AI Explore

Codebase-only read-only research dispatcher. Thin wrapper around the ai-explore agent for architecture mapping, dependency tracing, pattern identification, and risk surfacing — dispatch for any question spanning >= 1 file, module, or import edge. Trigger for 'explore the codebase', 'where does X live', 'map this module', 'what depends on Y', 'trace this import chain'. Not for external evidence with citations; use /ai-research instead.

File contents

Explore

Read-only codebase research dispatcher: a thin wrapper around the ai-explore agent for architecture mapping, dependency tracing, pattern identification, and risk surfacing. Use it for any question spanning one or more files, modules, or import edges.

Quick start

/ai-explore "where does the install pipeline run hooks?"
/ai-explore "trace the import chain from cli_factory to the durable repository"
/ai-explore "what files reference the legacy ai_providers schema?"

Workflow

Thin wrapper (D-133-09), §10.1 KISS — fewest moving parts. The ai-explore agent (.claude/agents/ai-explore.md) owns file-reading + grep and the structured findings output.

Capture — take the entire argument as the question.
Dispatch — invoke the ai-explore agent with the question.
Report — pass the agent's structured findings through unchanged.

Output Contract

Agent emits Findings / Dependencies / Risks / Recommendations; the wrapper returns them verbatim. Pure read-only — never edits code, never fetches external sources.

Integration

Called by: user directly. Dispatches: ai-explore agent (.claude/agents/ai-explore.md). See also: /ai-research (external evidence), /ai-review (LLM review), /ai-build (code changes).
