FAQPage Schema
How do I explore ideas and clarify requirements for a change proposal in OpenSpec?▼

To explore ideas and clarify requirements for an OpenSpec change proposal, you initialize the system conversationally to investigate the codebase, identify patterns, and map integration points. This interactive process helps solidify your change proposal context.

Does the OpenSpec change proposal process require the OpenSpec CLI?▼

Yes, the OpenSpec change proposal process requires the OpenSpec CLI. The CLI dependency is essential for executing artifact creation and developing the change proposals generated during your conversational exploration sessions.

How do I map codebase architecture and identify integration points before proposing changes?▼

You can map codebase architecture and identify integration points by using the conversational exploration interface. It guides you through existing code patterns and supports visualization with ASCII diagrams to clarify complex architectural scenarios.

What is the best way to compare options and identify risk surfaces when planning code changes?▼

The best way to compare options and identify risk surfaces is using the built-in framework for brainstorming and recommending paths. It evaluates current context to highlight potential risks and unknowns, guiding you to mitigate them effectively.

Can I visualize complex codebase scenarios while developing requirements in OpenSpec?▼

Yes, you can visualize complex codebase scenarios while developing requirements in OpenSpec. The exploration interface supports the use of ASCII diagrams to provide clarity when mapping architecture and understanding integration points.
