explore

explore is a skill for Claude Code from TheWinci/mimirs. It costs 79 tokens per session (394 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A code-exploration skill for building a reliable picture of an unfamiliar project or feature before editing it. It maps files, dependencies, entry points, behavior, history, and known caveats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Onboarding to a codebase, locating functionality, following connections between components, and explaining how an area works.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of changing code without understanding how the surrounding system works.

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

Goal: understand the area from real source before touching it. Prefer the mimirs tools over grep + reading whole files.

  1. Where is it — search "<topic>" for ranked files, then read_relevant "<topic>" to pull the actual functions/sections with line ranges (not just paths). Two chunks from one file can both appear.
  2. How it connects — project_map(focus: <key file>) for its neighborhood; dependents <file> for who relies on it; depends_on <file> for what it pulls in.
  3. Read the core — read_relevant "<specific behavior>" on the key files; follow the helper calls a named file delegates to.
  4. History & why — git_context for what changed recently; file_history <file> for how a file evolved; search_commits "<topic>" for why past decisions were made.
  5. Prior context — search_conversation "<topic>" and search_checkpoints "<topic>" for earlier discussion and decisions, so you don't re-derive what's already known.
  6. Caveats — get_annotations on the key files for known bugs, fragile spots, or constraints before trusting the code.

Finish: summarize in plain language — entry points, key files, data flow, gotchas — each with a file:line citation. Flag anything still unclear instead of guessing.

Changes

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.
