## Why this exists
You ask Cursor to investigate a metric drop. It gives you an answer. You act on it.
Three months later: *"Why did we change that?"* — gone. No reasoning, no data checks, no audit trail.
Or you open a new chat and explain the whole context again from scratch, repeating work that already happened.
**alive-analysis solves this** by turning every analysis into a structured, version-controlled workflow. Cursor guides you through a five-stage loop. Each stage produces a markdown file. Everything stays in your repo, searchable by you and by Cursor.
The result: a growing knowledge base of how your team thinks, not just what it decided.

## How it works
```
You describe a question → /analysis-new
↓
Cursor walks you through 5 stages:
ASK → LOOK → INVESTIGATE → VOICE → EVOLVE
↓
Each stage = one markdown file in analyses/
↓
Files are Git-tracked, full-text searchable,
readable by Cursor in future conversations
↓
Six months later: /analysis-search "checkout drop"
→ Cursor surfaces context, findings, and follow-ups
```

Agent configuration for systematic bug investigation that traces issues from error logs through the codebase to root cause with suggested fixes.
Agent for integrating third-party APIs including SDK setup, type generation, error handling, retry logic, and rate limit management.
Cursor's built-in autonomous coding agent that can make multi-file edits, run terminal commands, search the codebase, and iteratively build features with minimal human intervention.
