Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.

IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.

OpenSpec Awareness

At the start, check active changes with:

openspec list --json

Worktree Awareness

Read openspec/config.yaml for isolation settings.

If isolation.mode: worktree: Changes live inside worktrees, not the main checkout. Read references/worktree-discovery.md for the full discovery procedure. Quick summary:

1. openspec list --json — if it returns changes, use them
2. If empty (new session from main checkout): scan <isolation.root>/ directories, verify each with git worktree list
3. Enter the relevant worktree for context: use workdir parameter for commands

If no specific change or isolation.mode is none/missing: work in the current directory.

When a change exists:

1. Read the relevant artifacts for context.
2. Reference them naturally in conversation.
3. If the change has .gitlab.yaml:
   • Mention: This change is tracked on GitLab: parent #<parent_iid>, N group issues
   • Read each tracked issue's current labels or state from GitLab when you need a status summary
   • Offer: Check a specific group's GitLab issue for latest review feedback?
4. Offer to capture insights in proposal, specs, design, or tasks when the user wants.

Guardrails

• Do not implement code in explore mode
• Do not assume .gitlab.yaml contains live status; read GitLab when status matters
• Ground exploration in the real codebase and real change artifacts
