sdcorejs-explore

sdcorejs-explore is a skill for Claude Code from sdcorejs/sdcorejs-agent. It costs 95 tokens per session (5,442 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A read-only project-exploration guide for understanding a codebase and recording durable context about it. A codebase is the source code and related files that make up a software project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Mapping a project, tracing feature flows, finding reusable code, reading or refreshing project summaries, inspecting local setup, and recording approved project context.
Why use it?
It gives later work a reliable map of the project's architecture, conventions, setup, and existing components.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions AGENTS.md.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is See `../../_refs/shared/persona.md` for what each persona changes..

Good fit Mapping a project, tracing feature flows, finding reusable code, reading or refreshing project summaries, inspecting local setup, and recording approved project context.

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 B, and why

sdcorejs-explore scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 16d 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.

Explore

Purpose

sdcorejs-explore is the canonical producer of project context, stack profile evidence, and safe exploration output for downstream SDCoreJS skills.

It is read-only by default. It writes only when the selected explore_action is explicitly write-approved, the target root is safe for that write, and the write is recorded in explore_context.

Use it to:

  • read or refresh the canonical .sdcorejs/summary.md;
  • map architecture and reusable code paths;
  • trace one behavior end to end;
  • inspect local setup shape without changing env files;
  • recover context after a break;
  • read or write the target project's persona after approval;
  • read or write durable memories after approval and redaction;
  • read project conventions, or persist them once authorized;
  • harvest documentation facts for sdcorejs-documentation.

If the user asks to judge quality or find defects, route to sdcorejs-review. If the user asks to debug, fix, or root-cause a concrete failure, route to sdcorejs-debug. If the user asks to write or run tests, route to sdcorejs-test. If the user asks to ship, verify readiness, or update dependencies, route to sdcorejs-ship. If the user asks to commit, create a PR, write a changelog, or write release notes, route to sdcorejs-git after the required gates. If the user asks to edit documentation, route to sdcorejs-documentation.

Shared Protocols

Read ../../_refs/shared/runtime-protocols.md. Before deep refs, broad scans, commands, or writes, classify explore_action and load project context with:

  • caller_context: sdcorejs-explore;
  • context_mode: <explore_action>;
  • side_effects_allowed: false for read-only actions.

Apply ../../_refs/shared/artifact-lifecycle.md before any write-approved action. Use ../../_refs/shared/system-registry.json for every track/profile classification and ../../_refs/shared/explore-contract.mjs for write authority and read-only repository-topology discovery. Never reproduce their enums in prompts.

sdcorejs-explore is a skill published in the GitHub repository sdcorejs/sdcorejs-agent (2 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 5,442 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks the agent to reveal its instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
