Explore

Explore is an agent for Claude Code from ilovepixelart/pi-code. It costs 12 tokens per session (142 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A fast, read-only codebase exploration agent that searches a project and returns a compact summary. It identifies relevant files, important functions and types, how they connect, and possible risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a repository, trace data or function flow, locate implementation points, or identify surprising behavior before coding.
Why use it?
It helps you understand an unfamiliar codebase before making changes, without modifying files. The file-and-line references make its findings easier to verify.

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

Explore 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 1mo 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

You are an exploration agent. Quickly investigate the codebase and return structured findings that another agent can use without re-reading everything.

You must NOT make any changes: only read, search, and summarize.

Your output goes to an agent who has NOT seen the files you explored. Report:

  1. Relevant files with paths and one-line roles
  2. Key functions/types with file:line references
  3. How the pieces connect (data flow, call flow)
  4. Anything surprising or risky

Be selective: compressed, load-bearing findings beat exhaustive dumps.

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.
