SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a lightweight upstream exploration primitive to converge nascent ideas into a shared understanding by blending in-thread reasoning with multi-tier research across self, repo/docs, web, and peer-reviewed literature. It sits upstream of the design cycle, does not act as a bead or epic, and captures the outcome in a decision drawer for later promotion or rest.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Lightweight, multi-tier exploration that blends Tier 1 (self) and Tier 2 (repo/docs) reasoning with optional Tier 3/4 deep-research when needed.
  • HYBRID loop: in-thread reasoning plus dispatched heavy rounds to surface robust grounding from web and scholarly sources.
  • Two user exits: REST to park a finding, PROMOTE to wire into /design-a-cycle, with grounding in the exploration drawer.
  • Seed drawers using templates and tag them as exploration to surface in searches.

Quick Start

Provide an nascent idea and trigger the exploration by issuing /explore <your-idea>.

FAQPage Schema
How do I explore a nascent idea before committing to a design cycle?

Multi-tier exploration converges nascent ideas into shared understanding by blending in-thread reasoning with research across self-reflection, repo context, web data, and peer-reviewed literature. It grounds concepts before committing to a design cycle.

What is the best way to ground early-stage concepts using repository context and web research?

A hybrid loop blends light in-thread reasoning with heavy-dispatch research rounds, pulling robust grounding from repository docs, web data, and peer-reviewed literature to validate early-stage concepts.

Can I park exploration findings instead of immediately promoting them to a design cycle?

Yes, you can use the REST exit to park findings in an exploration drawer for later rest, or use the PROMOTE exit to wire grounded findings directly into a design cycle.

Does this exploration process require a soundness gate before capturing findings?

No, the exploration process requires no soundness gate. It captures firm findings into a decision drawer using a hybrid loop of light in-thread work and heavy-dispatch research rounds.

How do I make exploration drawers discoverable in searches using templates?

Seed drawers using templates and tag them as exploration to surface them in searches. This organizes captured findings for potential promotion to design cycles or later rest.
