# Basic usage
/codex:analyze-with-file TOPIC="How to optimize this project's authentication architecture"

# With depth selection
/codex:analyze-with-file TOPIC="Performance bottleneck analysis" --depth=deep

# Continue existing session
/codex:analyze-with-file TOPIC="authentication architecture" --continue

# Auto mode (skip confirmations)
/codex:analyze-with-file -y TOPIC="Caching strategy analysis"

Step 0: Session Setup
   ├─ Parse topic, flags (--depth, --continue, -y)
   ├─ Generate session ID: ANL-{slug}-{date}
   └─ Create session folder (or detect existing → continue mode)

Step 1: Topic Understanding
   ├─ Parse topic, identify analysis dimensions
   ├─ Initial scoping with user (focus areas, perspectives, depth)
   └─ Initialize discussion.md

Step 2: Exploration (Inline, No Agents)
   ├─ Detect codebase → search relevant modules, patterns
   │   ├─ Read project-tech.json / project-guidelines.json (if exists)
   │   └─ Use Grep, Glob, Read, mcp__ace-tool__search_context
   ├─ Multi-perspective analysis (if selected, serial)
   │   ├─ Single: Comprehensive analysis
   │   └─ Multi (≤4): Serial per-perspective analysis with synthesis
   ├─ Aggregate findings → explorations.json / perspectives.json
   └─ Update discussion.md with Round 1

Step 3: Interactive Discussion (Multi-Round, max 5)
   ├─ Present exploration findings
   ├─ Gather user feedback
   ├─ Process response:
   │   ├─ Deepen → deeper inline analysis in current direction
   │   ├─ Adjust → new inline analysis with adjusted focus
   │   ├─ Questions → direct answers with evidence
   │   └─ Complete → exit loop for synthesis
   ├─ Update discussion.md with each round
   └─ Repeat until user selects complete or max rounds

Step 4: Synthesis & Conclusion
   ├─ Consolidate all insights → conclusions.json
   ├─ Update discussion.md with final synthesis
   └─ Offer options: quick execute / create issue / generate task / export / done

Step 5: Quick Execute (Optional - user selects)
   ├─ Convert conclusions.recommendations → tasks.jsonl (unified JSONL with convergence)
   ├─ Pre-execution analysis (dependencies, file conflicts, execution order)
   ├─ User confirmation
   ├─ Direct inline execution (Read/Edit/Write/Grep/Glob/Bash)
   ├─ Record events → execution-events.md, update execution.md
   └─ Report completion summary

## Current Understanding
In round 1 we discussed X, then in round 2 user said Y...

## Current Understanding

### What We Established
- The authentication flow uses JWT with refresh tokens
- Rate limiting is implemented at API gateway level

### What Was Clarified
- ~~Assumed Redis for sessions~~ → Actually uses database-backed sessions

### Key Insights
- Current architecture supports horizontal scaling

### Round N - [Deepen|Adjust|Q&A] (timestamp)

#### User Input
What the user indicated they wanted to focus on

#### Analysis Results
New findings from this round's analysis
- Finding 1 (evidence: file:line)
- Finding 2 (evidence: file:line)

#### Insights
Key learnings and clarifications

#### Corrected Assumptions
- ~~Previous assumption~~ → Corrected understanding
  - Reason: Why the assumption was wrong

#### Open Items
Remaining questions or areas for investigation
