SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This mode provides a thinking partner to help explore ideas, investigate problems, and clarify requirements before any implementation, without writing code.

Core Features & Use Cases

Think deeply with visual brainstorming and question-led exploration.
Read context, inspect the codebase, and surface questions or alternatives without committing changes.
Use as a collaborative ideation space to surface requirements and design considerations.

Quick Start

Describe the problem or idea you want to think through, and I will explore concepts, ask clarifying questions, and visualize options.

Frequently Asked Questions about openspec-explore

FAQPage Schema

How do I explore codebase ideas and clarify requirements before writing any code?▼

To explore ideas and clarify requirements before coding, you describe the problem to a thinking partner that reads context, asks clarifying questions, and visualizes options without committing changes.

What is visual brainstorming for problem framing in software design?▼

Visual brainstorming for problem framing is a collaborative ideation method that uses question-led exploration to surface design considerations and compare options before implementation begins.

Can I investigate codebase problems and compare alternatives without committing changes?▼

Yes, you can investigate codebase problems by reading files for context and comparing alternatives safely, as the exploration mode operates flexibly without writing or committing any code.

Do I need an OpenSpec artifact to start exploring and thinking through ideas?▼

You do not need an OpenSpec artifact to start; the tool guides exploration naturally and only offers to create OpenSpec artifacts if you explicitly ask for them during the session.

What is the best way to frame problems and surface design considerations before implementation?▼

The best way to frame problems is using a non-prescriptive thinking partner that investigates your codebase context, highlights requirements, and guides flexible exploration without enforcing a rigid process.

Why should I not use a coding assistant for early-stage requirement clarification and ideation?▼

You should avoid coding assistants for early-stage ideation because they often jump to writing code, whereas a dedicated exploration mode ensures you clarify requirements and frame problems first without committing changes.
