explore-run

Use this as the Rigor Improve / Rigor Explore run leaf skill. The installed slug remains explore-run for compatibility.

Use the shared operating principles in ../../references/agent-operating-principles.md; this skill should guide candidate run planning while preserving model judgment about the active repo.

When to apply

• When the researcher explicitly authorizes exploratory runs.
• When the task is a small-subset validation, short-cycle training probe, batch sweep, idle-GPU search, or quick transfer-learning trial.
• When the output should rank candidate runs rather than certify trusted success.
