agent-exploration-cycle

agent-exploration-cycle is a plugin for Claude Code from richfrem/agent-plugins-skills. Its manifest loads nothing; the 5 skills, 4 agents it bundles cost 884 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A business-discovery and reengineering workflow for capturing requirements, exploring a problem, building prototypes, and preparing work for engineering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a business problem, record requirements and user stories, create an interactive prototype, assess handoff risk, or improve an existing prototype made without a structured process.
Why use it?
It gives discovery work explicit stages and approval checks, reducing the chance that unclear requirements or an unreviewed prototype moves straight into development.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-exploration-cycle 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 2d 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 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.
