# Codebase Exploration

Multi-angle codebase exploration using 3-5 parallel agents.

## Quick Start

```bash
/explore authentication
```

## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Task Management is MANDATORY (CC 2.1.16)

**BEFORE doing ANYTHING else, create tasks to show progress:**

```python
# 1. Create main exploration task IMMEDIATELY
TaskCreate(
  subject="Explore: {topic}",
  description="Deep codebase exploration for {topic}",
  activeForm="Exploring {topic}"
)

# 2. Create subtasks for phases (8-phase process)
TaskCreate(subject="Initial file search", activeForm="Searching files")
TaskCreate(subject="Check knowledge graph", activeForm="Checking memory")
TaskCreate(subject="Launch exploration agents", activeForm="Dispatching explorers")
TaskCreate(subject="Assess code health (0-10)", activeForm="Assessing code health")
TaskCreate(subject="Map dependency hotspots", activeForm="Mapping dependencies")
TaskCreate(subject="Add product perspective", activeForm="Adding product context")
TaskCreate(subject="Generate exploration report", activeForm="Generating report")

# 3. Update status as you progress
TaskUpdate(taskId="2", status="in_progress")  # When starting
TaskUpdate(taskId="2", status="completed")    # When done
```

## Workflow Overview

| Phase | Activities | Output |
|-------|------------|--------|
| **1. Initial Search** | Grep, Glob for matches | File locations |
| **2. Memory Check** | Search knowledge graph | Prior context |
| **3. Deep Exploration** | 4 parallel explorers | Multi-angle analysis |
| **4. Code Health Assessment** | Rate found code 0-10 | Quality scores |
| **5. Dependency Hotspot Map** | Identify coupling | Hotspot visualization |
| **6. Product Perspective** | Business context | Findability suggestions |
| **7. Report Generation** | Compile findings | Actionable report |

### Phase 1: Initial Search

```python
# PARALLEL - Quick searches
Grep(pattern="$ARGUMENTS", output_mode="files_with_matches")
Glob(pattern="**/*$ARGUMENTS*")
```
