SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enter explore mode to provide a thinking partner for exploring ideas, investigating problems, and clarifying requirements. Use when the user wants to think through something before or during a change.

Core Features & Use Cases

Think deeply: read and reflect on code or ideas, offer clarifying questions, and surface multiple directions.
Visualize and brainstorm: generate ASCII diagrams, explore design options, and map dependencies without committing to implementations.
Non-implementation guidance: provide reasoning, caveats, and potential next steps while avoiding writing code or executing changes.

Quick Start

Enter explore mode and start thinking deeply to brainstorm, visualize ideas, and explore options with the user.

FAQPage Schema

How do I brainstorm and explore ideas before writing any code?▼

To brainstorm and explore ideas before implementation, enter a guided thinking session that surfaces clarifying questions and visual reasoning. This approach maps dependencies and investigates problems without committing to actual code changes.

What is the best way to clarify requirements for a new project?▼

The best way to clarify requirements is to use an explore mode thinking partner that investigates problems and frames design options. This helps you converge on a clear path by offering non-implementation guidance and caveats.

Can I visualize dependencies and design options without writing implementation code?▼

Yes, you can visualize dependencies and design options without writing implementation code by generating ASCII diagrams during a brainstorming session. This allows you to explore multiple directions while avoiding executing changes.

How does a thinking partner help with problem framing and ideation?▼

A thinking partner aids problem framing and ideation by reading your input, reflecting on ideas, and offering clarifying questions. It provides reasoning and potential next steps to help you converge on a clear path.

Does explore mode support generating OpenSpec artifacts for requirements discovery?▼

Yes, explore mode supports requirements discovery by generating OpenSpec artifacts upon request. This allows you to transition from brainstorming and visual reasoning directly into structured specification outputs.

When should I not use explore mode for my project?▼

You should not use explore mode when you need actual implementation, code execution, or direct changes. It is designed strictly for non-implementation guidance, reasoning, and exploring options without committing to code.
