SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guided thinking partner for exploring ideas, clarifying requirements, and surfacing multiple paths during early discovery and design discussions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided exploration: prompts clarifying questions, surfaces alternative paths, and helps capture open questions.
  • Codebase grounding: analyzes the current project context to visualize architecture, data flows, and dependencies (without writing code).
  • OpenSpec support: suggests potential OpenSpec artifacts (proposals, designs, specs) when needed.

Quick Start

Start an exploration by describing the problem and the desired outcome, and I will guide the thinking through questions, diagrams, and option exploration.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-explore

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I explore requirements and clarify project scope during early design discussions?▼

Requirement exploration involves mapping possible approaches and asking clarifying questions to frame problems. This skill acts as a thinking partner to guide discovery, surface alternative paths, and capture open questions for your software projects.

What is the best way to visualize architecture and data flows without writing new code?▼

Visualizing architecture without writing code is achieved by analyzing existing repository context to map dependencies. This skill grounds conversations in your codebase and supports visual thinking using ASCII diagrams to represent data flows.

Can I use this for strategy discussions and research tasks, or is it limited to software development?▼

You can use this for strategy discussions and research tasks because it functions as a guided thinking partner. It supports problem framing and design scoping across software projects, research tasks, and strategy discussions to map potential approaches.

How do I surface OpenSpec artifacts like proposals and specs during design exploration?▼

To surface OpenSpec artifacts during design exploration, you can request them directly while discussing your problem. This skill suggests potential OpenSpec proposals, designs, and specs when needed to ground your requirement exploration.

Does this skill generate codebase implementations based on the explored design paths?▼

This skill does not generate codebase implementations; it focuses purely on design exploration. It analyzes project context to visualize architecture, data flows, and dependencies, functioning as a thinking partner rather than a code generator.
