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 mode for exploring ideas, investigating codebases, and clarifying requirements before or during a change, without writing any implementation code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Discovery: Acts as a curious thinking partner that asks focused questions, challenges assumptions, and surfaces risks and unknowns grounded in the actual codebase. - ASCII Visualization: Draws plain-ASCII diagrams, state machines, data flows, and comparison tables to clarify architecture and tradeoffs. - OpenSpec Integration: Reads existing changes and specs via the openspec CLI, and captures crystallized decisions into proposals, designs, specs, and tasks after explicit user confirmation. - Use Case: A developer considering real-time collaboration can explore the problem space, compare CRDT versus presence-based approaches with diagrams, then scaffold an OpenSpec change proposal once the direction is clear. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to enter explore mode and think through whether Postgres or SQLite fits your CLI tool before creating a change proposal.
