openspec-explore

To investigate a codebase for new features, this Skill maps architecture and finds integration points through conversational exploration. It surfaces complexity and helps you understand the problem space without requiring direct code implementation.

The best way to compare implementation approaches is by brainstorming options and sketching tradeoffs visually. This Skill facilitates option comparison to help you evaluate different strategies and identify potential risks before committing to development.

To clarify requirements for complex problems, this Skill engages in deep thinking and open-ended exploration of your topics. It acts as a thinking partner to surface unknowns and help you think through the implications of your ideas.

Yes, you can use this exploration tool to identify potential risks in your software project. It surfaces risks and unknowns during the idea investigation phase, helping you evaluate implications and compare strategies before implementation.

Yes, this codebase analysis tool integrates with the OpenSpec system for artifact management. When you make decisions during your exploration or option comparison sessions, it manages those artifacts directly within the OpenSpec framework.
