Topic Resolution
Determine what to explore:
- •If
$ARGUMENTSprovided → Use$ARGUMENTSas the topic - •If no arguments, check conversation context → If we were just discussing a subject, explore that
- •If no obvious subject in conversation → Ask what to explore
Set main_instructions to the resolved topic.
Main Workflow
Scope: Codebase-only. Learn from internal sources, ask about the project, compare ideas within the project.
Use do:researcher in explore mode with main_instructions:
- •Understand: What/where/how is being asked?
- •Search: Grep/Glob to locate files quickly
- •Read: Examine key files
- •Answer: Respond concisely with
file:linereferences
Constraints:
- •Single-pass search for simple questions
- •Multi-pass allowed for "compare" or "how does X relate to Y" questions
- •Target: 30 seconds - 5 minutes depending on complexity
Output
Simple (1-3 files): Answer inline with references Complex (4+ files): EXPLORE-*.md with summary inline
Redirects
- •Needs external research → "Use
/do:external-research" - •Needs correctness/status check → "Use
/do:plan status"
