Does it have access to my existing codebase?

Yes, it can search and read your files to ground the discussion in your actual project's reality, identifying patterns and integration points.

Can I use this to create project specifications?

Yes, it is specifically designed to help you create and update OpenSpec artifacts like proposals, designs, and requirement specs during the discovery phase.

Does OpenSpec Explore write any code?

No, Explore mode is strictly for thinking and investigation; it can read files and create design artifacts but will never modify your application's source code.

How do I start implementing after using Explore mode?

Once your ideas have crystallized, you can transition to implementation by using commands like /opsx:new or /opsx:ff to initiate a formal change workflow.

What is the primary benefit of using Explore mode?

It provides a low-pressure environment for problem reframing and visualization, ensuring that technical decisions are well-vetted before code is ever written.

生产力与工作流

Provides a deep-thinking environment for architectural exploration, requirement clarification, and codebase investigation without altering application code.

OpenSpec Explore is a specialized mode designed to act as a thinking partner for developers during the early stages of a feature or problem investigation. It shifts Claude's stance from implementation to exploration, allowing for deep dives into existing code architecture, the creation of ASCII visualizations, and the formalization of requirements through OpenSpec artifacts like proposals and designs. By strictly prohibiting code writes, it ensures a safe space for brainstorming, comparing technical options, and identifying potential risks before any implementation begins.
