openspec-explore

To explore open-ended problems without writing code, you need a thinking partner that guides ideation, surfaces assumptions, and maps constraints. This approach maintains a strict investigation stance to clarify requirements and visualize options early.

The best way to clarify requirements during early discovery is through guided exploration that prompts targeted questions and visual thinking. This method distills user needs, identifies unknowns, and documents insights collaboratively.

Yes, you can use visual thinking to map problem options before implementation. A guided exploration mode helps you investigate ideas, frame problems, and align stakeholders without committing to code execution.

To identify constraints and dependencies when framing a project, engage an open-ended thinking partner. It systematically surfaces hidden assumptions, risks, and success criteria to ensure comprehensive early discovery.

Yes, this exploration mode deliberately restricts code generation. It focuses entirely on collaborative reasoning, requirement distillation, and problem framing to prevent premature implementation during discovery.
