explore

explore is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3. It costs 21 tokens per session (3,038 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only workflow for exploring an existing codebase at different levels of depth. It can focus on a quick overview, a detailed understanding, or the system's architecture and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map project structure, learn how components fit together, and trace architectural dependencies.
Why use it?
It helps you understand unfamiliar code before making changes, without modifying the project.

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 yesterday.

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.

Explore - Internal Codebase Exploration

Meta-skill for exploring an internal codebase at varying depths. READ-ONLY workflow - no code changes.

Usage

/explore <depth> [options]

Question Flow (No Arguments)

If the user types just /explore with no or partial arguments, guide them through this question flow. Use AskUserQuestion for each phase.

Phase 0: Workflow Selection

question: "How would you like to explore?"
header: "Explore"
options:
  - label: "Help me choose (Recommended)"
    description: "I'll ask questions to pick the right exploration depth"
  - label: "Quick - fast overview"
    description: "Chain: tldr tree → tldr structure (~1 min)"
  - label: "Deep - comprehensive analysis"
    description: "Chain: onboard → tldr → research → document (~5 min)"
  - label: "Architecture - layers & dependencies"
    description: "Chain: tldr arch → call graph → layer mapping (~3 min)"

Mapping:

  • "Help me choose" → Continue to Phase 1-4 questions
  • "Quick" → Set depth=quick, skip to Phase 2 (scope)
  • "Deep" → Set depth=deep, skip to Phase 2 (scope)
  • "Architecture" → Set depth=architecture, skip to Phase 2 (scope)

If Answer is Unclear (via "Other"):

question: "I want to understand how deep you want to explore. Did you mean..."
header: "Clarify"
options:
  - label: "Help me choose"
    description: "Not sure - guide me through questions"
  - label: "Quick - fast overview"
    description: "Just want to see what's here"
  - label: "Deep - comprehensive analysis"
    description: "Need thorough understanding"
  - label: "Neither - let me explain differently"
    description: "I'll describe what I need"

Phase 1: Exploration Goal

question: "What are you trying to understand?"
header: "Goal"
options:
  - label: "Get oriented in the codebase"
    description: "Quick overview of structure"
  - label: "Understand how something works"
    description: "Deep dive into specific area"
  - label: "Map the architecture"
    description: "Layers, dependencies, patterns"
  - label: "Find where something is"
    description: "Locate specific code/functionality"

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.
