SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gathers background context before spec creation by guiding focused exploration and knowledge capture for spec writers and testers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured exploration workflow that surfaces historical insights, project status, and external references before writing plans.
  • Automated generation of exploration-report.md to guide plan.md and test-plan.md creation.
  • Clear handoff via notifications to spec-writer and spec-tester with a ready-to-use context.

Quick Start

Instruct the spec-explorer to begin background research and produce exploration-report.md, then proceed to plan with the gathered context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather background context before creating a project spec?

To gather background context before spec creation, use a structured exploration workflow to surface historical experiences, analyze project status, and compile external resources into an exploration-report.md file.

What is the best way to collect historical experiences and external resources for spec writing?

The best way to collect historical experiences for spec writing is to run a structured exploration workflow that captures project status and external references, automatically generating an exploration-report.md to guide your plans.

How do I generate an exploration report to guide test-plan creation?

You can generate an exploration report by instructing the explorer to begin background research, which produces exploration-report.md to directly guide both test-plan.md and plan.md creation with ready-to-use context.

Can I use spec exploration to notify spec-writers and testers when context is ready?

Yes, spec exploration provides a clear handoff by sending notifications to spec-writer and spec-tester roles, delivering ready-to-use context compiled from the structured exploration outputs.

Do I need exp-search to run a structured codebase exploration workflow?

Yes, exp-search is required alongside exploration-report.md and structured exploration outputs to keep the spec workflow coherent when gathering background context for spec writers and testers.

When should I not use a pre-spec exploration workflow?

You should avoid pre-spec exploration for simple tasks requiring no historical analysis or external resource compilation, as the structured exploration-report.md generation adds overhead unnecessary for straightforward plan creation.
