Phase 2: Explore
The Explore phase prevents agents from guessing at impact. Before proposing any changes, the agent maps what already exists.
What happens
Section titled “What happens”- Search for existing code — Find implementations, utilities, and patterns related to the issue
- Find all consumers — Identify every caller, importer, and dependent of the code being changed
- Check for prior art — Look for previous attempts, related PRs, or relevant discussions
- Document findings — Record what was found for the design phase
