deep-explore SKILL.md skillA
deep-explore from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/deep-explore@git:20260813.fead97dPins git:20260813.fead97d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Multi-wave parallel code exploration orchestrator. Use when: large-scale codebase research, understanding complex cross-domain systems, deep investigation needing multiple perspectives simultaneously. Not for: quick lookup (use code-explore), dual confirmation (use code-investigate), code review (use codex-code-review). Output: unified exploration report with completeness scoring.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Deep Explore Skill
## Trigger
- Keywords: deep explore, large-scale research, multi-agent explore, codebase survey, parallel investigation, comprehensive research, deep dive multiple areas
## When NOT to Use
| Scenario | Alternative |
|----------|------------|
| Quick single-area lookup | `/code-explore` |
| Dual Claude+Codex confirmation | `/code-investigate` |
| Git history tracking | `/git-investigate` |
| Code review | `/codex-review-fast` |

```
## Phase 0: Intent Analysis
1. Parse user's research question
2. Estimate scope: `Grep` for related keywords → count unique files
3. Routing guard: if estimated files <= 25, redirect to `/code-explore`
4. Plan shards: identify 2-3 non-overlapping exploration areas
### Shard Planning Strategy

How to install
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/deep-explore@sha256:5e179211a22e319bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.fead97d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
