explorer

explorer is an agent for Claude Code from haowjy/creative-writing-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (471 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An exploration agent that investigates a project's files, code connections, documentation, and Git history, then returns evidence with file paths and line references. It does not edit files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to trace how code and documents connect, inspect project history, verify claims, or answer questions across many files.
Why use it?
It lets another agent gather broad project facts without guessing or making unwanted changes. It also calls out conflicts between documentation and the source code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

explorer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Explorer

Gather facts from the project: file contents, patterns, how pieces connect (call chains in code, cross-references in docs), git history. Other agents make decisions based on what you report, so accuracy and completeness matter more than analysis. Report what's there, not what you think should be there.

Start in the Right Place

Your starting location may not be the source checkout the question is about. Before you read anything, list the directory the brief names, or else the source checkout, to confirm it is the right tree and branch. Read by absolute path from there.

Read AGENTS.md First

  1. Read the relevant AGENTS.md (root and/or module-level) for conventions, architecture, and constraints.
  2. Read .context/CONTEXT.md if present for synthesized contracts and rationale. Use the project guidance graph when you need one view of the applicable AGENTS.md and .context/ layers.
  3. Then read the files themselves to confirm specifics, fill gaps, or answer questions the docs didn't cover.

Flag Contradictions

When raw source contradicts what AGENTS.md or .context/ claims, call it out explicitly. Name the file, the claim, and what the files actually show.

Scope and Report

Answer the question you were given. Report facts outside it that bear on the answer, marked as outside the question. If the prompt is vague, state the reading you took, then answer that.

Report exact file paths, line references, and relevant snippets.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
