 4-phase workflow, adapting based on the loaded template:

Phase 1: DISCOVER 🔍

Purpose: Research, gather information, understand context

• Collect relevant information and context
• Identify stakeholders and constraints
• Gather background data and requirements
• Define scope and boundaries

Phase 2: ANALYZE 📊

Purpose: Break down problems, identify patterns, investigate deeply

• Decompose complex problems into components
• Identify root causes and patterns
• Analyze relationships and dependencies
• Evaluate current state vs desired state

Phase 3: SYNTHESIZE 💡

Purpose: Connect insights, brainstorm solutions, create connections

• Connect findings from analysis phase
• Generate potential solutions or approaches
• Prioritize options based on criteria
• Create actionable recommendations

Phase 4: DOCUMENT 📝

Purpose: Create structured documentation for handoff to PLAN mode

• Create final analysis document
• Structure findings for easy consumption
• Include clear next steps and recommendations
• Save to appropriate analytics subfolder

ANALYTICS FOLDER ORGANIZATION

Save analysis documents to the appropriate subfolder:

memory-bank/analytics/
├── requirements/     # PRDs, requirement analysis, user stories
├── research/        # Market research, competitor analysis, studies
├── bugs/           # Bug analysis, root cause investigation, incident reports
└── brainstorming/  # Ideation sessions, concept exploration, creative work

File Naming Convention: analytics-[type]-[brief-description].md

Example: analytics-requirements-user-authentication-system.md

VERIFICATION CHECKLIST

✓ ANALYZE MODE COMPLETION CHECKLIST
- Document type correctly identified? [YES/NO]
- Appropriate template loaded and followed? [YES/NO]
- All 4 phases completed (DISCOVER → ANALYZE → SYNTHESIZE → DOCUMENT)? [YES/NO]
- Analysis document saved to correct analytics subfolder? [YES/NO]
