Purpose and inputs
Gather architecture and keywords for the requested area, then spawn a small set of varied explorers. This playbook inspects. It does not commit, push, or open a PR. Implementation continues only when the user already asked for it.
Steps
- Inspect the area yourself first: owning packages, README/scripts, and current behavior. Record keywords and the architecture sketch the agents will use.
- Spawn explorers only as needed. Default to 3; the user may raise the count up to 6. Six is a hard maximum even if they request more — split larger investigations into separate bounded runs. Give each a distinct angle; include one out-of-the-box probe.
- Reconcile reports against the tree. Prefer file evidence over agent summaries. If the working tree changed underfoot, re-verify before using a finding.
- If the user asked only to investigate or plan, hand off. If they also asked to implement, follow build after the inspection — do not publish.
Verification
- Findings cite paths that still exist.
- No Git publish happened from this playbook.
- Implementation, if any, was already authorized by the user.
Handoff
Return a short evidence list, contradictions, and the next named playbook (/plan-feature, /build, or stop). For plans, include References, 3–5 assumptions, and deferrals per plan-feature.
