FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify requirements before committing to code changes?▼

Problem analysis is guided by a thinking partner that frames problems, visualizes ideas with ASCII diagrams, and structures notes to reduce ambiguity. It investigates problems and maps options without writing code.

What is the best way to explore ideas and frame problems during early discovery?▼

Exploring ideas during early discovery is best done with a thinking partner that visualizes concepts with ASCII diagrams and structured notes. This reduces ambiguity and aligns goals before committing to design changes.

Does OpenSpec explore mode write or implement any code?▼

OpenSpec explore mode does not implement code. It enforces non-implementation guidance, acting strictly as a thinking partner to map options, surface assumptions, and refine requirements before development begins.

How do I visualize options and reduce ambiguity when analyzing requirements?▼

To reduce ambiguity when analyzing requirements, visualize ideas with ASCII diagrams and structured notes. This maps options clearly and aligns project goals during the problem framing phase.

Can I use explore mode for refining requirements and problem analysis?▼

Yes, you can use explore mode for requirement refinement and problem analysis. It provides on-demand guidance, asking questions and surfacing assumptions to clarify needed changes before implementation.
