To explore ideas before implementing, use a conversational thinking partner that investigates your codebase, visualizes tradeoffs, and clarifies requirements adaptively without writing the actual solution.

The best way to clarify requirements is through adaptive conversations that explore the problem space deeply, question assumptions, and integrate with the OpenSpec system to capture insights.

Yes, you can investigate your codebase while exploring options. The process reads files to ground discussions in reality, helping you compare approaches and visualize data flows directly.

This approach focuses strictly on problem solving and exploration, operating as a thinking partner rather than an implementer, ensuring you thoroughly evaluate designs before any code is written.

You visualize tradeoffs by brainstorming different design patterns in an adaptive conversation, which helps map out data flows and highlight potential risks for each architectural option.
