openspec-explore

You can clarify project requirements by entering an explore mode that acts as a conversational thinking partner to investigate the codebase and refine needs. Initiate it by typing 'start explore' to structure and refine requirements before formalization.

Yes, you can use OpenSpec artifacts for early-stage ideation because the explore mode can read and reference these files during conversational problem investigation. This allows you to freely visualize and brainstorm while directly referencing existing specifications.

The best way to brainstorm and investigate a codebase is to use a conversational AI thinking partner that can read files, search code, and facilitate conceptual thinking. This approach enables deep problem investigation and requirement gathering before initiating a change initiative.

Yes, the openspec dependency is required to use this exploration mode, as the tool is specifically tailored to read and reference OpenSpec artifacts during ideation and codebase investigation. You need it to facilitate deep thinking and structure requirements.

Explore mode helps with structuring requirements by providing a conversational interface that reads files, searches code, and acts as a thinking partner. It allows you to freely visualize and brainstorm, assisting in structuring and refining requirements before formalizing them.
