What it does

Agent Exploration is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Coordinate native explorers for explicitly requested multi-area research with scoped written results and an evidence-backed synthesis.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/analysis-template.md`, `assets/explorer-prompt.md` and `references/checklist.md`).

The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

  • “/agent-exploration”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the question and output path from the request or active task. Ask only for genuinely missing scope; creating the requested…
  2. Reuse current grounding. Scout only enough to identify independent questions; no tool-call or source-count quota. Choose as many useful…
  3. Read references/dispatch-rules.md and assets/explorer-prompt.md once when preparing dispatch. Send each explorer its question, source…
  4. Create the output directory, then dispatch independent slices as capacity permits. Prompts need durable copies only for a long/resumable…
  5. Inspect each completed artifact and its material citations. A failed slice does not invalidate successful siblings. Continue or correct…
  6. Write analysis/summary.md with the answer, evidence links, disagreements, remaining gaps, and actionable conclusions. Distinguish…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. 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

Agent Exploration loads about 649 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~649
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 297 words (~649 tokens).

“Use when explicitly requested for research across independent areas with written results. Use the current harness's native explorers and configured model/effort; an explicit user override wins. Do not invoke an external runtime or create an agent registry for this workflow.”
