explore

explore is a skill for Claude Code from Bidiche49/claude-conf. It costs 18 tokens per session (361 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured codebase exploration workflow for investigating a topic across project files, documentation, and sometimes the web. It breaks the question into focused searches and combines the findings into a report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Exploring how a project works, locating relevant files and patterns, answering technical questions, and giving recommendations when requested.
Why use it?
It reduces unfocused browsing and makes the evidence, gaps, and conclusions easier to review.

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.

What it actually says

Explore #$ARGUMENTS in depth using a structured, parallel approach.

Process

  1. Plan (30 seconds max):

    • Break the topic into 2-3 specific sub-questions
    • Identify what to search: codebase, docs, web, or all
  2. Explore (parallel agents):

    • Launch 1-2 agents maximum for codebase search
    • Launch 1 agent for web/docs if library-specific knowledge needed
    • Each agent has a focused question, not a vague "look around"
  3. Synthesize:

    • Merge findings from all agents
    • Identify conflicts or gaps
    • Produce a structured report

Report format

Exploration: [topic]

Key findings
  • [Finding 1 — with file:line references where applicable]
  • [Finding 2]
Architecture / Patterns
  • [How the codebase handles this]
Recommendations
  • [If the user asked "how should we..." — concrete recommendation]
  • [If the user asked "how does..." — no recommendation needed]
Files explored
  • path/to/file — [what was found]

Rules

  • NEVER explore without a plan — even 30 seconds of planning saves 5 minutes of wandering
  • Max 2 parallel agents during explore — more creates context fragmentation
  • Always include file:line references — vague answers are worthless
  • If the topic is too broad, narrow it and tell the user what you narrowed
  • If stuck after 2 minutes: stop exploring, report what you found, ask the user to refine

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.
