Deep Process

Structured LLM workflows that make AI assistants actually think instead of just respond.

Quick Start

npx deep-process init

This interactive installer will:

1. Copy process files to _deep-process/ in your project
2. Auto-detect your AI tools (Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Copilot, etc.)
3. Generate properly configured commands for each tool
4. Optionally update .gitignore

Then use in your AI tool:

/deep-verify Check the API in src/api/ against docs/requirements.md
/deep-explore Should we use Redis or Memcached for caching?
/deep-feasibility Can we ship the new auth system in 2 weeks?

Available Processes

Deep Verify

Structured verification and fact-checking of code and documents. Traces assumptions, finds contradictions, runs adversarial review.

Deep Explore

Think through decisions systematically. Explores multiple paths, considers alternatives, makes trade-offs explicit.

Deep Document

Generate documentation from code. Extracts ontology, creates structured docs, maintains consistency.

Deep Feasibility

Multi-dimensional feasibility assessment across 10 dimensions: technical, timeline, resources, dependencies, risks, team, infrastructure, compliance, maintenance, and unknowns.

Deep Synthesis

Synthesize multiple sources into genuine understanding. Goes beyond summarization to build integrated mental models.

Deep Risk

Comprehensive risk analysis with cascade tracing, impact assessment, and mitigation strategies.

Deep Architect

Architecture design with pattern exploration, component analysis, and decision documentation.

Deep Diagram

Generate architecture diagrams from code or descriptions.

CLI Commands

Installation

# Interactive install
npx deep-process init

# Non-interactive
npx deep-process init --yes --tools claude,gemini

# Install for specific tools
npx deep-process init --tools cursor,copilot

Management

# Show what's installed
npx deep-process status

# Add a tool integration
npx deep-process add-tool github-agents

# Remove a tool integration
npx deep-process remove-tool cursor

# Update to latest versions
npx deep-process update

# Uninstall everything
npx deep-process uninstall

Supported AI Tools

The installer auto-detects and configures for:

• Claude Code - Native plugin support
• Claude Desktop / API - CLAUDE.md files
• Gemini - .gemini/ config files
• Cursor - .cursorrules files
• GitHub Copilot - Agent files (.github/agents/)
• Continue.dev - .continue/ config
• Cline - CLAUDE.md files
• Windsurf - .windsurfrules files
• Roo Code - CLAUDE.md files
• Aider - .aider/ config
• V0 - v0.md files

Manual Installation

If you prefer manual setup:

1. Clone the processes:

   git clone https://github.com/deep-process-org/deep-process
   cp -r deep-process/processes _deep-process

2. Configure your tool:

   • For Claude Code: Install as plugin
   • For Cursor: Create .cursorrules files
   • For GitHub Copilot: Copy agent files to .github/agents/
   • See full documentation for other tools

Why Deep Process?

LLMs default to being fast and agreeable. They skip steps, take shortcuts, and produce outputs that look thorough but aren't.

Deep Process gives the LLM a structured protocol to follow:

• Specific steps and quality gates
• Adversarial checks and bias corrections
• Evidence requirements and traceability
• Falsifiable conclusions

The result: Outputs you can actually act on, not just conversation.

Examples

Verify code against spec:

/deep-verify Check if src/auth/ implements all requirements from docs/auth-spec.md

Explore architectural decisions:

/deep-explore Compare microservices vs monolith for our use case

Assess feasibility:

/deep-feasibility Can we migrate to Kubernetes in Q1 with our current team?

Generate documentation:

/deep-document Create API docs from src/api/

Analyze risks:

/deep-risk Identify risks in our multi-region deployment plan

Configuration

After installation, you'll have:

your-project/
├── _deep-process/           # Process files (don't edit)
│   ├── deep-verify/
│   ├── deep-explore/
│   ├── deep-document/
│   ├── deep-feasibility/
│   └── deep-synthesis/
│
└── deep-process.config.yaml # Config file (edit as needed)

Edit deep-process.config.yaml to:

• Enable/disable specific processes
• Configure process behavior
• Set default parameters

Troubleshooting

"Command not found"

• Make sure your AI tool can access the _deep-process/ directory
• Check that files were copied correctly with npx deep-process status

"Process files missing"

• Run npx deep-process update to re-copy files
• Verify _deep-process/ exists and isn't gitignored

"Wrong tool detected"

• Manually specify tools: npx deep-process init --tools claude,cursor
• Or use npx deep-process add-tool <name> after installation

Development
