# Codebase Exploration Delegates to the Explore agent for fast, read-only investigation of the codebase. ## Standalone Codex Claude frontmatter does not enforce a fork or tool restriction in standalone Codex. Keep this workflow read-only yourself, or use `spawn_agent` with an `explore` agent and a read-only prompt. Gather current state by explicitly running `pwd`, `basename "$PWD"`, `ls package.json Cargo.toml go.mod pyproject.toml`, and `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`; the `!command` lines below are Claude interpolation only. Codex does not receive TLDR from this package. In broad mode use `rg --files`, `rg -n` exact searches, direct import searches, and focused file reads. In upward-zoom mode search the symbol definition and all call sites with `rg -n`, then trace imports and callers one layer up. Never claim a TLDR MCP ran. ## Claude current state - Directory: !`pwd 2>/dev/null` - Project: !`basename "$(pwd)" 2>/dev/null` - Stack: !`ls package.json Cargo.toml go.mod pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null || echo "unknown"` - Git root: !`git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || echo "not a git repo"` ## Two modes — pick by what the user asked ### Broad investigation mode (default) Use when the user is asking "how does X work" / "where is X" / "what handles Y" — finding code without a known starting point. 1. **Start broad** - In Claude use `tldr semantic` or `Glob`; in standalone Codex use the native searches above 2. **Narrow down** - Read specific files to understand impl...
