What kind of artifacts can this skill create?

It can create and update OpenSpec-compliant artifacts including proposals (proposal.md), technical designs (design.md), specifications (spec.md), and task lists (tasks.md).

How do I transition from exploring to implementing?

Once your exploration is complete, you can exit explore mode and use commands like /opsx:new or /opsx:ff to begin the implementation phase.

Can OpenSpec Explore write application code?

No, this skill is strictly for the thinking and planning phase. It prevents code implementation to focus entirely on architecture, requirements, and design.

How does this help with existing codebases?

The skill can read your files and search your code to ground its suggestions in your actual project structure, helping you find integration points and potential risks.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires the OpenSpec CLI to be installed to list active changes and manage specification artifacts correctly.

コラボレーションツール

Engages a specialized thinking mode for exploring architectural ideas, investigating codebases, and clarifying requirements without writing code.

OpenSpec Explore transforms Claude into a strategic thinking partner focused on the discovery phase of software development. It allows developers to investigate complex problems, map out existing codebase architectures, and brainstorm solutions through interactive dialogue and ASCII visualizations. By enforcing a strict 'no-implementation' guardrail, it ensures that technical designs, risks, and requirements are thoroughly understood and captured in OpenSpec artifacts before a single line of production code is written. This skill is ideal for navigating ambiguity, comparing technical trade-offs, and grounding high-level ideas in the reality of your current codebase.
