# Explore Codebase Skill Pattern for exploring codebases efficiently with parallel subagents. ## When to Load This Skill - You need to understand parts of the codebase - You're gathering context before making decisions - You need to find patterns, conventions, or existing implementations ## Exploration Strategy ### For Quick Searches (Do Yourself) ``` Glob("**/*{keyword}*") Grep(pattern="functionName", type="ts") ``` Use when looking for a specific thing. ### For Broad Understanding (Spawn Explorers) Spawn parallel explorer subagents: ``` Task( subagent_type: "explorer", # Custom dotagent agent (lowercase) model: "haiku", prompt: | Query: {specific question} Hints: {where to look} Scope: {limit if needed} Return structured YAML: - findings (location, relevance, summary) - patterns_observed - related_areas - gaps ) ``` Spawn multiple for different areas simultaneously. **Note:** Use `"explorer"` (lowercase) for the custom dotagent agent defined in `@.claude/agents/explorer.md`. The built-in `"Explore"` (capitalized) is a different Claude Code agent with simpler behavior. ### Synthesize Results Combine explorer outputs into coherent understanding: - Common patterns across areas - Integration points - Constraints discovered - Gaps to note ## Output Format After exploration, summarize as: ```yaml codebase_context: architecture_summary: string existing_patterns: [string] integration_points: [string] constraints: [string]
