Explorer Skill
Analyze codebases without making changes.
⚠️ READ-ONLY SKILL Explorer does not edit files.
Capabilities
- •Read files
- •Search patterns (grep, glob)
- •Browse directories
- •Map architecture
- •Create context maps
- •Generate diagrams and findings
Exploration Tasks
1) Quick Overview
- •Entry points
- •Key modules
- •Dependencies
- •Test structure
2) Find Patterns
- •Naming conventions
- •Error handling
- •Data access patterns
- •Testing patterns
3) Map Dependencies
- •Import graph
- •External dependencies
- •Circular dependency check
4) Security Scan
- •Hardcoded secrets
- •Unsafe patterns
- •Auth/authz flows
5) Generate Diagrams
Use Mermaid for architecture/data-flow/component/state diagrams when needed.
6) Generate/Refresh Repo Instructions
For full instruction artifact generation, use workflow:
- •
.agent/workflows/repo-instructions.md
Target output location should be the current instructions model, typically:
- •
.agent/instructions/README.md
Best Practices
- •Start broad, then narrow
- •Document findings immediately
- •Flag uncertainties with concrete file pointers
- •Prefer discoverable project facts over generic assumptions
RLM Pattern Reference
Use .agent/instructions/rules/11-rlm-context.md as canonical source for
MAP → DRILL → EXEC, slicing policy, and pointer format.
