What andie does

Deep breaks down a subject through specialist viewpoints and ends with a plain-language recap. Drama stages a debate over a contested choice and records the objections, while leaving the final call to you. War is for an active production incident: it focuses first on restoring stability, with Kaizen available afterward for investigating causes.

Kaizen examines recurring problems using methods such as 5 Whys, Ishikawa, DMAIC, Pareto, or A3, then works toward one fix at a time. You can name a mode or describe the problem in ordinary language. Claude Code users need to install the plugin first; in Drama, you keep the deciding vote.

What it helps with

build a clear mental model of a technical subject
weigh competing architecture or vendor choices
plan immediate actions during a production incident
trace a recurring failure to a root cause
