Handles "deep dive: <slug>" follow-up requests. Resolves the referenced item from recent briefs, does targeted web research on its primary source, and delivers a focused ~10-15 line analysis via the configured channel. General follow-up by default; a security variant when the item is security-tagged. Invoke with /hermitd-feed:deep-dive <slug>.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Deep Dive

Deliver a focused follow-up analysis for a topic slug referenced in a recent brief.

## Input

The argument is the slug from the brief CTA (e.g., `local-first-sync`, `apex-one-zero-day`).

## Steps

1. **Resolve the item.** Glob `.hermit/briefs/` for files from the last 14 days (sort by
   date, newest first). Scan each for the slug (case-insensitive substring match against the brief body).
   Extract the surrounding paragraph — the item's headline, description, any URL, and its category/tags.

2. **Web research.** Using the URL and headline from the brief (if found), run 1–2 targeted WebFetch calls
   to reach the primary source. If no URL is available, use the slug as a search hint. Collect what the
   analysis template needs: what happened, key facts/dates, current status, and (for security items) CVE/CVSS,
   affected versions, exploitation status, patch status.

3. **Write the analysis.** ≤10–15 lines. Pick the template by the briefed item's nature:

   **Default (general follow-up)** — for any non-security item:
   ```
   **Deep dive: <slug>**

   **What happened:** One–two sentences on the development and its context.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gtapps/claude-code-hermit/deep-dive@sha256:36aabe2b6114c239

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.2f2da1b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
