What is ai-research-explore?

A repository command for exploring possible directions in an AI research project before treating them as final results.

It runs the Rigor Explore process, coordinates exploratory code and research runs when needed, and saves an explore_outputs/ results bundle.

It keeps experimental work isolated and clearly marks findings as candidates, reducing the risk of mixing exploration with confirmed research.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00016	$0.00160
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00064
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00032
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00016

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-research-explore scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Read and follow @skills/ai-research-explore/SKILL.md.

Treat $ARGUMENTS as the exploratory brief. If the leading argument clearly identifies a branch, commit, checkpoint, run record, or trained model state, use it as current_research. If current_research is still ambiguous, ask one concise follow-up before continuing.

Keep the work in Rigor Explore:

use isolated branches or worktrees
keep outcomes candidate-only
coordinate exploratory code and run work when needed
write the standard explore_outputs/ bundle

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
