FAQPage Schema

How do I clarify project requirements and brainstorm ideas before writing code?▼

Structured exploration sessions help clarify project requirements and brainstorm ideas by surfacing questions, sketching ASCII diagrams, and evaluating tradeoffs in a non-implementation mode before development begins.

Can I use existing code files to inform a design exploration session?▼

Yes, design exploration can read files and code references during analysis to inform the discussion, allowing you to ground brainstorming and requirements clarification directly in your existing project context.

How does a thinking partner help visualize ideas and surface risks?▼

A thinking partner visualizes ideas using ASCII diagrams and evaluates tradeoffs to surface risks and questions, providing a structured thinking session that guides you through complex design exploration.

Do I need to generate OpenSpec artifacts during requirements clarification?▼

No, generating OpenSpec artifacts like proposals, designs, and specifications is optional and available on request, allowing you to focus purely on design exploration and brainstorming without forced output formats.

What's the best way to start a guided thinking session for design exploration?▼

To start a guided thinking session for design exploration, simply tell the system to enter explore mode, which initiates the structured brainstorming and requirements clarification process.

When should I use structured exploration instead of directly writing specifications?▼

Use structured exploration when problems require open-ended brainstorming and requirements clarification before committing, as it operates in non-implementation mode to evaluate tradeoffs rather than immediately generating code.
