# Carto
Launch the Explorer web app for the human to browse session history visually.
Resolve `ROOT` from `CARTOGRAPHER_ROOT`, `CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT`, or
`PLUGIN_ROOT`. If none is set, derive the plugin root from this skill's
reported base directory (`../..` from `skills/carto`); use the conventional
checkout only as a legacy fallback.
## Usage
```bash
ROOT="${CARTOGRAPHER_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/Documents/dev/session-cartographer}}}"
cd "$ROOT/explorer" && npm run dev &
sleep 3
open "http://127.0.0.1:2527/"
```
If the user provides a query, open with it pre-filled:
```bash
ROOT="${CARTOGRAPHER_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/Documents/dev/session-cartographer}}}"
cd "$ROOT/explorer" && npm run dev &
sleep 3
open "http://127.0.0.1:2527/?q=<query>"
```
The Explorer is a tool for the human, not the agent. Start it, open the browser, and tell the user it's ready.
+ The UI host serves timeline, search, sessions, and transcripts directly. It does
+ not need a second API process or require stopping Turbo. Verify a normal Explorer
+ endpoint as well as the memory status before reporting that the whole app works.
+
For the working-memory visual or Turbo entry point, start only the UI host:
```bash
cd "$ROOT/explorer" && npm run memory &
sleep 3
open "http://127.0.0.1:2527/memory"
```
- This page remains reachable while Turbo is off. Its explicit start/enable
+ All tabs remain reachable while Turbo is off. The memory page's explicit start/enable
action uses the shared managed controller. A running backend with the memory
API opens directly; an owned older backend offers Refresh Turbo. Do not start
another Explorer API process on Turbo's occupied port for this view.
## Examples
