FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a codebase to understand architecture without writing new code?

To explore a codebase without implementation pressure, initiate the `/opsx:explore` command to investigate architecture, integration points, and patterns. This approach clarifies requirements and identifies risk surfaces before committing to changes.

What is codebase exploration for decision support?

Codebase exploration for decision support is the process of investigating code and data to clarify requirements and guide technical decisions. It helps developers and team leads identify risk surfaces and understand intricacies through questioning rather than immediate implementation.

Can I visualize code architecture using ASCII diagrams during exploration?

Yes, you can visualize code architecture using ASCII diagramming during exploration. This feature clarifies complex ideas and conceptualizations, making it easier to understand intricate integration points and patterns within the codebase.

Do I need OpenSpec to investigate code and identify risk surfaces?

Yes, you need the OpenSpec system context to investigate code and identify risk surfaces. This dependency provides the necessary environment to support in-depth analysis, awareness of changes, and proposal integrations during exploration.

What's the best way to identify potential risks and gaps in a codebase?

The best way to identify potential risks and gaps is to adopt a stance of curiosity and questioning during codebase exploration. This method investigates architecture and integration points to surface risk areas without the constraint of immediate implementation.
