openspec-explore

You can explore ideas and clarify requirements by invoking an interactive thinking partner that asks open-ended questions, investigates your codebase, and visualizes concepts using ASCII diagrams without executing code.

The best way to visualize system designs during brainstorming is to generate ASCII diagrams, state-machine sketches, and comparison tables on the fly, ensuring visual representations stay lightweight and text-based.

Yes, you can use OpenSpec CLI compatibility to read artifacts, run commands, and ground your requirement gathering discussions in actual code to surface risks and unknowns.

Yes, this requirements exploration approach suggests creating or updating OpenSpec artifacts like proposals, designs, and specs while staying in an exploratory mode without making implementation decisions.

You should not use an exploratory conversation for design discussions when you need to write code, make final implementation decisions, or execute scripts, as this approach strictly enforces no code execution.
