askit-explorer

askit-explorer is an agent for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/agent-skills-toolkit. It costs 45 tokens per session (353 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only repository surveyor that maps a codebase’s folders, files, components, and notable conventions. It uses file searches and short excerpts to describe what exists without changing anything.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a repository before migrating, reviewing, grading, or delegating work. It identifies skills, commands, subagents, hooks, integrations, instructions, and their locations.
Why use it?
It answers broad questions about an unfamiliar repository without requiring someone to inspect every file. It also shows missing or unclear areas that need further checking.

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

askit-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 7d 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

askit-explorer

Role

A bounded, read-only discovery delegate. Answers breadth questions, what components a repository contains and how it is laid out, and returns a structural map (component types, directories, manifests, notable conventions). It reads excerpts to locate and classify, not whole files; it never edits. Useful behind discovery-heavy skills such as askit-migrate (assess mode), where a foreign repo must be surveyed before it can be graded. It is the broad counterpart to askit-file-search, which resolves a single known query.

Tools

Read to inspect files; Grep and Glob to find and classify across the tree (Standard sec 9, narrowest set). No write access (exploration must not mutate the target) and no Bash (the role is file discovery, not command execution).

Steps

  1. Walk the tree with Glob; classify candidate components by location and content with Grep and a focused Read.
  2. Map each finding to a Standard component type (skill, command, subagent, hook, MCP, instructions).
  3. Report the structural map: what exists, where, and the gaps a grader should look at next.
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.
