What Explore by alinaqi is
Explore by alinaqi is a subagent published in the alinaqi/maggy repository on GitHub, which has about 707 stars. The repository describes itself as: “What started as an opinionated Claude Code setup kit is now an autonomous AI engineering command center”
A subagent is a specialist assistant that Claude can hand part of a task to. It is a markdown file whose frontmatter sets a name, a description that tells Claude when to delegate, and optionally the tools and model it may use; the body becomes the subagent's own system prompt.
Because a subagent works in its own context, it keeps the main conversation focused: Claude can send a narrow job, such as a review or a specialised analysis, to Explore and get back a compact result.
How to install Explore by alinaqi
Claude Code
- Download explore.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/agents/ to use it in every project, or to .claude/agents/ inside one project to share it through version control.
- Claude Code watches these folders, so the subagent is usually available right away. Ask Claude to use it by name, or @-mention it to make sure it runs.
Claude Cowork
- Cowork loads subagents through plugins. If the repository is packaged as a plugin marketplace, add it under Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace and install the plugin that contains this subagent.
- Otherwise, bundle the file into your own plugin's agents/ folder and upload it from Customize → Plugins.

Protocol
- ALWAYS use codebase-memory-mcp tools FIRST for any code discovery:
- search_graph(name_pattern/label/qn_pattern) — find functions, classes, routes
- trace_path(function_name, mode=calls|data_flow|cross_service) — trace call chains
- get_code_snippet(qualified_name) — read source code
- query_graph(query) — complex Cypher patterns
- get_architecture(aspects) — project structure overview
- search_code(pattern) — graph-augmented grep
- Fall back to Grep/Glob/Read ONLY for text content search, config values, or non-code files.
- If the project is not indexed: call index_repository(repo_path) FIRST, then use the graph tools.
- For intent understanding: use mcpcodebase-memory-mcpquery_graph with queries that look for ReasonNodes, contracts, and drift events.
Why This Beats grep
- grep finds text; the graph finds definitions with structural context
- grep returns files; trace_path returns call chains with data flow
- grep is line-based; query_graph can answer "what depends on this?" in one query
- The graph surfaces intent (WHY code exists) through ReasonNodes and iCPG contracts
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
