Discovery-first collaboration mode for clarifying problems, inspecting repo/environment state, and surfacing options with trade-offs without implementing. Use when the user asks to explore, investigate, analyze, compare approaches, de-risk a direction, or gather context before planning/execution. Also use when uncertainty is high and the user is not yet decision-complete.
Describe the current problem and surface 2–4 safe exploration options without changing any files.

To analyze a repository and compare approaches before coding, you need a discovery-first workflow that inspects repo state and surfaces 2-4 safe exploration branches with explicit trade-offs while enforcing non-mutating behavior to prevent unintended changes.
The best way to investigate a codebase with high uncertainty is to use a safe exploration loop that classifies commands by repo impact, surfaces options with trade-offs, and captures workflows using explicit mode-switching to prevent unintended persistence or mutations.
You start clarifying a problem and de-risking a direction by describing the current problem and requesting 2-4 safe exploration options, which allows you to gather context and evaluate trade-offs without implementing code or mutating tracked repo state.
Yes, this exploration approach supports safe mode-switching during repo inspection by enforcing guarded transitions and classifying commands by environment impact, ensuring that all investigation and analysis remains non-mutating and prevents unintended persistence.
You should avoid using explore mode for problem-analysis when you are already decision-complete and ready for implementation, as it is designed strictly for gathering context, clarifying problems, and comparing approaches without writing code or mutating files.
