explore SKILL.md skillA
explore from yonatangross/orchestkit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/explore@v2.6.0Pins v2.6.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Multi-angle codebase exploration spawning 3-5 parallel agents for code structure, data flow, architecture patterns, and health assessment. Generates ASCII visualizations, import graphs, and design pattern detection with cross-session memory storage. Use when exploring a repo, discovering architecture, onboarding to a new codebase, or analyzing design patterns.
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
# Codebase Exploration
Host-neutral workflow. Invoke by skill name (`explore`). Claude Code slash routing, YAML hook loaders, and `.claude/chain` live in `references/claude-code.md`.
Multi-angle codebase exploration using 3-5 parallel agents.
## 🎯 Quick Start
```bash
explore authentication
```
> **Opus 5.5**: Exploration agents use native adaptive thinking for deeper pattern recognition across large codebases.
---
## STEP -0.5: Effort-Aware Agent Scaling (CC 2.1.120+)
Read `$CLAUDE_EFFORT` to scale exploration depth before any other decision.
```python
# CC 2.1.120+ env var; explicit --effort= overrides
EFFORT = os.environ.get("CLAUDE_EFFORT")
for token in "$ARGUMENTS".split():
if token.startswith("--effort="):
EFFORT = token.split("=", 1)[1]
EFFORT = EFFORT or "high" # default
```
| Effort | Agent count | Phases | Time |
|--------|-------------|--------|------|
| `low` | 1 (structure-only) | 1, 2, 8 | ~1 min |
| `medium` | 2 (structure + data flow) | 1, 2, 3 (subset), 8 | ~3 min |
| `high` (default) | 4 (full parallel team) | 1–8 | ~6 min |
| `xhigh` (Opus 5) | 5 (+ uncertainty pass on health scores) | 1–8 + caveats | ~8 min |

How to install
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/explore@sha256:da03cace7b4edcbbThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.6.0, 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.
