explore-code

explore-code is a skill for Codex from lllllllama/RigorPilot-Skills. It costs 112 tokens per session (525 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled coding task for exploratory changes in deep-learning research repositories, which contain model and training code. It is intended for candidate implementations kept separate from the trusted baseline.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a researcher has explicitly approved isolated experimental code changes, such as combining modules or testing a model adaptation.
Why use it?
It provides a bounded way to test ideas such as moving a module, adapting a model backbone, adding LoRA or adapter layers, or replacing a model head without treating the result as verified research code.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

explore-code 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/plan_code_changes.py, scripts/write_outputs.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

explore-code

Use this as the Rigor Improve implementation leaf skill. The installed slug remains explore-code for compatibility.

Use the shared operating principles in ../ai-research-reproduction/references/agent-operating-principles.md; this skill should guide bounded candidate code work without over-prescribing implementation details.

When to apply

  • When the researcher explicitly authorizes exploratory code changes on an isolated branch or worktree.
  • When the task is source-anchored module transplant, backbone adaptation, LoRA or adapter insertion, or low-risk module combination.
  • When summary-level recording is sufficient and the result is a candidate, not a trusted conclusion.

When not to apply

  • When the request is for trusted baseline work, conservative debugging, or normal training execution.
  • When the user did not explicitly authorize exploratory modifications.
  • When the task is a broad refactor or a from-scratch idea implementation.

Clear boundaries

  • This skill owns exploratory code modifications only.
  • It must keep work isolated from the trusted baseline.
  • Use ai-research-explore instead when the task spans both current_research coordination and exploratory runs.
  • It may hand off execution to minimal-run-and-audit or run-train.
  • It should favor source-anchored copying and minimal adaptation over freeform rewrites.
  • It should record why a candidate change is meaningful, how to roll it back, and why it remains a candidate rather than a verified contribution.

Output expectations

  • explore_outputs/CHANGESET.md
  • explore_outputs/SCIENTIFIC_CHANGELOG.md
  • explore_outputs/COMPARABILITY_REPORT.md
  • explore_outputs/TOP_RUNS.md
  • explore_outputs/status.json

Notes

Use references/explore-policy.md, ../ai-research-reproduction/references/research-rigor-principles.md, scripts/plan_code_changes.py, and scripts/write_outputs.py.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

explore-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository lllllllama/RigorPilot-Skills (484 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 525 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
