Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
<objective> Open-ended Socratic ideation session. Guides the developer through exploring an idea via probing questions, optionally spawns research, then routes outputs to the appropriate GSD artifacts (notes, todos, seeds, research questions, requirements, or new phases).

What does the gsd:explore skill do?
Socratic ideation and idea routing — think through ideas before committing to plans
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill explore --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From davepoon/buildwithclaude, a repository with 3,251 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
