Use when the user wants to think through ideas, investigate problems, or clarify requirements before or during any SDD path. Triggers: "explore", "think through", "help me figure out", "what should I build", "I'm not sure where to start", "let's brainstorm", "investigate this", "I want to explore".
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
# SDD Explore Thinking partner for spec-driven development. No fixed steps, no mandatory output. Available before or during any SDD path. > `SPECS_ROOT` is resolved by the `sdd` router before this skill runs. > Replace `.specs/` with your project's actual specs root in all paths below. ## Writing Style The conversation stays exploratory, but any artifact the user decides to keep is written in the voice of a professional technical writer. Prefer ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English: short sentences, one instruction per sentence, active voice, and one term per concept. Keep identifiers, commands, paths, and RFC 2119 keywords exact. ## When to Use - Before starting any SDD workflow — explore before speccing - When requirements are unclear and writing a spec would be premature - During change work when a decision blocks progress - When you want to investigate the codebase before deciding what to spec ## When Not to Use - You already know what to build — jump to `sdd-propose` or `sdd-derive` - You have existing specs to convert — use `sdd-translate` ## Invocation Notice - Tell the user when this skill is running: `sdd-explore`. …

How to install
mdr add ahgraber/skills/sdd-explore@sha256:9da8e8a811ffb109The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.209d97b, 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.
