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 mode for exploring ideas, investigating codebases, and clarifying requirements before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Explore Mode Stance: Acts as a curious thinking partner that asks questions, challenges assumptions, and surfaces multiple directions without forcing a fixed workflow. - Codebase Investigation: Reads files, maps architecture, finds integration points, and visualizes systems with ASCII diagrams while never writing implementation code. - OpenSpec Integration: Detects active changes via the openspec CLI, reads existing proposals and designs, and offers to capture decisions in the right artifacts (specs, design.md, tasks.md). - Use Case: A developer is unsure whether to use Postgres or SQLite for a CLI tool. In explore mode, the assistant maps constraints, builds a comparison table, recommends a path, and offers to capture the decision in design.md. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to enter explore mode and think through your idea or problem before creating a change proposal.
