What it is
An exploration-mode skill. Its description: "Enter explore mode - a thinking partner for exploring ideas, investigating problems, and clarifying requirements. Use when the user wants to think through something before or during a change." (.claude/skills/aif-explore/SKILL.md:3). It declares a stance rather than a pipeline: "## The Stance" (.claude/skills/aif-explore/SKILL.md:37).
How it works
Config load (.claude/skills/aif-explore/SKILL.md:15) and "## Artifact Ownership" (.claude/skills/aif-explore/SKILL.md:29) frame a mode that branches on plan state — "### When no plan exists" (.claude/skills/aif-explore/SKILL.md:146) vs "### When a plan exists" (.claude/skills/aif-explore/SKILL.md:153) — and can persist output: "### Optional: Persist exploration context (paths.research)" (.claude/skills/aif-explore/SKILL.md:186), producing a Research artifact with an "## Active Summary (input for /aif-plan)" section (.claude/skills/aif-explore/SKILL.md:213).
