explore is a command for Claude Code from juanmhidalgo/claude-plugins. It costs 44 tokens per session (563 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for investigating one specific part of a codebase, such as authentication, an API, or a database.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for focused codebase exploration and producing a structured technical summary.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand how a feature works by tracing its entry points, implementation, data flow, dependencies, and tests.

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 23d 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

Codebase Exploration

Deep dive into a specific topic in this codebase.

Topic: $ARGUMENTS

Exploration Strategy

  1. Entry points - Where does this topic get triggered/used?
  2. Core implementation - Main files that implement this functionality
  3. Data flow - How does data move through this feature?
  4. Dependencies - What does this rely on? What relies on it?
  5. Configuration - Any settings or env vars related to this?
  6. Tests - How is this tested? What can tests teach us?

Follow the topic into its callers, config, and tests, not just files whose names match.

Output Format

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.

explore is a command published in the GitHub repository juanmhidalgo/claude-plugins (8 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 563 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
