SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Explore helps you quickly locate the exact files and code paths behind a symbol, feature, or behavior when you don’t know where it’s implemented in a large codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contextual codebase search: Finds implementations for “where is X?” and “which file contains Y?” style questions.
  • Intent-driven, read-only exploration: Produces actionable, structured results without modifying the repository.
  • Parallel discovery: Performs multiple searches at once to reduce time-to-answer and improve coverage.

Quick Start

Ask explore to locate the implementation of X in your codebase and request quick, medium, or very thorough completeness based on how confident you need the result to be.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find where a specific feature is implemented in a large codebase?

Codebase search resolves "where is X" questions by applying grep and glob-style matching to find relevant text, structure, and filename patterns. It returns actionable, structured absolute-path results to pinpoint exact implementations.

What is the best way to search for code across large repositories without modifying files?

Read-only repository navigation is the best way to search code across large repositories without modifying files. It uses intent-driven exploration to locate implementations while ensuring the codebase remains completely untouched.

How does parallel code search help with debugging and feature mapping?

Parallel code search helps debugging and feature mapping by executing multiple queries simultaneously to locate relevant text and filename patterns. This reduces time-to-answer and improves coverage when discovering implementation paths.

Can I use grep and glob-style matching to answer architectural questions about my repository?

Yes, you can use grep and glob-style matching to answer architectural questions by searching a codebase for relevant text, structure, and filename patterns. This locates the exact files and code paths behind specific behaviors.

Does code search work for refactoring discovery in large repositories?

Code search works for refactoring discovery in large repositories by locating the exact files and code paths behind specific symbols or behaviors. It provides structured absolute-path results to guide refactoring efforts.
