explore
Codebase exploration and feature analysis - understand integration points, dependencies, and edge cases before implementation
Best use case
explore is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Codebase exploration and feature analysis - understand integration points, dependencies, and edge cases before implementation
Teams using explore should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Initial Exploration Stage Your task is NOT to implement this yet, but to fully understand and prepare. Your responsibilities: - Analyze and understand the existing codebase thoroughly. - Determine exactly how this feature integrates, including dependencies, structure, edge cases (within reason, don't go overboard), and constraints. - Clearly identify anything unclear or ambiguous in my description or the current implementation. - List clearly all questions or ambiguities you need clarified. Remember, your job is not to implement (yet). Just exploring, planning, and then asking me questions to ensure all ambiguities are covered. We will go back and forth until you have no further questions. Do NOT assume any requirements or scope beyond explicitly described details. Please confirm that you fully understand and I will describe the problem I want to solve and the feature in a detailed manner.
