SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Investigate codebase ideas and provide a structured exploration analysis before implementing changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured exploration: guide analysis of a feature or requirement to surface uncertainties and alternatives.
  • Decision-ready output: produce an organized exploration report and an optional exploration.md artifact.
  • Use Case: when planning a sizable feature, request an in-depth codebase investigation to compare approaches and highlight risks.

Quick Start

Prompt the orchestrator to begin an exploration of the specified feature and generate a structured analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions about sdd-explore

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a codebase before implementing new features?▼

Structured codebase exploration investigates requirements and design decisions to surface uncertainties and alternatives before changes. It produces an organized exploration report comparing approaches and highlighting risks.

What is the best way to clarify requirements for a sizable codebase change?▼

Requirements clarification is achieved through guided analysis that explores feature ideas across projects. This process generates an optional exploration.md artifact to document the investigation and design decisions.

Can I generate an exploration artifact for design decisions without writing code first?▼

Yes, you can request an in-depth codebase investigation to produce an organized exploration report and artifact at sdd/{change-name}/explore without writing implementation code first.

How do I start a structured exploration of a specified feature?▼

To start structured exploration, prompt the orchestrator to begin an investigation of the specified feature. The analysis fulfills retrieval and persistence contracts described in sdd-phase-common.md.

Does codebase exploration work for comparing multiple approaches and highlighting risks?▼

Codebase exploration compares approaches and highlights risks by guiding analysis of a feature or requirement. It surfaces uncertainties and alternatives to deliver a decision-ready output for planning.
