What is OpenSpec Explore?

It is a dedicated mode for Claude Code focused on high-level thinking, problem investigation, and requirement clarification rather than code execution.

Can this skill modify my application code?

No, the skill is strictly for exploration and discovery; it includes explicit guardrails to prevent writing or implementing application code during the session.

How does it work with OpenSpec artifacts?

It can read and suggest updates to existing OpenSpec proposals, designs, and specs, helping you capture insights as they emerge during the conversation.

Why does it use ASCII diagrams?

ASCII diagrams provide a fast, text-based way for the AI to visualize complex flows and architectures directly within the terminal interface without external tools.

When should I exit Explore mode?

You should exit and switch to an implementation workflow, such as /opsx:new or /opsx:ff, once your ideas have crystallized and you are ready to start coding.

协作工具

Facilitates deep thinking, architectural exploration, and requirement clarification through a dedicated non-implementation mode.

OpenSpec Explore is a specialized stance for Claude that transforms the AI into a dedicated thinking partner for the early stages of software development. It enables developers to brainstorm architectural decisions, map out codebase complexities, and visualize system flows using ASCII diagrams without the pressure of immediate implementation. By grounding discussions in the actual codebase while maintaining a non-prescriptive approach, it helps surface risks, compare technical trade-offs, and naturally bridge the gap between abstract ideas and formal OpenSpec documentation.
