# Codebase Exploration

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

## Quick Start

```bash
/explore authentication
```

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Initial Search

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

### Phase 2: Memory Check

```python
mcp__memory__search_nodes(query="$ARGUMENTS")
mcp__memory__search_nodes(query="architecture")
```

### Phase 3: Parallel Deep Exploration

Launch 4 specialized explorers in ONE message:

1. **Code Structure Explorer** - Files, classes, functions
2. **Data Flow Explorer** - Entry points, processing, storage
3. **Backend Architect** - Patterns, integration, dependencies
4. **Frontend Developer** - Components, state, routes

### Phase 4: AI System Exploration (If Applicable)

For AI/ML topics, add exploration of:
- LangGraph workflows
- Prompt templates
- RAG pipeline
- Caching strategies

### Phase 5: Generate Report

```markdown
# Exploration Report: $ARGUMENTS

## Quick Answer

## Common Exploration Queries

- "How does authentication work?"
- "Where are API endpoints defined?"
- "Find all usages of EventBroadcaster"
- "What's the workflow for content analysis?"
