SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured environment for deep thinking, architectural exploration, and problem investigation, preventing premature implementation and ensuring well-considered design decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exploratory Stance: Facilitates brainstorming, assumption challenging, and problem reframing without the pressure to write code.
  • Visual Mapping: Generates ASCII diagrams to clarify system states, data flows, and architectural dependencies.
  • Contextual Integration: Connects with OpenSpec artifacts to track design decisions, requirements, and scope changes throughout the development lifecycle.

Quick Start

Activate the explore mode to begin a deep-dive analysis of the current codebase architecture and identify potential integration risks.
