Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-explore

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

FAQPage Schema
How can I brainstorm and explore ideas for my codebase without writing implementation code?▼

You can explore ideas and investigate problems by entering a conversational exploration mode that analyzes your codebase and visualizes solutions without requiring code implementation. This allows you to clarify requirements and identify risks before committing to a specific approach.

What is the best way to compare multiple approaches when investigating a complex software problem?▼

Comparing multiple approaches for a software problem is best handled by using a thinking partner to brainstorm options, surface potential risks, and visualize concepts. This method helps clarify unknowns and supports decision-making without the pressure of immediate implementation.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to analyze my codebase and manage context during problem exploration?▼

Yes, you need the OpenSpec CLI installed to manage context and create artifacts during problem exploration. It provides the necessary infrastructure for the thinking partner interface to read files, search code, and investigate the codebase effectively.

How do I visualize complex concepts and identify project risks early in the design phase?▼

To visualize complex concepts and identify project risks early, you can use ASCII diagrams within a conversational thinking partner interface. This approach helps you surface potential unknowns and clarify requirements before moving into actual development.

Can I use this exploration mode to read files and search code directly within my project?▼

Yes, you can use the exploration mode to read files, search code, and investigate your codebase for insights. It provides a conversational interface that acts as a thinking partner to help you analyze the codebase and clarify requirements.
