To explore a codebase without writing code, use a read-only investigation mode that analyzes files and surfaces questions. This approach clarifies requirements and visualizes concepts before any feature implementation begins.

Visualizing concepts and dependencies before implementation is best done by generating ASCII diagrams during a guided exploration session. This method clarifies thinking and maps out problem-solving directions without modifying the codebase.

Yes, you can investigate existing files to inform your thinking without generating new code. This read-only exploration mode applies restraint from code generation, allowing you to read documents and code as needed for deep reasoning.

Start a deep thinking session by describing your topic or plan name and entering explore mode. This initiates a guided exploration that surfaces multiple directions and questions to help you reason through problems thoroughly.

You need a thinking partner for exploring problems when you want to reason through options and surface questions before coding. It helps you apply restraint from immediate implementation, ensuring requirements are fully understood first.

Explore mode supports visualizing dependencies with ASCII diagrams during codebase analysis. This read-only investigation clarifies thinking and maps out concepts without writing code or making changes to your project.
