Can Explore identify the blast radius of a code change?

Yes, its system tracing and surface mapping lenses are specifically designed to follow dependency chains and identify both internal and product-facing surfaces that might be affected by a change.

When should I use the Pattern Inspection lens?

Use it when you need to understand the 'grain' of a specific code area, including naming conventions, shared abstractions, and how similar features are implemented to ensure your new code follows existing patterns.

How does it differ from a specification (spec) tool?

Unlike a spec tool, Explore is strictly factual and descriptive; it reports what exists currently rather than designing new behaviors or making architectural recommendations.

What is the main purpose of the Explore skill?

It is designed to build a deep, factual understanding of a codebase area through surface mapping, pattern discovery, and dependency tracing before you start writing code or making changes.

Builds a deep, structured understanding of codebase areas through surface mapping, pattern inspection, and system tracing.

The Explore skill enables Claude to perform comprehensive system analysis before implementation, debugging, or code reviews. It employs three specific lenses: surface mapping to identify product and internal impacts, pattern inspection to discover established conventions and shared abstractions, and system tracing to follow call chains and transitive dependencies. This factual, code-grounded approach helps developers map the 'blast radius' of changes and maintain architectural consistency across the entire repository without making premature or prescriptive judgments.
