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 committing to a change. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Exploratory Thinking Partner: Asks clarifying questions, challenges assumptions, and surfaces multiple directions without forcing a fixed workflow. - Codebase Investigation: Maps existing architecture, finds integration points, and grounds discussions in the actual code. - Visual Communication: Uses ASCII diagrams, comparison tables, and state machines to make complex tradeoffs concrete. - OpenSpec Integration: Detects active changes via the openspec CLI and offers to capture decisions in proposals, designs, specs, and tasks. - Use Case: Before adding real-time collaboration to your app, use explore mode to map the collaboration spectrum, compare CRDT versus presence-based approaches, and capture the chosen direction in a design document. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to enter explore mode and think through your idea or problem before creating an OpenSpec change proposal.
