Quick Start

Enter explore mode with /aif-explore [topic or plan name].

Frequently Asked Questions about aif-explore

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I brainstorm and explore architectural concepts without modifying my codebase?

Deep exploration of ideas requires a non-prescriptive environment to read project documentation and search code without modifications. This Skill provides an open-ended space to investigate problems, visualize concepts with ASCII diagrams, and clarify requirements while keeping your project context intact.

What is the best way to identify risks and unknowns during early project planning?

Identifying risks and unknowns involves surfacing potential gaps in understanding through structured brainstorming and conceptual thinking. This Skill facilitates comparing multiple approaches and visualizing complex ideas to clarify requirements and highlight project gaps before implementation begins.

Can I use this for codebase investigation if I have existing project documentation?

Yes, codebase investigation works by reading your existing project documentation and configuration files. This Skill requires access to project-specific context files to properly facilitate conceptual thinking and investigate problems within your actual project environment.

How do I start brainstorming multiple approaches for a complex problem?

Brainstorming multiple approaches starts by entering an exploration mode dedicated to deep thinking free from implementation constraints. You can generate various options, compare them directly, and use visual aids like ASCII diagrams to map out and evaluate different problem-solving paths.

Does conceptual thinking exploration work without writing any code?

Conceptual thinking exploration works entirely without writing code by providing a non-prescriptive space for investigation. The Skill focuses on reading files, searching the codebase, and visualizing concepts to clarify ideas rather than generating or modifying implementation.

When should I avoid using an exploration mode for problem-solving?

Exploration mode should be avoided when you need immediate code generation or direct modifications to your project files. This Skill is designed for open-ended investigation and conceptual thinking rather than prescriptive implementation or automated codebase changes.
