When your agent uses it
Use when the user asks for deep discovery, 100-question brainstorming, idea interrogation, architecture stress testing, strategy vetting, weakness finding, hole-poking, exhaustive exploration, planning or auditing Codex plugins or skills, or pre-commitment review of a design, plan, strategy, architecture, product, business idea, trading system, or problem space.

# Deep Discovery
A structured self-interrogation framework that exhaustively explores a topic through
100 sequential questions, each building on the previous answer. Designed to be
used in Codex as a skill for rigorous, sequential exploration before committing
to a design or decision.
## Preflight
1. Identify the topic, available context, focus, and starting point. If any of
those are too ambiguous to run a useful interrogation, ask at most three
clarifying questions before starting.
2. Choose the mode:
- **Evaluation:** an existing design, architecture, strategy, or plan exists.Skills included
