squad-explore

Shared context: read ../squad/shared.md for project config & auth, pipeline levels, status transitions, API endpoints, and error handling. Safety principles: read ../squad/principles.md — mandatory, not optional.

/squad-explore [topic] — Explore & Plan

When to use: You have a vague idea or problem but don't know how to implement it. This skill explores first, reports direction, then seeds the squad board with phased tasks. This skill does NOT write code.

Procedure

⓪ Resolve the observation gate ONCE (the gate-seam — see ../squad/shared.md → Abstraction Rubric)
   python3 ../squad/scripts/observe.py gate >/dev/null 2>&1; OBSERVE_OK=$?
   # 0 = emit corrections, non-zero = skip. Cache it; the emit at ④ reuses it (best-effort, || true).
   # Mint one correlation_id for this explore run: CID=$(python3 -c 'import uuid;print(uuid.uuid4())')
