# OpenSpec Explore Skill Use **`/opsx:explore`** to think through ideas, investigate problems, compare options, and clarify requirements — all without creating any artifacts or committing to a structure. When insights crystallize, transition to **openspec-new** or **openspec-ff**. ## When to Use - Requirements are unclear and the user needs to investigate first. - Comparing multiple approaches before deciding on one. - The user wants to explore the codebase for improvement opportunities. - Brainstorming before a formal change proposal. ## Prerequisites - **OpenSpec initialized** in the project (see **openspec-initial**). ## Workflow 1. **Start exploration** - Run `/opsx:explore` or `/opsx:explore [topic]`. - The agent opens an exploratory conversation with no structure required. 2. **Investigate** - Analyze the codebase, compare options, create diagrams, answer questions. - No artifacts are created during exploration — it is purely a thinking exercise. 3. **Transition when ready** - When the user has clarity, suggest `/opsx:new <change-name>` to start a formal change. - Or `/opsx:ff <change-name>` if they want to create all planning artifacts at once. ## Outputs - No artifacts or files are created. The output is the conversation itself — insights, options, recommendations. ## Next Steps - When ready to act: use **openspec-new** to start a change, or **openspec-ff** to fast-forward through planning. ## Troubleshooting - **"Commands not recognized"**: Ensure OpenSpec is initialized (`openspec init`). See **openspec-initial**. ## References - [OpenSpec Commands: /opsx:explore](https://github.com/Fission-AI/OpenSpec/blob/main/docs/commands.md)
