openspec-explore

Requirements clarification is the process of investigating problems and challenging assumptions to define project scope. This Skill acts as a thinking partner to facilitate exploratory thinking by asking questions and reframing problems before implementing code changes.

To explore ideas and compare options, you can use this Skill to brainstorm approaches, sketch tradeoffs, and visualize concepts. It maps the problem space and identifies patterns to help you evaluate potential solutions before committing to an implementation.

Yes, you can analyze your codebase during problem exploration. This Skill maps architecture, finds integration points, and identifies patterns to provide context awareness while you investigate problems and clarify requirements.

Yes, you need the openspec CLI installed to clarify requirements and explore ideas. This Skill requires the openspec CLI for context awareness and artifact management during the exploratory thinking process.

The best way to investigate a problem space is through adaptive exploration using questioning and visualization. This Skill helps you explore the implications of changes, understand existing code, and compare potential solutions without directly implementing them.

You should avoid using an exploratory thinking partner when you need direct code implementation. This Skill focuses strictly on problem clarification, codebase analysis, and option comparison rather than generating or applying the actual solution code.
