Before / After

Without /recursive

Why? But really why?

With /recursive

/recursive Why is my product not growing? Keep asking 'why' until we hit the root cause.

What changes in Claude's response

Claude does its own 5 Whys: it answers, then asks itself why that's true, then answers the next layer, until it reaches something structural ('because you're acquiring customers from a channel that doesn't compound, so growth is linear with effort'). The recursion reveals root causes that single-pass analysis misses.
