kimi:explore

kimi:explore is a command for Claude Code from luanmorenommaciel/kimi-plugin-cc. It costs 32 tokens per session (434 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for exploring a codebase and producing a report about its purpose, health, technologies, and architecture. It can answer a specific question or give a general overview.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate modules, trace implementation details, find related code, or get an architecture summary without changing files.
Why use it?
It reduces the time needed to understand unfamiliar code and locate where a particular feature, such as database connections, is implemented.

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

kimi: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 8d 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

/kimi:explore

Structured codebase analysis: Executive Summary + Health Score + Architecture Deep Dive.

Usage

/kimi:explore how does the auth module work?
/kimi:explore find all database connection code
/kimi:explore --background give me an architecture overview
/kimi:explore                     # generic analysis when no question is given

Process

  1. Load explore prompt template

    Read("plugins/kimi/prompts/explore.md")
    
  2. Dispatch to Kimi

    • The free-text question is the primary input; when no question is given, fall back to a generic codebase analysis.
    • Use the explore role (--role explore).
    Bash("node plugins/kimi/scripts/broker.mjs dispatch \
      --prompt '<question>' \
      --role explore \
      --mode explore \
      [--background]")
    

    Fallback prompt when no question: "Analyze the codebase at $(pwd). Follow the explore prompt template."

  3. Parse and render

    • Parse JSON output for summary, healthScore, techStack, insights, architecture.
    • Render as a markdown report.

Output

## 🎯 Executive Summary
...
### Health Score: 8/10
...
### Tech Stack
...
### Key Insights
...

Notes

  • Runs under the broker's --role explore: the read-only role prompt in plugins/kimi/roles/explore.md is composed into the head of the -p prompt (--agent-file YAMLs no longer exist in Kimi Code 0.x).
  • Read-only enforcement is a prompt-level contract — 0.x cannot exclude tools headlessly.

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.
