Exploration Skill

Exploration Protocol

Phase 1: Initial Reconnaissance

# List root files
ls -la

# Find config files
find . -maxdepth 2 -name "package.json" -o -name "*.config.*" -o -name "pyproject.toml" -o -name "go.mod" -o -name "Cargo.toml" 2>/dev/null

# Check for common entry points
ls -la src/ app/ lib/ cmd/ 2>/dev/null

Phase 2: Structure Mapping

# Tree view (excluding common noise)
tree -L 3 -I 'node_modules|dist|build|.git|__pycache__|.next|target|vendor' 2>/dev/null || find . -type d -maxdepth 3 | head -50

# Identify main directories
ls -la src/ lib/ app/ internal/ pkg/ 2>/dev/null

Phase 3: Entry Points Detection

# JavaScript/TypeScript
grep -rn "main\|index\|app.listen\|createServer\|export default" --include="*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}" | head -20

# Python
grep -rn "if __name__\|main()\|app.run\|uvicorn" --include="*.py" | head -20

# Go
grep -rn "func main\|http.ListenAndServe" --include="*.go" | head -20

# Rust
grep -rn "fn main" --include="*.rs" | head -10

Phase 4: Dependency Analysis

# Node.js
cat package.json 2>/dev/null | head -50

# Python
cat pyproject.toml requirements.txt setup.py 2>/dev/null | head -50

# Go
cat go.mod 2>/dev/null

# Rust
cat Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null | head -50

# PHP
cat composer.json 2>/dev/null | head -50

Phase 5: Pattern Detection

Search for architectural patterns:

# MVC patterns
ls -la controllers/ models/ views/ routes/ 2>/dev/null

# Clean/Hexagonal Architecture
ls -la domain/ application/ infrastructure/ interfaces/ adapters/ ports/ 2>/dev/null

# Feature-based
ls -la features/ modules/ 2>/dev/null

# Next.js App Router
ls -la app/ pages/ components/ 2>/dev/null

Code Organization Assessment

Check Interface Separation

# TypeScript/JavaScript
ls -la src/interfaces/ src/types/ types/ 2>/dev/null

# Check for interfaces in components (violation)
grep -r "interface.*Props\|type.*Props" --include="*.tsx" src/components/ 2>/dev/null | head -10

Check Business Logic Location

# Hooks for business logic
ls -la src/hooks/ hooks/ 2>/dev/null

# Check for logic in components (violation)
grep -rn "useState\|useEffect\|async" --include="*.tsx" src/components/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l

Check State Management

# Store files
ls -la src/stores/ stores/ src/store/ 2>/dev/null

# Store usage
grep -r "useStore\|useSelector\|create(" --include="*.{ts,tsx}" src/ 2>/dev/null | head -10
