SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enter exploratory thinking with a dedicated partner to help users brainstorm, investigate problems, and clarify requirements before or during changes, reducing ambiguity and rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided exploration: surface questions, surface multiple directions, and visualize ideas with ASCII diagrams.
  • Codebase-aware thinking: read context, map architecture, dependencies, and integration points without writing code.
  • Risk and ambiguity surfacing: identify unknowns, risks, and assumptions to inform decisions and next steps.
  • OpenSpec awareness: reference existing artifacts and guardrails to keep discussions grounded.

Quick Start

Describe the problem space, surface critical questions, and sketch relevant options using ASCII diagrams.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-explore

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

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

To explore ideas and clarify requirements, you can use a thinking partner to surface critical questions, investigate the problem space, and visualize architecture with ASCII diagrams before implementation.

What is the best way to map codebase architecture and dependencies without writing code?▼

Mapping codebase architecture without writing code involves reading context to identify integration points, analyzing constraints, and sketching relationships using ASCII diagrams to guide early-stage planning.

How do I identify risks and assumptions during early-stage product design?▼

Identifying risks and assumptions during product design requires surfacing unknowns through guided exploration, asking targeted questions, and analyzing problem space constraints to inform next steps.

Can I visualize feature ideation and project scoping options using ASCII diagrams?▼

Yes, you can visualize feature ideation and project scoping options using ASCII diagrams to sketch multiple directions, map dependencies, and clarify problem framing during exploration.

Does OpenSpec exploration mode allow making changes to the codebase?▼

OpenSpec exploration mode does not allow codebase changes; it strictly provides non-implementation guidance, reading and analyzing code and architecture unless a formal OpenSpec change is created.
