explorer is a Claude subagent skill that quickly searches and navigates a codebase to find files, symbols, or patterns without deep analysis.
About
This skill defines a read-only code-explorer subagent for fast discovery in large codebases. It locates relevant files, symbols, and definitions, returns concise summaries with precise file references, and suggests next files to inspect. A developer uses it to quickly find code without deep analysis or edits.
- A read-only code-explorer subagent optimized for fast discovery in large codebases
- Locates files, symbols, and definitions and returns concise summaries with references
- Runs with write and edit tools disabled to stay navigation-only
