FAQPage Schema

How do I explore ideas and clarify requirements before making codebase changes?▼

To investigate a codebase, you map architecture, find integration points, and surface complexity through adaptive dialogue. This exploration reveals existing code patterns and highlights potential risks before you commit to a specific implementation path.

What is the best way to compare design options for a new feature?▼

The best way to compare design options is to brainstorm approaches and sketch tradeoffs with an AI thinking partner. This process helps you explore the problem space, visually compare options, and understand the implications of a new feature.

Can I use this to map architecture and find integration points in my code?▼

Yes, you can use this to map architecture and find integration points within your codebase. It acts as an AI thinking partner to investigate problems and surface complexity through grounded, adaptive dialogue during your codebase investigation.

Does codebase investigation with a thinking partner support direct implementation?▼

No, codebase investigation with a thinking partner does not support direct implementation. It is designed to facilitate deep thinking, explore the problem space, and clarify requirements without writing or applying code changes.
