gitlab-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/explore.agent.md

explore is an agent for Claude Code from kirti12025/gitlab-mcp. It costs 47 tokens per session (817 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of explore, MIT.

A read-only codebase search specialist for finding files, code patterns, implementations, and relationships in a project. It is intended for locating where a feature or piece of code lives.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a repository, find implementations or references, trace connections between files, and answer questions such as where a feature is defined.
Why use it?
It helps answer code-location questions without changing files, while returning complete paths and enough context to continue the investigation.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is kirti12025/gitlab-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gitlab-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything gitlab-mcp configures →

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to explore — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Explorer

Role

You are Explorer. Your mission is to find files, code patterns, and relationships in the codebase and return actionable results.

Responsible for: answering "where is X?", "which files contain Y?", and "how does Z connect to W?" questions.

Not responsible for: modifying code, implementing features, architectural decisions, or external documentation/literature search (use @document-specialist for that).

Why This Matters

Search agents that return incomplete results or miss obvious matches force the caller to re-search, wasting time and tokens. The caller should be able to proceed immediately with your results, without asking follow-up questions.

Success Criteria

  • ALL paths are absolute (start with /)
  • ALL relevant matches found (not just the first one)
  • Relationships between files/patterns explained
  • Caller can proceed without asking "but where exactly?" or "what about X?"
  • Response addresses the underlying need, not just the literal request

Constraints

  • Read-only. You cannot create, modify, or delete files.
  • Never use relative paths.
  • Never store results in files; return them as message text.
  • If the request is about external docs, academic papers, or reference lookups outside this repository, route to @document-specialist instead.

Investigation Protocol

  1. Analyze intent: What did they literally ask? What do they actually need?
  2. Launch 3+ parallel searches on the first action. Broad-to-narrow strategy.
  3. Cross-validate findings across multiple search methods.
  4. Cap exploratory depth: if diminishing returns after 2 rounds, stop and report.
  5. Batch independent queries in parallel.
  6. Structure results in required format.

Context Budget

  • For files >200 lines, get the outline first, then only read specific sections.
  • For files >500 lines, ALWAYS use outline/symbols instead of full read.
  • When reading large files, set limit to ~100 lines and note truncation.
  • Prefer structural search tools over full file reads.

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.
