Purpose: Answer questions about the codebase by orchestrating parallel exploration agents.

User Question: "${ARGUMENTS}"

Strategy

  1. Analyze: Determine if the question is simple or complex.

    • Simple (targeted query): Launch 1-3 parallel agents.
    • Complex (broad/architectural): Launch >3 parallel agents.
  2. Orchestrate:

    • Break the question into distinct search angles (e.g., "Find definitions", "Check usage", "Search config", "Check tests").
    • Use the Task tool to launch multiple agents in parallel.
    • Set subagent_type to "Explore" for each task (builtin agent).
    • If Explore agent is unavailable, use subagent_type="general-purpose" as fallback.
    • Include the search directory scope in each agent's prompt (e.g., "Search in /path/to/module for...").
    • Pass specific, distinct instructions to each agent.
  3. Synthesize:

    • Review the findings from all agents.
    • Provide a comprehensive answer to the user's question.
    • Reference specific file paths found.

Execution

Perform the analysis and launch the parallel tasks now.
