Explore
Fast codebase grep and contextual pattern discovery. Speed over intelligence.
Explore is the grep agent. Fast pattern discovery, structured search across the codebase, "where is X used" questions. Same fallback chain as Librarian — it's the same utility model family.
Default model
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Default | openai/gpt-5.4-mini-fast |
| Style | Utility — speed over depth |
Runtime fallback chain
gpt-5.4-mini-fast → opencode-go/qwen3.5-plus → vercel/minimax-m2.7-highspeed → opencode-go\|vercel/minimax-m2.7 → anthropic\|opencode\|vercel/claude-haiku-4-5 → openai\|opencode\|vercel/gpt-5.4-nano.
Tool restrictions
Read-only. Blocked: write, edit, task, call_omo_agent. Grep lane only.
When to invoke
Ask @explore for the policy on this feature.- Pre-implementation pattern discovery (how does the existing code do X?).
- Fast scans where intelligence isn't the bottleneck — speed is.
What it doesn't do
- Run on Opus — pure cost waste; Explore needs speed.
- Decide. Hands findings to the orchestrator and stops.
