Parallelizes codebase exploration and research by launching multiple subagents simultaneously. Use when exploring codebases, researching questions, investigating bugs, gathering context from multiple sources, or any task requiring search across multiple files, patterns, or directories. Triggers on research, exploration, debugging, "why does this happen", "how does X work", or multi-file investigation.

**Parallelize exploration aggressively.** When researching or exploring, launch multiple subagents simultaneously instead of sequential searches. This reduces wall-clock time proportionally to the number of parallel agents.
Parallelize exploration aggressively. When researching or exploring, launch multiple subagents simultaneously instead of sequential searches. This reduces wall-clock time proportionally to the number of parallel agents.
Use the Task tool with subagent_type=Explore. The key is to send multiple Task calls in a single message — this launches them concurrently.
Each subagent gets:
subagent_type: "Explore" for codebase searches, "general-purpose" for web researchdescription: Short label (3-5 words)prompt: Detailed, self-contained search instructionsExample — investigating how auth works:
Send in ONE message:
Task 1: { subagent_type: "Explore", description: "Find auth middleware", prompt: "Search for authentication middleware, auth guards, session validation..." }
Task 2: { subagent_type: "Explore", description: "Find login endpoints", prompt: "Search for login routes, /auth endpoints, credential handling..." }
Task 3: { subagent_type: "Explore", description: "Find auth config", prompt: "Search for JWT config, OAuth settings, auth environment variables..." }
All three run simultaneously. When results return, synthesize findings into a coherent answer.
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Searching for multiple patterns | One subagent per pattern |
| Exploring different directories | One subagent per area |
| Investigating related questions | One subagent per question |
| Checking multiple files (>3) | Parallel reads |
| Web research on multiple topics | One subagent per topic |

|---|---|
| "Let me search for X first, then Y" | Launch both simultaneously |
| "I'll check this file, then that one" | Parallel reads if >3 files |
| "First explore area A, then B" | Parallel subagents per area |
| "Let me see what this returns before..." | Usually can parallelize anyway |
Don't just dump raw results. Synthesize:
npx claudepluginhub oryanmoshe/agent-skills --plugin agent-skillsDecomposes multi-domain investigations into independent sub-questions and runs parallel scout agents for read-only exploration across code, tests, docs.
Orchestrates parallel agents to find all query-relevant files in codebase with orthogonal exploration. Delivers topic overview + file lists with line ranges. Scales thoroughness from quick single-agent to multi-wave thorough searches.
Spawns parallel sub-agents to research codebase areas and synthesizes findings into a document. Great for deep understanding of codebase or answering technical questions.
