FAQPage Schema
How do I reason through codebase problems before implementing changes?

A guided exploration session helps you reason through codebase problems by reading files and surfacing questions without writing features. This approach clarifies requirements and reduces ambiguity or rework before implementation.

What is a thinking partner for exploring ideas and technical challenges?

A thinking partner for exploring ideas is a guided mode that prompts you with questions and directions to clarify requirements. It investigates problems by reading your codebase and visualizing options without implementing features.

Can I generate diagrams to visualize codebase options without writing new code?

Yes, you can generate diagrams to visualize codebase options without writing new code. The read-only exploration mode allows you to investigate problems and map out visual options while strictly avoiding feature implementation.

How do I capture requirements and design specs during a problem-solving session?

To capture requirements and design specs during a problem-solving session, you can request OpenSpec artifact suggestions. This generates proposals, designs, and specifications to document your thinking and reduce ambiguity for future work.

Does this exploration mode modify my existing files and implement features directly?

No, this exploration mode does not modify your existing files or implement features directly. It operates as a read-only investigation tool that emphasizes thinking, visualizing options, and surfacing questions before any actual change initiative.
