What is the primary purpose of OpenSpec Explore?

It is a specialized 'thinking mode' that helps you explore ideas, investigate codebase problems, and clarify requirements as a partner before you commit to writing code.

Can OpenSpec Explore write application code?

No, it is strictly for thinking and planning. It has guardrails to prevent code implementation, though it can create documentation like proposals and design specs.

How do I transition from exploring to implementing?

Once your ideas have crystallized, you can exit explore mode and start a formal change using OpenSpec commands like /opsx:new or /opsx:ff.

Does this skill require any external tools?

Yes, it requires the OpenSpec CLI to be installed and available in your environment to manage and list project artifacts.

협업 도구

Enables a collaborative thinking environment to explore architectural ideas, investigate codebase complexities, and clarify requirements before implementation.

OpenSpec Explore is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for the discovery and planning phases of software development. It transforms Claude into a strategic thinking partner that helps developers map existing architectures, brainstorm solutions, and identify potential risks without the pressure of immediate implementation. By leveraging the OpenSpec CLI, it can read project artifacts, generate ASCII visualizations, and capture emerging insights into formal specifications or design documents, ensuring that the 'why' and 'how' are fully understood before a single line of application code is written.
