What problem does it solve? Teams often jump into implementation before fully understanding a problem, leading to rework and misaligned requirements. This Skill provides a structured thinking partner that investigates the codebase, visualizes options with ASCII diagrams, and captures decisions as OpenSpec change artifacts without writing production code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Discovery: Asks focused questions grounded in actual codebase inspection rather than generic checklists, surfacing risks, unknowns, and hidden complexity. - OpenSpec Integration: Reads existing changes and specs via the openspec CLI, scaffolds new changes with openspec new change, and captures insights into proposals, designs, specs, and tasks. - Visualization: Renders architecture sketches, state machines, and comparison tables in plain ASCII to clarify thinking. - Use Case: When considering adding real-time collaboration to a product, use this Skill to map the collaboration spectrum, compare CRDT versus simpler approaches, and capture the resulting decisions in a change proposal before any code is written. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to enter explore mode and think through whether your planned feature should use SQLite or Postgres before creating a change proposal.
