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 helps you explore ideas, investigate your codebase, and clarify requirements before committing to a change. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Exploratory Thinking Partner: Engages in open-ended dialogue to challenge assumptions, reframe problems, and surface risks without forcing a rigid workflow. - Codebase Investigation: Reads files, maps architecture, and identifies integration points to ground discussions in your actual code. - Visual Communication: Uses ASCII diagrams, comparison tables, and state machines to clarify complex concepts. - OpenSpec Integration: Detects active changes via the openspec CLI and offers to capture decisions in proposals, designs, specs, and task files. - Use Case: Before building a real-time collaboration feature, use explore mode to map the spectrum of approaches (presence indicators, cursors, CRDTs), compare tradeoffs, and crystallize requirements into a change proposal. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to enter explore mode and help you think through a vague feature idea or investigate a problematic part of your codebase before implementing anything.
