What problem does it solve?
This Skill acts as an AI thinking partner to help users explore ideas, investigate problems, and clarify requirements before or during a change, without directly implementing code.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deep Thinking: Engages in curious, adaptive, and visual exploration of user-provided topics.
- Codebase Investigation: Maps architecture, finds integration points, and identifies patterns within the codebase.
- Option Comparison: Brainstorms approaches, sketches tradeoffs, and visualizes options using ASCII diagrams.
- Use Case: A user wants to understand the implications of a new feature. This Skill can help them map out potential user flows, identify technical challenges, and compare different implementation strategies by exploring the existing codebase and OpenSpec artifacts.
Quick Start
Use the openspec-explore skill to think through the implications of adding real-time collaboration to the platform.
