What it does

11 Explore is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Explore the current project across its tooling, context, and codebase. Use to survey what is installed, see what is available, or find which skill, agent, or rule fits a goal. Not for choosing the next step or running an item; it only points.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `actions/01-survey.md`, `actions/02-drill.md` and `references/ai-mapping.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Survey what is installed
  • See what is available
  • Find which skill
  • Rule fits a goal

Example prompts

  • “/11-explore”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

11 Explore loads about 661 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~661
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Explore

Surveys the current project across three axes so the user sees what is there and can dig into any of them. It maps the project, it never prescribes a next step.

Axes

  • Tooling: the AIDD capabilities installed, the skills, agents, commands, rules, hooks, MCP servers, and plugins. What the user can run.
  • Context: the context layer, the memory bank, the specs and plans, and the AI context files. What the AI knows about the project.
  • Codebase: the project itself, the stack and the high-level structure. What the project is.

Actions

#ActionRoleInput
01surveyScan the three axes and present a compact mapproject root
02drillDescend one axis or all, level by level, match an intent if anya scope or a goal

Detect the project's AI tools first, from the signals in references/ai-mapping.md. Then route by what the user asked: no scope given runs survey for a compact map, a named axis or "all" runs drill straight away. Always propose the axes when the request is open, never assume one. Run each action's ## Test before the next. Before running an action, read its file in actions/, not only the table or assets.

Transversal rules

  • Map, never prescribe. Explore shows what is there across the axes and descends into it on request. It never tells the user the next step, that is the onboard skill's job, at any depth.
  • Detect the tools before either action. A surface a tool does not have is skipped, never an error.
  • Propose, then accept. Offer the axes or all when the request is open, run the user's pick directly when they name one.
  • Descend one level per confirmation. Wait for the user at every level, stop at a leaf or when they are done.
  • List only what is actually installed or present, never invent an item.
  • Never hardcode a tool. Per-tool scan paths and formats live in references/ai-mapping.md.
  • Point, do not run. Return an item's invocation path and stop.

References

  • references/ai-mapping.md: the per-tool signals, scan paths, and formats for the Tooling and Context axes.

Can I use 11 Explore in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ai-driven-dev/framework --skill 11-explore -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/11-explore, .gemini/skills/11-explore, .github/skills/11-explore and .opencode/skills/11-explore in your project.

What does 11 Explore need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: 11 Explore is instructions for the agent only.

Does 11 Explore access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is 11 Explore safe to install?
