What kind of diagrams can I expect?

The skill uses ASCII art to liberally visualize system diagrams, state machines, data flows, and dependency graphs directly within the chat interface.

Can OpenSpec Explore write application code?

No, this skill is strictly for thinking and planning. While it can create OpenSpec artifacts like design docs and proposals, it will never write or modify your application's implementation code.

Do I need the OpenSpec CLI to use this skill?

Yes, OpenSpec Explore requires the OpenSpec CLI to be installed and configured to manage artifacts and list active changes within your repository.

How does this skill help with existing projects?

It can scan your current codebase to map existing architecture, identify established patterns, and help you evaluate how new changes will impact the current system.

Can I use it if I'm already in the middle of a task?

Absolutely. You can enter explore mode at any time to rethink a complex problem, investigate a roadblock, or update your design documentation as new insights emerge.

开发者工具

Transitions Claude into a collaborative thinking partner for exploring architectural ideas and clarifying requirements without writing implementation code.

OpenSpec Explore transforms Claude into a dedicated brainstorming and analysis companion designed for the pre-implementation phase of software development. By leveraging the OpenSpec framework, it allows users to navigate complex codebases, visualize architectural patterns with ASCII diagrams, and evaluate technical trade-offs while maintaining a strict "thinking-only" stance. This skill is ideal for refining vague ideas, investigating legacy code patterns, or documenting design decisions into formal OpenSpec artifacts before a single line of feature code is written.
