FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify software requirements before writing a change proposal?

Requirement clarification is facilitated through a guided exploration mode that structures thinking, identifies patterns, and visualizes potential solutions before change proposal development. The process ensures decisions are thoroughly documented.

Can I explore and analyze a codebase without modifying the actual source code?

Codebase investigation is supported with read-only exploration capabilities, allowing you to analyze system architecture and patterns without modifying the actual source code. This enables safe system analysis.

How do I create OpenSpec artifacts like proposals and design specs?

OpenSpec artifacts creation is supported directly within the exploration workflow, enabling you to generate proposals, designs, and specs while utilizing OpenSpec system awareness to integrate with change management practices.

Does the openspec-explore skill require the OpenSpec CLI to function?

The OpenSpec CLI is a required dependency, ensuring the skill can utilize OpenSpec system awareness to integrate with and enhance existing change management practices during your software development process.

What is the best way to organize thoughts for a complex feature design?

Organizing thoughts for complex feature design is achieved by activating exploration mode, letting ideas flow freely, and utilizing structured thinking tools to document and analyze the entire thought process.

When should I not use this exploration approach for software problem-solving?

This exploration approach is designed for in-depth analysis and should not be used when you need rapid, undocumented changes or when bypassing structured change management practices in your software development workflow.
