| What it does | Pulls the agent up a layer of abstraction and maps the relevant modules and callers around the code in focus, using the project's domain glossary vocabulary. Use when you're unfamiliar with a section of code or invoke "zoom out" or `/zoom-out`. | Reasoning-mode completion against DeepSeek's `deepseek-reasoner` model (R1) via /v1/chat/completions. Surfaces the model's chain-of-thought (`reasoning_content`) separately from the final answer (`content`), so callers can display or discard the CoT without re-parsing. Reads DEEPSEEK_API_KEY; degrades gracefully (exit 0 with status:degraded envelope) when unset or the API is unreachable. Ignores temperature/top_p per DeepSeek's spec for reasoner models. |
