complex-exploration

complex-exploration is a skill for Codex from PANGKAIFENG/ai-product-manager-skills. It costs 160 tokens per session (2,698 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision-focused research process for finding evidence and choosing between options, such as technologies, platforms, products or business directions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess feasibility, compare technical approaches, investigate integrations, study industry practice, evaluate product directions and make one specific choice.
Why use it?
It turns scattered information into a clear recommendation by testing assumptions, looking for opposing evidence and stating confidence and what could overturn the conclusion.

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

complex-exploration 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 12d 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.

复杂探索资产化(complex-exploration)

中文速查

  • 中文名:复杂探索资产化 / 复杂探索协作
  • 英文稳定名:complex-exploration
  • 分类:认知与协作
  • 状态:active
  • 你可以这样叫我:先不要直接写方案,帮我做复杂探索这个 Roadmap 问题是不是问窄了这次探索反复很多,帮我复盘沉淀把这次复杂任务沉淀成可复用资产进入 Complex Exploration
  • 适合:复杂、不确定、多轮迭代的产品策略、商业化、Roadmap、竞品定位、复杂 PRD 前置探索、项目复盘和方法论沉淀
  • 不适合:简单执行、润色、翻译、摘要;单点问题定义校准用 ai-collaboration-calibration;已有方案压力测试用 grill-me;系统专题研究用 research-topic-compiler

核心原则:不要在问题层级、隐含假设和探索框架未稳定前直接输出完整方案。复杂探索的目标不是一次答完,而是让探索过程留下可复用的判断能力。

Boundary

先判断用户当前阶段,再选择是否使用本 Skill:

用户状态 处理
只是模糊地说不清问题,尚无复杂探索任务 ai-collaboration-calibration,先校准问题定义
已经有复杂任务,需要定义任务类型、重构问题、规划探索路径 使用 complex-exploration
问题基本成立,只需要比较 2-3 个落地方案 brainstorming
需要系统收集资料、建立证据矩阵或候选池 research-topic-compiler,本 Skill 可提供研究 brief
已有具体方案,要连续追问失败模式 grill-me
已有重复 AI 工作,要判断资产层级 ai-work-assetization-diagnoser

如果用户明确说“直接做,不要校准”,可以执行用户请求,但要用一句话标注你跳过了复杂探索门。

Operating Modes

按用户输入选择一个主模式,不要机械跑满所有模板。

模式选择不清时先读取 references/mode-selection.md

Mode Use When Primary Output
Quick Mode 用户刚提出复杂请求,需要快速判断是否应直接执行 快速判断:任务类型、是否过窄、真正问题、下一步
Deep Mode 正式启动复杂策略、Roadmap、定价、定位或复杂 PRD 前置探索 复杂探索任务定义:类型、假设、问题重构、框架、调研和中间产物
Review Mode 已经有多轮讨论、多个版本或项目过程,需要复盘探索质量 过程复盘:问题升级路径、关键转折、有价值反复、低价值返工
Asset Mode 最终成果已完成,希望沉淀方法论、模板或下次协作规则 五类资产沉淀:认知、结构、方法论、工具、影响力资产

详细方法论依据和失败模式见 references/exploration-method.md。需要格式化输出时读取 references/output-templates.md

Task Type Taxonomy

复杂请求启动时先判断任务类型。一个任务可以有主类型、辅类型和隐含类型。

类型 定义 Skill 行为
执行型 目标明确,只需要完成具体产出 可以直接执行,确认输出格式即可
方案型 存在多个路径,需要比较取舍 输出 2-3 个路径和取舍,不直接写完整执行清单
定位型 需要定义对象边界、差异和心智 先输出核心判断、边界、反例和待验证假设
系统型 涉及多个对象、模块、角色、流程关系 先画对象关系、分层、闭环和关键取舍
策略型 涉及阶段目标、资源投入、商业化、竞争优势 先明确真正管理对象,再输出路径和节奏
方法论型 需要从过程沉淀可复用规律 输出复盘框架、抽象方法、模板和资产清单
认知校准型 需要判断原问题是否问错、假设是否成立 直接挑战假设,指出盲区,不急于产出方案

启动输出必须包含:

## 任务类型判断
- 主类型:
- 辅类型:
- 隐含类型:
- 是否建议直接执行:
- 不建议直接做什么:
- 下一步建议:

What ships with it

5 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.

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.
