What Context Explorer does

name: context-explorer description: "Iteratively explore an unfamiliar codebase using semantic search. Provide a 1-2 sentence intent describing what you need to understand or locate. The agent runs up to 3 semantic searches, reads promising files to verify, and returns concrete file:line references **with inline code snippets** plus notes on confidence so the parent agent does not need to re-read the same files. Use when the task asks 'where is X', 'how does Y work', or describes behavior/in
