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 existing code, and clarify requirements before or during a change—without writing any implementation code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Explore Mode Stance: Acts as a curious thinking partner that asks questions, challenges assumptions, and surfaces multiple directions rather than following a fixed script. - Codebase Investigation: Reads files, maps architecture, finds integration points, and visualizes systems with ASCII diagrams to ground discussions in reality. - OpenSpec Integration: Detects active changes via the openspec CLI, reads existing proposals and designs, and offers to capture decisions in the right artifacts (specs, design.md, tasks.md). - Use Case: Before adding real-time collaboration to your app, enter explore mode to map the collaboration spectrum, compare CRDT vs. simpler approaches, and crystallize the scope into a change proposal. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to enter explore mode and think through your feature idea or technical problem before creating a change proposal.
