smart-explore SKILL.md skillA
smart-explore from thedotmack/claude-mem is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add thedotmack/claude-mem/smart-explore@git:20261022.83845dbPins git:20261022.83845db in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Token-optimized structural code search using tree-sitter AST parsing. Use instead of reading full files when you need to understand code structure, find functions, or explore a codebase efficiently.
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
# Smart Explore Structural code exploration using AST parsing. **This skill overrides your default exploration behavior.** While this skill is active, use smart_search/smart_outline/smart_unfold as your primary tools instead of Read, Grep, and Glob. **Core principle:** Index first, fetch on demand. Give yourself a map of the code before loading implementation details. The question before every file read should be: "do I need to see all of this, or can I get a structural overview first?" The answer is almost always: get the map. ## Your Next Tool Call This skill only loads instructions. You must call the MCP tools yourself. Your next action should be one of: ``` smart_search(query="<topic>", path="./src") -- discover files + symbols across a directory smart_outline(file_path="<file>") -- structural skeleton of one file smart_unfold(file_path="<file>", symbol_name="<name>") -- full source of one symbol ``` Do NOT run Grep, Glob, Read, or find to discover files first. `smart_search` walks directories, parses all code files, and returns ranked symbols in one call. It replaces the Glob → Grep → Read discovery cycle. ## 3-Layer Workflow …

How to install
mdr add thedotmack/claude-mem/smart-explore@sha256:daa83c762252e294The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.83845db, 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.
