Analyzes DWARF debug information in compiled binaries. Use when inspecting .debug_* sections, DIE trees, or DW_TAG_/DW_AT_ entries with dwarfdump/llvm-dwarfdump or readelf, verifying debug info with llvm-dwarfdump --verify, answering DWARF standard questions, or writing code that parses DWARF (libdwarf, pyelftools, gimli).

Use only when a developer explicitly asks to clean, prune, tidy, or organize DeepChat SDD documentation after implementation and validation. Scans docs/features, docs/issues, and docs/architecture; prefers multi-agent review when available; removes completed issue docs when a linked GitHub issue is closed or implementation and validation evidence proves the bug no longer exists, drops stale plans and legacy task files from completed feature or architecture goals, and deletes obsolete feature or architecture docs.
Use before substantial DeepChat code, configuration, documentation, test, build, feature, issue, refactor, or architecture changes that need a durable RFC and an explicit execution path. Skip trivial style fixes, small localized logic changes, routine docs edits, and simple bugs unless the developer asks for SDD. Use plan.md as the only separate tracker when needed, default to implementation-first validation, and ask before optional GitHub issue sync unless the developer explicitly requested sync.
Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
Comprehensive document creation, editing, and analysis with support for tracked changes, comments, formatting preservation, and text extraction. When Claude needs to work with professional documents (.docx files) for: (1) Creating new documents, (2) Modifying or editing content, (3) Working with tracked changes, (4) Adding comments, or any other document tasks
