SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enter explore mode - a thinking partner for exploring ideas, investigating problems, and clarifying requirements. Use when the user wants to think through something before or during a change.

Core Features & Use Cases

Guided exploration: helps users think deeply, surface questions, and visualize options with ASCII diagrams.
Non-implementation stance: reads files and investigates the codebase, but NEVER writes code or implements features.
Surface risks and unknowns: identifies potential gaps, constraints, and unknowns to surface safe next steps.

Quick Start

Describe your idea and I will help you explore it step by step.

FAQPage Schema

How do I explore codebase ideas before writing any implementation code?▼

Guided codebase exploration helps you map multiple directions and surface risks without writing code. It reads project files to ground discussions in actual constraints, offering questions and insights to clarify requirements.

What is the best way to investigate codebase constraints and unknowns before a change?▼

Investigating codebase constraints involves identifying core uncertainties and mapping exploration directions. A thinking partner reads your files to surface potential gaps, constraints, and safe next steps without making changes.

Can I use this to visualize options and map exploration directions for my project?▼

Yes, mapping exploration directions includes visualizing options with ASCII diagrams. It helps you think deeply through ideas, surface questions, and ground discussions in actual project constraints to stay practical.

Does this exploration tool write code or implement features during the discovery process?▼

No, this codebase discovery tool never writes code or implements features. It maintains a non-implementation stance, strictly reading files and investigating constraints to offer insights, risks, and questions.

How do I start thinking through a problem with a guided exploration partner?▼

To start thinking through a problem, describe your idea and the tool helps you explore it step by step. It identifies core uncertainties and grounds the discussion in your actual codebase and project constraints.
