To clarify requirements and frame problems before development, use a guided thinking partner that surfaces assumptions and constraints through structured exploration. This approach maps ideas and risks using natural-language interaction and ASCII diagrams.

The best way to explore ideas for a new feature is running a collaborative exploration session that acts as a thinking partner. It helps you think through problems step by step to articulate high-level plans and reduce misalignment.

Yes, you can use ASCII diagrams to map risks and options during early design exploration. The thinking partner generates these structured visual prompts alongside natural language to help articulate constraints and shape your ideas.

No, you do not need any external tooling or dependencies to run a problem framing session. The guided thinking process requires only natural-language interaction and ASCII diagrams to explore ideas and clarify requirements.

You should avoid using a thinking partner for requirements discovery when you are ready for implementation. The tool enforces guardrails to explicitly avoid implementation details, focusing strictly on early problem framing and design exploration.
