What kind of visualizations does it provide?

It uses ASCII art to create terminal-friendly system diagrams, state machines, data flows, and comparison tables to clarify complex concepts.

When is the best time to use Explore mode?

Use it when you have a vague idea, are stuck on a complex architectural decision, or need to investigate a codebase before committing to a change.

Can OpenSpec Explore write application code for me?

No, this skill is strictly for thinking and planning. While it can update documentation and OpenSpec artifacts, it is programmed to never implement feature code.

How does this integrate with the OpenSpec framework?

It reads existing artifacts like proposal.md and design.md to provide context-aware insights and offers to capture new decisions into those files naturally.

生産性とワークフロー

Facilitates deep architectural thinking and requirement discovery through interactive exploration and visual mapping without modifying application code.

OpenSpec Explore is a specialized thinking mode that transforms Claude into a strategic partner for the discovery and planning phases of development. It prioritizes curiosity over implementation, allowing developers to map codebase architectures, brainstorm technical approaches, and surface hidden complexities through ASCII visualizations. By integrating with the OpenSpec framework, it enables users to refine project requirements, update design artifacts, and validate assumptions in a low-pressure environment before any feature code is written. This skill is ideal for navigating technical uncertainty, reframing complex problems, and ensuring that implementation is grounded in a solid conceptual foundation.

主な機能

01Codebase Grounding: Searches and analyzes the current repository to ensure theoretical discussions are rooted in actual project structure.

02Comparative Analysis: Brainstorms multiple implementation paths and builds detailed tradeoff tables for technical decision-making.

03Requirement Clarification: Proactively identifies unknowns and challenges assumptions through Socratic questioning and reframing.

040 GitHub stars

05Visual Architectural Mapping: Generates detailed ASCII diagrams to illustrate data flows, state machines, and system dependencies.

06OpenSpec Integration: Automatically detects and updates existing proposals, designs, and task lists within the OpenSpec ecosystem.

ユースケース

01Investigating legacy modules to understand current logic flows and identify decoupling opportunities.

02Refining a vague feature idea into a concrete technical specification before starting implementation.

03Comparing infrastructure or library choices based on specific project constraints and requirements.
