Smart Explore

This replaces your usual Read/Grep/Glob workflow with AST-based code navigation. Instead of loading entire files, you search for symbols across directories, outline file structures, then unfold only the functions you need. A typical workflow saves 4-8x tokens compared to reading full files. It's built on tree-sitter parsers and handles JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, and several other languages out of the box. The core insight is simple: get a structural map first, then fetch implementation details on demand. Best for exploring unfamiliar codebases or navigating large files where you only need specific functions. If you need cross-file synthesis or architectural narrative, stick with the explore agent.
