deep-dive

A Kiro agent skill that analyzes codebases, documentation, APIs, or product specs and produces a structured technical report for developers.

Architecture

Workflow

What it does

Given any technical material — source code, README, OpenAPI spec, pasted docs, or just a topic name — the agent produces a detailed Markdown report covering:

• System overview and design philosophy
• Architecture diagram (PlantUML)
• Key concepts & terminology glossary
• Data model with ER diagram
• Core flows with sequence diagrams
• API / interface reference
• Configuration & deployment notes
• Extension and integration points
• Observability (logging, metrics, tracing)
• Known limitations and trade-offs
• Actionable further reading recommendations

When to Use

Activate this skill when a developer says things like:

• "help me understand this codebase"
• "deep dive into X"
• "onboard me to this service"
• "how does X work"
• "analyze this doc / spec"
• "详细分析 X 架构 / 部署流程"

Accepted Inputs

Input type	Example
File path(s)	src/, docs/api.yaml, main.go
Pasted text	README content, architecture notes
Topic name	"Kafka consumer groups", "Redis internals"
URL	Link to documentation or spec

When given a directory, the skill automatically scans README*, docs/, entry-point files, and package manifests.

Example Prompts

Give me a deep dive on the Kafka consumer group rebalancing protocol.

Analyze this FastAPI service and explain how it works: [paste README]

Help me understand the worker pool in src/worker/pool.go
