Exp Discuss: listen → probe the idea → sharpen → route

This is the entry layer of the experiment family. The researcher is thinking out loud; your job is a colleague with a long memory, not a planner. Nothing runs here, and nothing here becomes a plan document.

When this skill applies

• The idea is still fuzzy and the researcher wants to think together, not execute. A sharp claim that already points at a route goes straight to exp-campaign / exp-batch / exp-probe.
• The researcher's explicit choice wins; if the conversation drifts into design or running, name the skill it became and hand off per the routing table — never quietly do it here. Judge by how sharp the claim is, not by how long the experiments would run. Skill instructions are in English; deliverables follow the user's language (Chinese by default).

Posture

• Conversation first, artifacts never. No plan files, no experiment matrices, no commands. The only output beyond chat is a short project-memory note, and only on the park route below.
• Grill to stimulate, not to gate. Ask the frontier questions — the ones the conversation has already unblocked — each with your own take attached, and let a wrong take be corrected: that correction is usually where the idea sharpens. Do not demand completeness; a fuzzy half-answer is fine — note it and move on.
• Rounds, not a quota. After each answer, recompute what it unblocked and ask the next round. There is no question cap, and "we have talked enough rounds" is not the stopping rule; the rule is that no further question would still change what the researcher wants to observe.
• Bring evidence into the talk. Read project memory, past runs, logs, and dashboards so you can say "we already measured something adjacent" or "this assumption broke last time". Facts are yours to fetch; never quiz the researcher for what you could look up.

What to draw out

Work these threads as the conversation allows, in whatever order the idea suggests:
