SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenSpec exploration mode helps teams think through complex problems by acting as a thinking partner that reads context, asks questions, visualizes ideas, and surfaces multiple directions before any implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Thinking partner for exploring problems, clarifying requirements, and strategizing next steps.
  • Reads context, analyzes codebases, surfaces options, and visualizes with ASCII diagrams.
  • Use when you want to think through an idea before or during a change, without committing to implementation.

Quick Start

Describe your problem and ask me to think aloud to explore possible directions and requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-explore

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify requirements and explore ideas before starting codebase implementation?▼

To clarify requirements before implementation, you can use an AI thinking partner to read context, analyze your codebase, surface options, and visualize ideas with ASCII diagrams to frame the problem accurately.

What is the best way to visualize complex problems and architecture options during exploration?▼

The best way to visualize complex problems during exploration is by generating ASCII diagrams that map out context and directions, allowing you to strategize next steps before committing to any implementation.

Can I use an AI thinking partner to surface open threads and propose OpenSpec artifacts without writing code?▼

Yes, an AI thinking partner can surface open threads and propose OpenSpec artifacts without executing any code, acting purely as a guide for discussions and problem framing before development begins.

How do I analyze a codebase to strategize next steps and guide discussions?▼

You can analyze a codebase by having a thinking partner read your files, ask clarifying questions, and explore multiple directions to help you think through complex problems and strategize effectively.

When should I not use an exploration mode for my software engineering problem?▼

You should not use exploration mode when you are ready to commit to implementation, as it is designed strictly for thinking through ideas, clarifying requirements, and framing problems without executing code.
