What problem does it solve? Teams often jump into implementation before fully understanding a problem, leading to rework and misaligned features. This Skill provides a structured thinking partner that helps you investigate codebases, compare design options, and clarify requirements before committing to a change. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Discovery: Acts as a curious thinking partner that asks focused questions, challenges assumptions, and surfaces risks without forcing a rigid workflow. - Codebase Investigation: Reads files, maps architecture, and grounds discussions in the actual code using read-only commands. - OpenSpec Integration: Checks existing changes via the openspec CLI, scaffolds new change proposals with openspec new change, and captures decisions into proposals, designs, specs, and task artifacts. - ASCII Visualization: Draws plain-ASCII diagrams, state machines, and comparison tables to clarify thinking. - Use Case: Before adding real-time collaboration to your app, use this Skill to explore the tradeoffs between presence indicators, shared cursors, and CRDT-based sync, then capture the chosen direction as an OpenSpec change proposal. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to enter explore mode and help you think through a feature idea or investigate a problem in your codebase before writing any code.
