# Explore - Internal Codebase Exploration

Meta-skill for exploring an internal codebase at varying depths. READ-ONLY workflow - no code changes.

## Usage

```
/explore <depth> [options]
```

## Question Flow (No Arguments)

If the user types just `/explore` with no or partial arguments, guide them through this question flow. Use AskUserQuestion for each phase.

### Phase 0: Workflow Selection

```yaml
question: "How would you like to explore?"
header: "Explore"
options:
  - label: "Help me choose (Recommended)"
    description: "I'll ask questions to pick the right exploration depth"
  - label: "Quick - fast overview"
    description: "Chain: tldr tree → tldr structure (~1 min)"
  - label: "Deep - comprehensive analysis"
    description: "Chain: onboard → tldr → research → document (~5 min)"
  - label: "Architecture - layers & dependencies"
    description: "Chain: tldr arch → call graph → layer mapping (~3 min)"
```

**Mapping:**
- "Help me choose" → Continue to Phase 1-4 questions
- "Quick" → Set depth=quick, skip to Phase 2 (scope)
- "Deep" → Set depth=deep, skip to Phase 2 (scope)
- "Architecture" → Set depth=architecture, skip to Phase 2 (scope)

**If Answer is Unclear (via "Other"):**
```yaml
question: "I want to understand how deep you want to explore. Did you mean..."
header: "Clarify"
options:
  - label: "Help me choose"
    description: "Not sure - guide me through questions"
  - label: "Quick - fast overview"
    description: "Just want to see what's here"
  - label: "Deep - comprehensive analysis"
    description: "Need thorough understanding"
  - label: "Neither - let me explain differently"
    description: "I'll describe what I need"
```
