17

19
-
20
- ## Workflow
21
-
22
- ### Step 1: Identify Target Folder
23
-
24
- Identify which folder's `README.md` needs updating.
25
-
26
- ```bash
27
- # If not provided, list modified folders
28
- git diff main --name-only | xargs -n1 dirname | sort -u
29
- ```
30
-
31
- ### Step 2: Read Existing README
32
-
33
- Check if a `README.md` exists. If not, bootstrap it using the template.
34
-
35
- ```bash
36
- # Check for README
37
- ls {folder_path}/README.md
38
-
39
- # If missing, use bootstrap script
40
- Call MCP `call_tool_docs_manager` { action: "bootstrap", folder: "{folder_path}" }
41
- ```
42
-
43
- ### Step 3: Update Components Table
44
-
45
- If a new component was added, ensure it's in the table.
46
-
47
- | Component | Purpose | Status |
48
- |-----------|---------|--------|
49
- | `NewComponent.tsx` | {Purpose} | `🏗️ Building` |
50
-
51
- ### Step 4: Add Tiered Component Details
52
-
53
- Update the `## Component Details` section with depth based on the component's [Tier](../../docs/templates/component-tier-guide.md).
54
-
55
- - **🔴 Critical**: Full detail (Purpose, Functionality, Tech, Error Handling, Usage).
56
- - **🟡 Supporting**: Brief purpose and key exports.
57
- - **🟢 Generated**: One-line description.
58
-
59
- ### Step 5: Add Changelog Entry
60
-
61
- Document the change, including the "why" and relevant references.
62
-
63
- ```markdown
64
- ### {YYYY-MM-DD}
65
- - {Change description} (Response to: {Link to TODO/Spec/ADR})
66
- ```
67
-
68
- ### Step 6: Verify Links
69
-
70
- Ensure any newly added links to ADRs or other documentation are valid.
71
-
72
- ### Step 7: Integration Audit (Sibling Parity)
73
-
74
- If you created a NEW folder, ensure it is covered by the validation system:
75
- 1. Run `Call MCP `call_tool_docs_manager` { action: "discover" }` to verify discovery.
76
- 2. Run `Call MCP `call_tool_docs_manager` { action: "validate", strict: false }` to verify structure.
77
- 3. If new patterns were established, update `docs/solutions/patterns/critical-patterns.md`.

81
- ## Quality Guidelines
82
-
83
- - ✅ Focus on the **Why**, not just the **What**.
84
- - ✅ Keep the components table updated and sorted.
85
- - ✅ Link to relevant ADRs for architectural decisions.
86
- - ✅ Ensure changelog entries are dated and specific.

- ## Workflow
21
-
22
- ### Step 0: Search & Log
23
-
24
- ```bash
25
- // turbo
26
- Call MCP `call_tool_logger_manager` { action: "logWorkflow", name: "/explore", outcome: "success" }
27
- Call MCP `call_tool_compound_manager` { action: "search", terms: [ "exploration"] }
28
- ```
29
-
30
- ### Step 1: Search Existing Knowledge (MANDATORY)
31
-
32
- > [!CAUTION]
33
- > **BLOCKING STEP.** Search both solutions AND prior explorations.
34
-
35
- ```bash
36
- // turbo
37
- Call MCP `call_tool_compound_manager` { action: "search", terms: [ "{keywords}"] }
38
- ls docs/explorations/*.md | grep "{keyword}"
39
- ```
40
-
41
- ### Step 1.5: Define the Question
42
-
43
- State exactly what we are trying to understand.
44
- *Example: "What is the most robust way to handle multi-session task orchestration in a stateless agentic system?"*
45
-
46
- ### Step 2: Scope & Time-box
47
-
48
- Set boundaries to avoid rabbit holes.
49
- - **Time-box:** How long will we explore? (e.g., 30m, 1h, 1 day)
50
- - **Success Criteria:** What specific answer or evidence do we need?
51
-

53
-
54
- ### Step 3: Internet Research (Recommended)
55
-
56
- > [!TIP]
57
- > **Best Practice.** Verification of industry standards is highly encouraged.
58
-
59
- ```bash
60
- // turbo
61
- search_web("{topic} best practices software engineering")
62
- search_web("{topic} common pitfalls and anti-patterns")
63
- search_web("{topic} design patterns comparison")
64
- ```
65
-
66
- **Summarize industry standards in the exploration artifact.**
67
-
68
- ---
69
-
70
- ### Step 4: Deep Systematic Analysis
71
-
72
- Apply multi-order thinking and holistic analysis.
73
-
74
- **Multi-Order Consequences ("And Then What?"):**
75
- - **1st order:** Immediate impact of the potential change.
76
- - **2nd order:** What depends on those changes?
77
- - **3rd order:** Cascading effects (drift, technical debt).
78
- - **4th order:** Long-term cultural or architectural shifts.
79
-
80
- **Stakeholder Impact Matrix:**
81
- Assess impact on End Users, Developers, Ops/Support, and Downstream Systems.
82
-
83
- ---
84
-
85
- ### Step 5: Document Findings
86
-
87
- Create the exploration file at `docs/explorations/{topic}-{YYYYMMDD}.md`.
88
- Use the template at `docs/explorations/templates/exploration-template.md`.
89
-
90
- ### Step 6: Long-Term Implications Check
91
-
92
- - **6 months/1 year:** How will this age?
93
- - **Reversibility:** Can we undo this? (Type 1 vs Type 2 decisions)
94
- - **Technical Debt:** Does this create or pay down debt?
95
-
96
- ---
97
-
98
- ### Step 7: Decision Gate
99
-
100
- Decide on the next logical action:
101
- 1. **Proceed to /plan:** We have enough understanding to build.
102
- 2. **Proceed to /specs:** This is a major iniciativa.
103
- 3. **Create Todo:** Defer based on findings.
104
- 4. **No Action:** Learning captured, no change needed.
105
- 5. **Escalate:** Needs human stakeholder input.
106
-
107
- ### Phase 5: Completion & Handoff
108
-
109
- #### Step 1: Establish Terminal UI State
110
-
111
- ```javascript
112
- await task_boundary({
113
- TaskName: "[COMPLETED] Exploration: {Topic}",
114
- TaskStatus: "Exploration complete. Offering next steps.",
115
- Mode: "VERIFICATION",
116
- TaskSummary: "Completed deep exploration of {topic}. Findings documented in docs/explorations/{filename}. Decision: {Gate Decision}."
117
- });
118
- ```
119
-
120
- #### Step 2: Mandatory Handoff
121
-
122
- ```bash
123
- ✓ Exploration complete
124
-
125
- Next steps:
126
- 1. /plan - Create plan based on findings (if proceed)
127
- 2. /specs - Create specification (if major initiative)
128
- 3. /triage - File found issues as todos
129
- ```

133
- ## Quality Guidelines
134
-
135
- - ✅ Internet search for industry standards is encouraged.
136
- - ✅ Document "And Then What?" at least to 3rd order.
137
- - ✅ Explicitly state when something is a "Type 1" (irreversible) decision.
138
- - ✅ Link findings back to codebase patterns.

+ # /explore - Research and Deep Thinking
6
+
7
+ Conduct a deep, systematic pre-planning investigation to gather industry best practices, analyze multi-order effects, and understand complex problems before committing to a formal plan.
8
+
9
+ > **Why explore?** A plan built on assumptions is a liability. 30 minutes of deep exploration compounds into architectural excellence and prevents costly rework.
10
+
11
+ ## When To Use
12
+
13
+ - Before any `/plan` for complex features
14
+ - When investigating unfamiliar technologies or patterns
15
+ - For bugs requiring deep root-cause analysis
16
+ - Anytime you think: "I need to understand this better before I decide."
