exploratory-test-charter
Write session-based exploratory testing charters to find what scripted tests miss. Use when asked to plan exploratory testing, write a test charter, design a testing session, or do risk-based exploration of a feature. Produces focused charters — a mission, areas/risks to explore, tactics and oracles, and timeboxed sessions — so exploration is purposeful and accountable, not random clicking.

# Exploratory Test Charter Skill
Exploratory testing finds the bugs scripts don't — but only when it's *chartered*: a clear mission, a defined
area, and a timebox, so it's purposeful and you can report what was covered. This skill writes session-based
charters that point skilled testing at the riskiest areas, with the tactics and oracles to know when something
is wrong.
## Working from a brief
Given "explore the new checkout flow", **write the charters anyway** — infer the risk areas, useful tactics,
and oracles, labelling assumptions. Prioritise by risk. Never hand back a question instead of charters.
