ork-explore SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

ork-explore from yonatangross/orchestkit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/ork-explore@git:20260819.cf231c6

Pins git:20260819.cf231c6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Map an unfamiliar codebase, feature, architecture, data flow, or operational path with file-backed evidence. Use when a request asks how a system works, where behavior lives, what changed, which dependencies matter, or for onboarding before a change. Do not use to implement or fix the code.

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

# Ork Explore

Stay read-only. Start with the task boundary, repository instructions, entry points, and the smallest searches that can prove the execution path. Cite files and symbols for every material claim; distinguish confirmed behavior from inference.

When the path runs through a third-party library or framework, read its current documentation with the context7 MCP server: call `resolve-library-id` to get the library ID, then `query-docs`. Those are the only two tools it exposes. A recalled API detail you could not confirm belongs in the unknowns list, not in the map.

Explore in one context by default. Fan out only for three or more independent questions such as structure, data flow, tests, and deployment. Use a flat fan-out, make each assignment bounded and read-only, and ask for concise evidence rather than proposed fixes. Prefer `ork_explorer` when installed; otherwise use Codex's built-in `explorer`.

Return a compact map: entry points, important components and dependencies, tests/observability, risks or unknowns, and the next smallest investigation. Do not change files or turn the map into an implementation plan unless asked.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/ork-explore@sha256:2ec5100cacf01f91

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.cf231c6, 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.
