About
OpenSpec Explore is a dedicated conceptual mode for Claude Code designed to facilitate deep thinking and problem-solving during the pre-implementation phase of development. It serves as a collaborative partner that helps developers map out architectures, challenge assumptions, and visualize complex data flows using ASCII diagrams, all while strictly adhering to a no-implementation guardrail. By grounding discussions in the actual codebase through file inspection and search, it enables users to create robust OpenSpec artifacts like design docs and technical specifications before any production code is written.
