Integrated domain exploration combining vocabulary learning with research paper genealogy. Use when user says "deep dive [domain]", "explore [domain] deeply", "domain exploration", or wants to learn concepts with their research origins.

.claude/skills/deep-dive/# Deep Dive: Concept + Paper Integration
Learn domain concepts while tracing their research origins. Combines **domain-vocab** (conceptual vocabulary) with **paper-flow** (citation genealogy) for contextualized understanding.
## When to Use
- "Deep dive into [domain]"
- "Explore [domain] deeply"
- "Domain exploration"
- "I want to learn [domain] concepts and their papers together"
- Learning a new field with academic depth
## When NOT to Use
- Quick concept lookup → use `domain-vocab`
- Single concept history → use `trace`
- Latest research only → use `frontier`
- Citation tree only → use `paper-flow`
## Core Value
> Learning concepts alone tells you "what". Learning with paper genealogy tells you "why, where, and how it evolved".
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Domain Entry (domain-vocab)
**Objective:** Extract core concepts with authentic expert tokens
**Actions:**
1. Invoke domain-vocab Phase 0-2:
- Token priming (key figures, literature sampling)
- Domain identification (scope, depth level)
- Core concept extraction (20-30 terms)
2. Identify **anchor concepts** (5-8):
- High-impact terms that shaped the field
- Concepts with clear research origins
- Terms that connect to seminal papers
**Output:**
```yaml
domain: "[identified domain]"
depth_level: L2 # Start at practitioner level
concepts:
- name: "[concept]"
difficulty: entry|intermediate|advanced
is_anchor: true|false # Anchors get paper-flow treatment
potential_papers: ["keyword hints for paper search"]
```
**User Checkpoint:**
> "I'll explore the research lineage for these anchor concepts: [anchors]. Proceed?"
### Phase 2: Research Genealogy (paper-flow)
**Objective:** Build citation trees for anchor concepts
**Actions:**
1. For each anchor concept:
- Search papers using concept name + domain context
- Identify **root paper** (seminal work that introduced/defined the concept)
- Build citation tree (parents + children)
- Extract key papers (high-citation
