sb-explore — sandboxed iteration (Build mode: Explore)

The component is new or being redesigned. It lives outside src/components/ so production code can't depend on it. Load references/labs-workflow.md before scaffolding. If the user pasted a Figma URL, ALSO load references/figma-to-storybook.md. Do NOT load composition-patterns.md (that's Compare → sb-wrappers).

Naming: Explore is the canonical term used throughout this skill (titles, disk paths, tags). references/labs-workflow.md predates the rename and says Labs / src/stories/labs/ — read it as the same track (Explore = Labs). Author with Explore; treat Labs only as a legacy alias you may meet in an existing repo.

Before scaffolding (ask yourself)

• Iterating on a shipping component, or net-new? Determines Path A vs Path B at Ship time.
• Figma URL pasted? If yes — set parameters.design = { type: 'figma', url } immediately and iterate against the frame (see figma-to-storybook.md).
• API stable enough to graduate? See the 4 criteria in labs-workflow.md. If not — stay in Explore.
