FAQPage Schema

How do I clarify software requirements before implementing code?▼

You can clarify software requirements by using an AI thinking partner to explore the problem space, challenge assumptions, and investigate codebase architecture without writing implementation code.

What is the best way to investigate a codebase for integration points?▼

The best way to investigate a codebase for integration points is to map the architecture and identify patterns using an AI-driven exploration tool that analyzes the problem space deeply.

Can I compare design approaches and visualize tradeoffs for a new feature?▼

Yes, you can compare design approaches by building comparison tables, brainstorming options, sketching tradeoffs, and visualizing potential solutions and risks using ASCII diagrams.

How does exploring ideas with design thinking help during software development?▼

Exploring ideas with design thinking during software development facilitates in-depth analysis through questions and analogies, helping you understand feature implications before committing to changes.

Does this requirements clarification process integrate with OpenSpec artifacts?▼

Yes, the requirements clarification process integrates with the OpenSpec system to capture insights and findings directly into artifacts like proposals and designs.

When should I not use AI for codebase investigation?▼

You should not use AI for codebase investigation when you need direct code implementation, as this exploration process focuses strictly on problem space analysis and option comparison.
