Think an idea through before planning: read the repo, weigh options, clarify choices; writes no files.

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

# /explore

Start [the change loop](../../../wiki/development/the-change-loop.md): compare options and settle scope before `/plan`. Find related work with `openspec list --json` and `openspec context --json` ([CLI contract](../plan/references/openspec-cli.md#select-one-root)); read their pointers.

**Write nothing**; [`/plan`](../plan/SKILL.md) logs answers. Explore precedes planning except [review-page notes](../plan/SKILL.md#review-notes); use [bounded mode](#when-plan-invokes-explore) under `/plan`.

## Investigate the relevant flow

Read owning docs and source; trace trigger, result, and constraints. For non-code, read the process and authoritative sources. Discover facts; separate observations from inferences. Use proportional, authorized read-only checks; no prototypes or local builds. Name unavailable evidence and a later check.

For consequential choices, compare viable approaches, outcomes, costs; recommend with evidence. Before handoff, check material assumptions and failures against the flow; revise contradictions. Speculative or cheaply changed concerns need no questions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add matthewwong525/wongstack/explore@sha256:583a94c787ca7edc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.0083c06, 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.
