You can use a conversational interface to explore ideas and investigate problems, reading files and searching code without implementing features. This deep exploration helps clarify requirements before making changes.

The best way to clarify requirements is to enter an exploration mode that leverages OpenSpec artifacts to naturally guide the process. This provides a thinking partner for delving into problem intricacies.

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed for full functionality when investigating your codebase. The integration with OpenSpec artifacts requires the CLI to naturally guide the exploration process.

Yes, you can read files and search code to investigate the codebase without implementing features. This allows you to focus entirely on deep exploration and understanding the problem space.

Use a conversational thinking partner when you need to think through something in-depth before or during a change. It is ideal for exploring ideas, investigating problems, and clarifying requirements.

OpenSpec exploration mode only provides idea generation and problem exploration without modifying code. It focuses on reading files and investigating the codebase to help you clarify requirements.
