What it does
Maestro Explore is an agent skill from ReinaMacCredy/maestro. Answer an evidence question without touching production code - research external facts against primary sources, build or iterate a disposable prototype (its own bugfixes included), or baseline current repository behavior before deciding or implementing. Use when the question is answerable by reading, building, or measuring with no user decision required; unsettled decisions belong to maestro-design. Prototypes are throwaway. Also triggers on Vietnamese phrasings such as làm 1 vòng research xem, research xem.
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/prototype-logic.md`, `references/prototype-ui.md` and `references/prototype.md`).
It sits in Mobile, covering Mobile testing and debugging. The repository describes itself as: Local-first coordination for human and agent work: durable work, decisions, dispatches, evidence, and prompt-first methods, powered by TypeScript and Bun. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2412403. 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
Maestro Explore loads about 814 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 132 tokens; SKILL.md has 373 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 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.

<!-- maestro-skill-version: dev -->maestro-explore
Answer an open question with evidence, without touching production code. Read-only toward production paths; exploration never authorizes implementation. Any tier may use it. Apply WORKFLOW.md for tier selection, authority, and durable decision thresholds.
Three modes; pick whichever settles the question:
- research - documented or external facts: read source, docs, or the web; record findings with links so claims stay traceable. Procedure: references/research.md.
- prototype - an environment-specific behavior question that reading
cannot settle: build the smallest throwaway that answers it, outside
production paths. Prototypes are disposable; only a decision-encoding
fragment (a schema, a reducer, a type shape) may be inlined into a locked
decision or the bundle's SPEC.md. Fixing the prototype's own bugs is still
this mode - a fix routes to
maestro-workonly when the target is production code; iterate directly, no re-routing pass per request. When the user approves porting, the port is production work: route it by tier (maestro-bundletier rule); the prototype never merges as-is. "Ship it as-is" waives the rewrite, not the route. A prototype that is deployed or relied on in real work is no longer throwaway: say so, and route its next change by tier. Procedure: references/prototype.md. - baseline - current repository behavior that must be preserved or
changed: capture it as runnable commands with observed output, so
maestro-verifycan compare later. Phrase each behavior the work must preserve as a guard, "the system SHALL CONTINUE TO<existing behavior>", so preserved behavior is a checkable claim, not an assumption.

Where findings land
- A fact is evidence, not automatically a decision. If it supports a durable
choice under the shared workflow, record that choice:
maestro decision draft "<choice>" --rationale "<why, with source link>" --work <id>, thenmaestro decision lock <id>. - Working evidence for an open work item:
maestro work note <id> "<finding + link>"; in a bundle, also the NOTES.md Current State. - A baseline the work must preserve: a VERIFY.md scenario in the bundle, or the work item's acceptance when there is no bundle.
- No work item and no bundle: deliver the findings in the conversation. Open a work item only if the question feeds work that will actually happen; a finding alone never opens a bundle.
maestro search "<topic>" before any research: a past decision or note may
already hold the answer.
