FAQPage Schema

How do I map code architecture and refine requirements before writing new code?▼

To map code architecture and refine requirements, you can use an interactive exploration mode to investigate your codebase and clarify problem definitions before implementation. This approach aids in deep thought processes and architecture review.

What is the best way to brainstorm and create change proposals for software architecture?▼

The best way to brainstorm and create change proposals is to use interactive exploration integrated with OpenSpec. This allows you to thoroughly investigate requirements and generate OpenSpec artifacts like proposals and designs directly.

How do I start an interactive session for codebase inspection and idea refinement?▼

To start an interactive session for codebase inspection and idea refinement, you run the command `openspec explore`. This initiates the mode for deep thought exploration and architecture mapping.

Do I need the openspec CLI to use interactive exploration for requirement clarification?▼

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed to use interactive exploration for requirement clarification. The exploration mode requires this dependency to manage change proposals and integrate with OpenSpec artifacts.

Can I generate OpenSpec proposals and designs directly from a codebase investigation session?▼

Yes, you can generate OpenSpec proposals and designs directly during a codebase investigation session. The exploration mode supports creating these artifacts while you inspect and map relevant code architecture.

When should I use interactive exploration instead of directly modifying my codebase?▼

You should use interactive exploration instead of directly modifying code when you need to clarify requirements, map existing architecture, or brainstorm solutions. It is designed for deep thought exploration rather than direct code changes.
