What it does
H Explore is an agent skill from m0n0x41d/haft. Generate 3-5 genuinely distinct candidate approaches for a current question, with the weakest link of each kept visible. Use when alternatives are needed or one favored approach is prematurely closing the search. This skill is independent: it may work from an inline question, cue, accepted problem, or other current basis. Default to conversational candidates; persist a SolutionPortfolio only on explicit save intent or when current Work supplies a concrete operator-named or agent-inferred receiving use that needs…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Engineering decisions engine that know when they're stale. Frame, compare, decide — with evidence decay and parity enforcement. For Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex and more.
When your agent uses it
- Alternatives are needed
- One favored approach is prematurely closing the search
Example prompts
- “/h-explore”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Agent, mcp__haft__haft_problem, mcp__haft__haft_solution, mcp__haft__haft_note, mcp__haft__haft_query
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Recover the current object, question, constraints, and useful candidate
- Generate 3-5 variants that differ in kind, not degree. Use parallel agents
- For each variant state: title, mechanism or structural move, expected
- Keep unattractive but informative stepping stones when they reveal a new
- Preserve uncertainty. Candidate generation is not recommendation, choice,
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0c63f4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadGrepGlobAgentmcp__haft__haft_problemmcp__haft__haft_solutionmcp__haft__haft_notemcp__haft__haft_query
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
H Explore loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 536 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Agent, mcp__haft__haft_problem, mcp__haft__haft_solution, mcp__haft__haft_no
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 536 words (~1,396 tokens).
“Inspect an exact FPF SourceID or UnitID with haft_query(action="fpf", mode="inspect", identifier="..."); otherwise use mode="concern" with the current exploration question. Retrieval is recall; the full pattern body supplies the conditions and result semantics. A candidate_set is incomplete: select by the current…”

When should I use H Explore?
H Explore fits situations like: alternatives are needed; one favored approach is prematurely closing the search.
How do I install H Explore in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add m0n0x41d/haft --skill h-explore -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (internal/cli/skill/h-explore in m0n0x41d/haft) into .claude/skills/h-explore in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install H Explore in Codex?
Run `npx skills add m0n0x41d/haft --skill h-explore -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (internal/cli/skill/h-explore in m0n0x41d/haft) into .agents/skills/h-explore in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use H 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 m0n0x41d/haft --skill h-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/h-explore, .gemini/skills/h-explore, .github/skills/h-explore and .opencode/skills/h-explore in your project.
What does H Explore need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: H Explore is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Grep, Glob, Agent, mcp__haft__haft_problem, mcp__haft__haft_solution, mcp__haft__haft_note, mcp__haft__haft_query.
Does H 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 H Explore safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does H Explore use?
H Explore has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does H Explore use?
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
