FAQPage Schema
How do I clarify requirements and explore ideas before writing code?

To clarify requirements and explore ideas, you need a thinking partner that facilitates deep exploration without forcing a specific path. This skill provides an interactive platform to investigate problems and visualize concepts before implementation.

How do I investigate a codebase to understand existing system design?

Investigating a codebase to understand system design involves reading files and searching code to gather context. This skill allows direct codebase investigation to inform your exploration and requirement clarification process.

Can I create OpenSpec proposals and designs without writing implementation code?

Yes, you can create OpenSpec proposals and designs without writing implementation code. This skill focuses on artifact creation and specification generation, guiding you through requirement clarification rather than direct scripting.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to use this idea exploration tool?

Yes, the OpenSpec CLI is a required dependency. This tool targets OpenSpec CLI integration to facilitate deep exploration and create compatible specifications within your software development workflow.

What is the best way to visualize and think through software development problems?

The best way to visualize and think through software development problems is using an interactive explore mode. This approach guides you through problem investigation and requirement clarification flexibly, without scripting or forcing a path.

When should I not use this tool for system design and specification creation?

You should not use this tool when you need direct code implementation or automated scripting. It is designed strictly for thinking through problems, investigating ideas, and creating specifications, not for writing the actual codebase.
