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 exploration mode where you can think through ideas, investigate the codebase, compare options, and clarify requirements before committing to a change. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Exploration Mode: Acts as a thinking partner that asks clarifying questions, challenges assumptions, and surfaces risks without writing any implementation code. - Codebase Investigation: Maps existing architecture, finds integration points, and grounds discussions in the actual code using ASCII diagrams and visualizations. - OpenSpec Integration: Captures crystallized decisions as OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs, tasks) via the openspec CLI, with support for registered standalone stores. - Use Case: Before adding real-time collaboration to your app, use explore mode to compare approaches (presence indicators vs CRDTs), map the current architecture, and then scaffold a change proposal once the direction is clear. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to enter explore mode and think through whether Postgres or SQLite fits your CLI tool before creating a change proposal.
