Do NOT ask the user questions.\nRead the codebase, analyze eligibility logic, workflow efficiency, and compliance,\nthen produce a comprehensive assessment of the benefits processing system.</p>\n<p>TARGET:\n$ARGUMENTS</p>\n<p>If arguments are provided, focus on specific areas (e.g., \"SNAP eligibility only\",\n\"document verification\", \"appeal workflow\"). If no arguments, run the full analysis.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 1: SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY</h1>\n<p>Step 1.1 -- Read project configuration to identify tech stack: backend framework,\ndatabase, frontend, authentication, document storage, integration middleware,\nand reporting tools.</p>\n<p>Step 1.2 -- Scan codebase for supported benefit programs: SNAP, Medicaid/CHIP,\nTANF, WIC, housing assistance, LIHEAP, SSI/SSDI, Unemployment Insurance, and\nstate-specific programs. For each, record eligibility rule modules, application\nintake endpoints, and determination workflow paths.</p>\n<p>Step 1.3 -- Identify external integrations: Federal Data Services Hub, SAVE,\nstate wage databases, SSA verification, IRS income verification, vital records,\nchild support enforcement, EBT systems. Record connection types and error handling.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 2: ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATION ANALYSIS</h1>\n<p>Step 2.1 -- Locate the eligibility rules engine (Drools, IBM ODM, custom logic).\nDetermine if rules are externalized/configurable or hardcoded. For each program,\ntrace: income thresholds, asset tests, categorical eligibility, household\ncomposition, citizenship checks, work requirements, time-limit tracking.</p>\n<p>Step 2.2 -- Analyze income calculation: gross income computation, allowable\ndeductions (earned income, dependent care, shelter, medical), self-employment\nincome, irregular income averaging, prospective vs. retrospective budgeting,\nmulti-program counting differences. Flag hardcoded poverty level thresholds.</p>\n<p>Step 2.3 -- Verify household composition logic handles: purchase-and-prepare\ntest, elderly/disabled separate household rules, boarders, institutional\nresidents, homeless individuals, students, ineligible member proration.</p>\n<p>Step 2.4 -- Check edge cases: mixed immigration status households, zero-income,\nself-employment losses, seasonal workers, military families, disaster-affected\nhouseholds (expedited processing), pending verification applicants.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 3: APPLICATION WORKFLOW EFFICIENCY</h1>\n<p>Step 3.1 -- Evaluate intake: online portal (mobile-responsive?), paper\ndigitization, kiosk and phone support, multi-language forms, save-and-resume,\npre-screening eligibility tools.</p>\n<p>Step 3.2 -- Map the processing pipeline from receipt through benefit issuance:\nqueuing, caseworker assignment (manual vs. automated), verification requests,\ndocument collection, interview scheduling, determination, notice generation.\nIdentify automation level and bottlenecks at each stage.</p>\n<p>Step 3.3 -- Check federal timeliness tracking: SNAP 30-day standard / 7-day\nexpedited, Medicaid 45-day / 90-day disability, TANF state timelines. Verify\ndeadline alerting and expedited case fast-tracking.</p>\n<p>Step 3.4 -- Analyze document handling: upload capabilities, OCR/automated\nextraction, type classification, verification checklists, missing document\nnotifications, retention policies, secure storage and access controls.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 4: ERROR RATE AND QUALITY ANALYSIS</h1>\n<p>Step 4.1 -- Scan input validation: SSN format and duplicate detection, address\nstandardization, date validation, income reasonableness checks, cross-field\nconsistency, required field enforcement.</p>\n<p>Step 4.2 -- Identify quality controls: supervisor review queues, random sample\nselection, automated error detection, payment accuracy tools, federal QC sample\nidentification, error-prone case flagging.</p>\n<p>Step 4.3 -- Analyze error correction: overpayment/underpayment detection,\nclaim establishment, recoupment scheduling, inadvertent error vs. intentional\nviolation classification, waiver processing.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nPHASE 5: APPEALS, MULTI-PROGRAM, AND ACCESSIBILITY</h1>\n<p>Step 5.1 -- Check appeal workflow: filing mechanisms, timeliness validation,\ncontinued benefits during appeal, hearing scheduling, evidence assembly,\ndisposition recording, decision implementation, overturn rate analytics.</p>\n<p>Step 5.2 -- Assess multi-program coordination: single application for multiple\nprograms, auto-screening, shared client index, cross-program data sharing,\nconflicting information detection, categorical eligibility triggers, benefit\ninteraction rules, transitional benefits.</p>\n<p>Step 5.3 -- Scan for Section 508 / ADA compliance: ARIA labels, keyboard\nnavigation, screen reader compatibility, color contrast (WCAG 2.1 AA), form\nlabels, skip navigation, alt text, multi-language support, mobile responsiveness,\nlow-bandwidth tolerance, timeout warnings.</p>\n<h1>============================================================\nSELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations)</h1>\n<p>After producing output, validate data quality and completeness:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Verify all output sections have substantive content (not just headers).</li>\n<li>Verify every finding references a specific file, code location, or data point.</li>\n<li>Verify recommendations are actionable and evidence-based.</li>\n<li>If the analysis consumed insufficient data (empty directories, missing configs),\nnote data gaps and attempt alternative discovery methods.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>IF VALIDATION FAILS:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify which sections are incomplete or lack evidence</li>\n<li>Re-analyze the deficient areas with expanded search patterns</li>\n<li>Repeat up to 2 iterations</li>\n</ul>\n<p>IF STILL INCOMPLETE after 2 iterations:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flag specific gaps in the output</li>\n<li>Note what data would be needed to complete the analysis</li>\n</ul>\n<h1>============================================================\nOUTPUT</h1>\n<h2>Benefits Processing System Analysis</h2>\n<p><strong>Project:</strong>
