SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a thinking partner to help users think deeply, explore ideas, and clarify requirements before making changes, reducing ambiguity and accelerating early discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided exploration: surface multiple directions, questions, and potential risks in a conversation.
  • Codebase grounding: reference code structure and constraints to keep discussions reality-aligned.
  • Visual thinking: generate ASCII diagrams and structured prompts to illuminate dependencies and flows.

Quick Start

Enter explore mode and start a guided ideation session.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-explore

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I explore ideas and clarify requirements before writing code?▼

A thinking partner helps you explore ideas and clarify requirements by surfacing multiple directions, questions, and risks, while referencing your codebase to keep discussions aligned with actual constraints before any implementation begins.

What is the best way to visualize dependencies and flows during early discovery?▼

The best way to visualize dependencies during early discovery is to generate ASCII diagrams and structured prompts. This visual thinking approach illuminates relationships and flows without requiring complex modeling tools.

Can I use a thinking partner to ground ideation sessions in my existing codebase?▼

Yes, you can use a thinking partner to ground ideation sessions in your existing codebase. It references code structure and constraints to keep your requirement elicitation and problem framing aligned with technical realities.

How do I start a guided ideation session for requirement elicitation?▼

To start a guided ideation session for requirement elicitation, enter explore mode to begin a conversation. The thinking partner guides you through problem framing, helping you clarify requirements and generate OpenSpec artifacts when needed.

Does the thinking partner generate implementation code or focus only on exploration?▼

The thinking partner focuses strictly on safe, non-implementation exploration. It helps you clarify requirements and frame problems during early discovery, providing guidance to generate OpenSpec artifacts rather than writing implementation code.
