explore

explore is a command for coding agents from ReviewToolkits/cext-review-toolkit. It costs 87 tokens per session (4,024 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for a broad review of a CPython C extension, which is native code that adds compiled functionality to Python. It runs focused checks for areas such as memory references, errors, null values, and thread safety.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze an entire C extension, a directory, or a file, with checks selected by topic.
Why use it?
It brings several common sources of crashes, leaks, and compatibility problems into one extension review.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add commands/reviewtoolkits/cext-review-toolkit/explore
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ReviewToolkits/cext-review-toolkit

Or install cext-review-toolkit, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 4 commands, 14 agents.

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 4d 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.

Comprehensive C Extension Analysis

Run a comprehensive analysis of a CPython C extension using multiple specialized agents, each focusing on a different aspect of extension correctness. Extension discovery runs first to understand the project layout.

Arguments: "$ARGUMENTS"

Plugin root: <plugin_root> refers to the directory containing this command file's parent -- i.e., the plugins/cext-review-toolkit/ directory. Resolve it relative to this file's location.

Argument Parsing

Parse arguments into three categories:

Scope (path or glob):

  • . or omitted → entire project (default)
  • src/ → specific directory tree
  • src/myext.c → specific file

Aspects (which agents to run):

  • refcounts → refcount-auditor
  • errors → error-path-analyzer
  • null-safety → null-safety-scanner
  • gil → gil-discipline-checker
  • module-state → module-state-checker
  • type-slots → type-slot-checker
  • abi → stable-abi-checker
  • compat → version-compat-scanner
  • pyerr-clear → pyerr-clear-auditor
  • resources → resource-lifecycle-checker
  • parity → parity-checker
  • complexity → c-complexity-analyzer
  • history → git-history-analyzer
  • external-tools → run external tools only (clang-tidy, cppcheck)
  • all → all agents (default)

Options:

  • deep → full detail, no output truncation
  • summary → summary tier only (faster)
  • parallel → run agents concurrently where possible
  • --max-parallel N → cap concurrent agents per group (default: 2)
  • --runs N → run agents N times (default: 1). Run 2+ are independent naive passes. Findings are deduplicated across runs. If run 2 finds 0 new findings, report "high confidence — converged on first pass."
  • --informed-reruns → when used with --runs 3, run 3 agents receive a summary of runs 1-2 findings with the instruction: "These bugs were already found. Look at ADJACENT code, unexplored error paths, and patterns similar to these confirmed bugs that the prior runs might have missed." This targets the informed-rerun technique that found 33% more bugs on simplejson.

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 ReviewToolkits/cext-review-toolkit (28 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 4,024 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
