FAQPage Schema

How do I clarify software requirements and explore feature ideas before implementation?▼

Requirement clarification and feature exploration are facilitated by a conversational interface that reads files, searches code, and investigates the codebase to act as a thinking partner. It supports mapping architecture and visualizing concepts using ASCII diagrams.

What is the best way to investigate a codebase to uncover hidden complexity and integration points?▼

Codebase investigation to map architecture and identify integration points is supported through a dedicated exploration mode. This conversational interface searches code and analyzes the system to surface hidden complexity and potential risks.

How do I compare multiple implementation approaches and analyze their tradeoffs?▼

Option comparison and tradeoff analysis are supported by brainstorming features that evaluate multiple approaches within the exploration interface. This helps visualize complex concepts and surface potential unknowns during software development.

Do I need the openspec CLI to use exploration and decision support features?▼

The openspec CLI is required to access exploration and decision support features, as the interface integrates directly with the OpenSpec system for context management and artifact creation during your development workflow.

Can I use this exploration mode to map architecture and identify risks for a new project?▼

Exploration mode can be used to map architecture and identify risks for new projects by providing deep thinking facilitation and risk identification. It leverages the OpenSpec system to manage context and create artifacts during investigation.
