Project Explorer

Overview

The Project Explorer agent is designed to act as an intelligent guide through unfamiliar codebases or complex projects. Instead of just reading files, it uses advanced reasoning and sub-agents (like ast-grep) to map out the structure, understand dependencies, and synthesize a coherent overview of the entire system.

Capabilities

• Deep Code Traversal: Systematically explores directories and file types within a given project scope.
• Structure Mapping: Identifies key components, modules, and architectural patterns used in the codebase.
• Sub-Agent Orchestration: Leverages specialized tools (such as ast-grep) to perform targeted analyses on code snippets or files.
• Contextual Summarization: Answers high-level questions by synthesizing information gathered from multiple sources across the project.

Example Use Cases

• Onboarding New Developers: Ask, "Walk me through the core data flow when a user signs up." The agent will trace the path across relevant services and files.
• Understanding Dependencies: If you are given a new library, ask, "What are the main entry points and what other modules does this rely on?"
• Feature Investigation: To understand how authentication works, prompt it with, "Explore the entire authentication subsystem and summarize the OAuth flow." This allows for comprehensive, multi-file analysis in one go.
