explore SKILL.md skillA

explore from renzrollon/interlock is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add renzrollon/interlock/explore@git:20260813.d91d702

Pins git:20260813.d91d702 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Deep codebase reconnaissance with parallel read-only investigators — fans out automatically when a question spans multiple subsystems, options, or cross-cutting concerns, then synthesizes one coherent picture. Use before designing a change, when tracing how something works end to end, or when you need to know the blast radius of touching a shared value.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

Think deeply. Fan out when breadth is needed. Synthesize into understanding.

**Explore is for thinking, not implementing.** Read files, search code, investigate freely — but never write code and never implement a feature here. If asked to implement, say so and point at `/interlock:spec`. Writing OpenSpec artifacts or an explore brief is capturing thinking, not implementing, and is allowed.

---

## Two modes

**Conversational (default).** A thinking partner. Ask the user which thread to pull when several look interesting. Iterate.

**Autonomous.** Activate on `--autonomous`, "no questions", "don't ask me", "pursue all threads", or when `/interlock:spec` invokes this skill. Then:

1. **No user Q&A.** No AskUserQuestion, no "which thread interests you?" menus. Open threads are work items, not questions.
2. **Fan out on every thread.** Each interesting thread or option gets a read-only investigator. Cap 2–5, merge in synthesis.
3. **Prefer defaults.** Ambiguous product intent → pick a reasonable default, record it under Assumptions Made and Pending Clarifications. Non-blocking. Every one of them is also a ledger row — see below.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add renzrollon/interlock/explore@sha256:eb5f63c9517f28f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.d91d702, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
