I'm not following 100%. But s/or of specs will comform to the first valid spec
it encounters. It can be used for duck typing, aka, strutural types.
So given you have many maps, each can be a spec. Then you can create a spec
which is one of these shapes of maps. Pass any map to the or spec, and i
I don't see any benefit of using a subset of spec to do this - why not just use
normal Clojure code on sets of keys?

Yeah, that's what I thought. I guess I'm using it in a way that's not
standard practice. Luckily it's not a bottleneck in my case.
Has there been discussion about a "shortable" version of s/keys which just
checks for key existence and doesn't recursively validate the corresponding
values?
I su
Seems pretty slow to dispatch on a linear series of spec validations, but I
don't see any reason it wouldn't work.

The example for multi-spec provided in the spec guide assumes a key that
denotes a "type". (This key is used as the dispatch fn). In my situation,
I'm assuming I don't have control over what maps are generated. In other
words, I explicitly do not want to have to encode types into the input map.
You might want to look at s/multi-spec which lets you create a variable
open spec based on a multimethod, which would in this case be based on key
availability.

I have several maps with different combinations of keys for each map. I
want to process each map but do different work depending on the set of keys
available, basically dispatch on key availability. I thought clojure.spec
might be a good fit for doing the classification step. So for each key, I
