To investigate codebase architecture before implementation, use an exploration tool to map integration points, identify patterns, and visualize tradeoffs. This helps you understand existing structures and clarify requirements thoroughly before writing any code.

The best way to brainstorm approaches for a complex feature is to use a thinking partner that grounds discussions in your actual codebase. It facilitates curious, adaptive exploration and visualizes tradeoffs using ASCII diagrams without writing implementation code.

Yes, you can use a thinking partner to clarify requirements for a complex problem. It engages you in a deep thinking process that facilitates adaptive exploration, ensuring your design decisions are grounded in the actual codebase before development begins.

You map architecture and find integration points by engaging in a codebase investigation process. This involves grounding your exploration in the actual codebase to identify patterns and visualize structural relationships without directly implementing code.

No, this codebase exploration approach does not generate any implementation code. It is specifically designed to facilitate deep thinking, clarify requirements, and compare options visually, leaving the actual coding phase for a separate step.
