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, and captures decisions as OpenSpec change artifacts without writing implementation code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Discovery: Asks focused questions, challenges assumptions, and grounds discussion in the actual codebase using read-only OpenSpec CLI commands. - ASCII Visualization: Draws architecture diagrams, state machines, and comparison tables in plain ASCII to clarify thinking. - Change Capture: Scaffolds new OpenSpec changes via openspec new change and writes proposals, designs, specs, and tasks only after explicit user confirmation. - Use Case: A developer considering real-time collaboration runs explore mode to map the design space, compare CRDT versus presence approaches, and capture the resulting decisions in a change proposal before any code is written. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to enter explore mode and think through whether your planned feature should use SQLite or Postgres before creating an OpenSpec change proposal.
