What problem does it solve? Teams often jump into implementation before fully understanding a problem, leading to rework and misaligned requirements. This Skill provides a structured thinking partner that helps you explore ideas, investigate your codebase, and clarify requirements before or during a change—without writing any implementation code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Explore Mode Stance: Acts as a curious thinking partner that asks questions, challenges assumptions, and surfaces multiple directions rather than following a fixed script. - Codebase Investigation: Reads files, maps architecture, finds integration points, and visualizes systems with ASCII diagrams to ground discussions in reality. - OpenSpec Integration: Checks active changes via the openspec CLI, reads existing proposals, designs, and specs, and offers to capture decisions into the right artifacts (proposal.md, design.md, specs, tasks.md). - Use Case: You are mid-implementation on an OAuth change and realize the integration is more complex than expected. Enter explore mode to trace the flow, compare options with diagrams, and update the design artifact with the new decisions. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to enter explore mode to think through a vague feature idea or investigate a problem in the codebase before creating a change proposal.
