Bounded, read-only codebase exploration. Do not write files or propose implementation — return triaged, structured findings for downstream skills.
Workflow
- Frame — state a concrete exploration question or hypothesis before searching.
- Bounded discovery — find relevant modules, symbols, and entry points. MUST complete
within 3 refinement cycles (search → read → refine). If unanswered after 3 cycles,
return best partial results with explicit
risks_or_unknowns. - Context triage — label findings:
core(must include),related(include if space),peripheral(mention only if risk signal). Drop peripheral from handoff by default. - Map flow — trace control flow, data flow, and cross-file dependencies.
- Extract surface — identify files to modify and expected side effects.
- Handoff — return concise structured output (see below).
Discover project-specific terminology and naming conventions in cycle 1. Use discovered terms in subsequent searches instead of generic names.
