Enter explore mode for technical work — a thinking partner for {{engine_name}} code, architecture, and implementation decisions before you write any code. Use it to investigate a technical solution, design the architecture of a feature, choose between frameworks or libraries, compare implementation approaches, analyze how existing code or a system works, or deeply root-cause a complex bug without fixing it yet. The ultra mode adds adaptive artifacts (a C4 view, ADRs, a dependency graph) to the…

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

# UniKit Explore — Thinking Partner for {{engine_name}} Projects

Enter explore mode. Think deeply. Visualize freely. Follow the conversation wherever it goes.

**IMPORTANT: Explore mode is for thinking, not implementing.** You may read files, search code, and investigate the codebase, but you must NEVER implement features or modify project code. If the user asks to implement something, remind them to exit explore mode first (e.g., start with `/unikit-plan`).

**User questions.** Right before your first question to the user, not earlier, read `.unikit/system/user-questions.md` once and ask every question as it says, with the question tool of your agent (`AskUserQuestion`). If the file cannot be read, print `WARN [questions] user-questions contract missing — asking with the question tool` and still ask with that tool, the recommended option first.

## Language Awareness — BLOCKING PRE-REQUISITE

**BEFORE producing ANY output**, silently read `.unikit/system/LANGUAGE_RULES.md`
and apply its rules to ALL subsequent output.
If the file is missing or unreadable, fall back to English.
Do not produce any user-facing output until language rules are loaded.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nintendadev/unikit-ai/unikit-explore@sha256:073dbeb5226e1e69

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.4, 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.
