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 the AI acts as a thinking partner—investigating the codebase, visualizing options with diagrams, and clarifying requirements—without writing any implementation code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Explore Mode Stance: Investigates problems, challenges assumptions, and compares options without implementing code, keeping thinking separate from execution. - OpenSpec Integration: Reads project context via the openspec CLI, scaffolds new changes with openspec new change, and captures decisions into proposals, designs, specs, and task artifacts. - Visualization-First Thinking: Uses ASCII diagrams, comparison tables, and architecture sketches to clarify complex problems. - Use Case: A developer considering real-time collaboration features can explore the tradeoffs between presence indicators, shared cursors, and CRDT-based sync, then capture the chosen direction as an OpenSpec change proposal. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to enter explore mode and think through whether Postgres or SQLite fits your CLI tool before creating a change proposal.
