Deep Analysis

Deep Analysis leverages the Claude Agent SDK to perform comprehensive architectural review, understanding your entire codebase context.

How It Works

Deep Analysis goes beyond the diff to understand:

• Architectural impact - How changes affect system design
• Cross-cutting concerns - Effects on logging, caching, auth
• Integration points - API contracts, database schemas
• Technical debt - Patterns that may cause future issues
• Scalability - Performance under load, resource usage

Agent Capabilities

The Deep Analysis agent can:

• Read and analyze related files beyond the PR diff
• Search the codebase for similar patterns
• Understand project conventions and enforce consistency
• Trace data flow across multiple components
• Identify missing abstractions or duplicated logic

When to Use Deep Analysis

Deep Analysis is essential for:

• Major refactors
• New architectural components
• Security-critical changes
• Performance-sensitive code
• Breaking API changes

Credit Usage

Deep Analysis typically uses 60-100 credits per review due to the extensive codebase exploration and multi-step reasoning involved.

Example Insights

[Architecture] This change introduces a circular dependency
between UserService and AuthService. Consider extracting
shared logic to a new CredentialsService.

[Scale] The new query pattern will result in O(n) database
calls. Consider batch fetching with a single JOIN query.

[Security] API key is passed through query parameter. Move
to Authorization header to prevent logging exposure.
