Purpose: Answer questions about the codebase by orchestrating parallel exploration agents.

User Question: "${ARGUMENTS}"

Strategy

Analyze: Determine if the question is simple or complex.

• Simple (targeted query): Launch 1-3 parallel agents.

• Complex (broad/architectural): Launch >3 parallel agents.

Orchestrate:

• Break the question into distinct search angles (e.g., "Find definitions", "Check usage", "Search config", "Check tests").

• Use the Task tool to launch multiple agents in parallel.

• Set subagent_type to "Explore" for each task (builtin agent).

• If Explore agent is unavailable, use subagent_type="general-purpose" as fallback.

• Include the search directory scope in each agent's prompt (e.g., "Search in /path/to/module for...").

• Pass specific, distinct instructions to each agent.

Synthesize:

• Review the findings from all agents.

• Provide a comprehensive answer to the user's question.

• Reference specific file paths found.
