# /ark-think — Shortcut to /ark-explore
**Not a first-class door.** One-release redirect. One bounded decision with 2–3
enforceable options is **`/ark-explore`** (section **One decision**). Do that job now.
Contener · Guiar · Ordenar — this leftover name is not a star.
## When / not when
| Use this leftover name when… | Prefer instead |
|------------------------------|----------------|
| One decision: 2–3 options already bounded | **`/ark-explore`** (one decision) |
| Full map / ranked residual / dual-plan seed | **`/ark-explore`** (recon) |
| Apply the chosen option | **`/ark-autopilot`** |
| Session 0 / false-green | **`/ark-adopt`** |
| One kernel candidate | **`/ark-runtime`** |
| One order-plane candidate | **`/ark-order`** |
## Dual engine (mandatory)
| Engine | Role |
|--------|------|
| **Deterministic** | What the contract and doctor *prove* today (layers, rules, governed%, gaps) |
| **Exploratory** | What *this* decision surface wants — options grounded in files you open |
The CLI is a **sensor**, never the whole job. Claiming done without the exploratory bar for this skill is **incomplete**.
## MCP workspace binding (mandatory)
Before any `ark_*` MCP tool, call `ark_identity` with `project.expectedRoot` set to the exact
workspace root. Continue only when `binding.status === "matched"` and `authoritative === true`;
retain `projectIdentity.projectId`, then pass both `expectedRoot` and `expectedProjectId` under
`project` on every later MCP call. If identity is
