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 the codebase, compare options, and surface risks before committing to a change. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Explore Mode Stance: Acts as a curious, non-prescriptive thinking partner that asks questions, challenges assumptions, and visualizes concepts with ASCII diagrams—without writing any implementation code. - OpenSpec Integration: Reads active changes, specs, and project context via the openspec CLI, and offers to capture decisions into proposals, designs, specs, or tasks when insights crystallize. - Codebase Grounding: Investigates existing architecture, integration points, and patterns to keep discussions grounded in reality rather than theory. - Use Case: Before adding real-time collaboration to your app, enter explore mode to map the collaboration spectrum (presence, cursors, CRDTs), compare tradeoffs, and then capture the chosen direction in an OpenSpec change proposal. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to enter explore mode and think through your idea or problem, for example by describing a feature you are considering or a problem you are stuck on.
