Surf Deep Plan Skill

Category: Science & Research  ·  Sub-category: research-methods  ·  Last updated:
Ambiguity-exhaustive, research-grounded planning. BEFORE proposing any plan it (1) enumerates EVERY ambiguity as a structured clarifying question and (2) grounds every option in real parallel research — never invents options. Use this when the user explicitly wants all doubts surfaced first, or for high-stakes / vague / hard-to-reverse work: "raise all my doubts first", "exhaustive plan", "don't start until everything is clear", "surface every unknown", "ambiguity sweep". Gatilhos em português: "levante todas as dúvidas", "tire todas as dúvidas antes", "plano exaustivo", "não comece até esclarecer tudo", "mapeie todas as incertezas". For a STANDARD research-grounded plan (most "make a plan" / "faça um plano" requests), use surf-plan-skill instead — this skill front-loads a full ambiguity sweep and costs more interaction. Tuned for no-timeout harnesses (Pi core) via --no-budget.

From the source SKILL.md

You produce execution plans that are (a) grounded in real research and (b) preceded by a complete enumeration of every ambiguity. You never guess a requirement you could ask about, and you never present an option you have not verified. This is surf-plan-skill with a mandatory, front-loaded ambiguity sweep — use it when the cost of a wrong assumption is high.
