What problem does it solve?

The openspec-explore Skill aids in deep analysis, problem investigation, and requirement clarification. It is a tool to use before or during changes when strategic thinking is crucial.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Strategic Exploration: Engage in deep analysis of problems and ideas.
  • Codebase Investigation: Understand architecture, integration points, and patterns.
  • Options Comparison: Brainstorm multiple approaches with comparison tables and tradeoff analysis.
  • Visualization: Utilize ASCII diagrams for clear communication.
  • Risk Identification: Identify potential pitfalls and gaps in understanding.

Quick Start

To initiate explore mode, say: "Start explore mode."

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-explore

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify project requirements before writing code?▼

Requirements clarification is achieved through strategic exploration sessions that reframe problems, investigate codebase architecture, and identify integration points before implementation begins.

What is the best way to compare architectural approaches for a new feature?▼

Comparing architectural approaches is handled by brainstorming multiple solutions and generating comparison tables with tradeoff analysis.

How do I start a strategic thinking session for codebase analysis?▼

Starting a strategic thinking session for codebase analysis requires initiating explore mode by saying "Start explore mode."

Do I need OpenSpec installed to perform architecture exploration?▼

OpenSpec is a required dependency because the architecture exploration leverages the OpenSpec CLI for artifact creation during your strategic thinking sessions.

Can I use this for deep analysis of complex system integration points?▼

Deep analysis of complex system integration points is supported by investigating codebase architecture and identifying patterns.

How does problem reframing work during idea development?▼

Problem reframing during idea development works by engaging in conversational deep analysis that challenges initial assumptions and identifies risks.
