How does Investigate differ from the standard Explore agent?

Investigate is a stateless, high-speed tool that prioritizes documentation-driven insights and provides concise reports under 150 lines without saving files to your disk.

Can this skill help with debugging?

Yes, it is highly effective at tracing logic across multiple files and identifying relevant code sections to help you find the source of a bug.

Do I need to have an llmdoc directory for this to work?

While it prioritizes the llmdoc directory for architectural context, it will fall back to source code analysis using Glob and Grep if no documentation is found.

What tools does the Investigate skill use?

It utilizes a suite of tools including Read, Glob, Grep, Bash, WebSearch, and WebFetch to gather information from both local files and the web.

Learning & Documentation

Analyzes project documentation and source code to provide rapid, stateless insights and answers about your codebase.

The Investigate skill streamlines codebase exploration by prioritizing existing project documentation before diving into source code. Designed for developers who need quick answers to questions like 'how does this work' or 'analyze this module,' it follows a rigorous three-phase protocol: Documentation First, Code Investigation, and Concise Reporting. By leveraging a structured approach to internal docs (llmdoc) and source files, it delivers high-level conclusions and relationship mappings directly in the conversation without creating temporary files or cluttering the workspace.
