codebase-exploration-loop

A configuration of [loop-controller]. That skill supplies the loop machinery — primitive selection, the full guardrail stack, state externalization. This skill supplies the three things specific to "understand this codebase": the seed-question proof (a default-FAIL question list that only flips on a code citation), the read-only fan-out that maps subsystems in parallel, and the loop-until-dry stop on remaining understanding gaps. Read loop-controller for the guardrails; they're inherited, not repeated here.

Why disable-model-invocation: this loop spends tokens fanning out a wave of subagents per iteration, repeatedly, until your questions are answered. It is user-driven — you want to type /codebase-exploration-loop with your questions, not have Claude silently launch an exploration swarm because you asked a passing question about a file.
