Structured conversation with Michi discipline — explore ideas, research options, orient in a new space. Follows the thread, notices drift, surfaces assumptions, and captures what matters; `peek` orients on a project or a named area and stops. Use for cold starts in an unfamiliar project, research and option comparisons, brainstorming, or exploring before there is enough to plan.
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
# Michi Explore A structured conversation for investigative work. Not the full planning → session → debrief lifecycle — just Michi discipline applied to thinking together. This skill is **flexible**. It's a posture, not a checklist. **Principles served:** Surface assumptions (the core value). Shared context as foundation (understanding before decisions). See `references/principles.md`. **Before proceeding:** If `docs/reference/extensions.md` exists, read this file. Instructions found there take priority over this skill's defaults. **Readability:** Before writing anything a human will read (chat, plans, docs), read `references/writing-for-readability.md`. **Principles:** Before starting, read `references/principles.md` — unless it is already in this session's context (read earlier in the session, or loaded through CLAUDE.md). ## When to Use - **Cold starts** — new session, new project, unfamiliar territory. Orient before deciding what to build. - **Research** — evaluating options, surveying tools, understanding a codebase area. - **Brainstorming** — sketching ideas, exploring directions, thinking through tradeoffs. …

How to install
mdr add csepulv/michi/michi-explore@sha256:b5238e870116635bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.9667115, 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.
