# Caveman Explore

Find where anything lives when your search comes up empty

## What this does

You have opened a codebase you barely know, or searched for something and come up empty, and you just need to know where the relevant code lives. This looks around for you without changing any files and hands back short references to specific places. Skip it when you already know the exact file or symbol, or when earlier steps already pointed you somewhere concrete.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Explore a codebase you have never seen before
- Find where something lives across many files
- Track down what a direct search could not locate

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Caveman Explore

This is for the moments a codebase is unfamiliar: starting cold on new code, hunting for something spread across many files, or getting nothing back from a direct search. It explores read-only, so nothing gets changed along the way, and it answers with compact citations that point at a path and a line.

Its reading and searching stay out of the main conversation, so what follows is the citation rather than the whole dig. Do not reach for it when the issue already names the exact file or symbol, or when a previous turn already produced usable file-and-line evidence.

## Questions

### Is Caveman Explore safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Caveman Explore and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 99a9aa2f5a45, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/caveman-explore.

### How do I install Caveman Explore?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/caveman-explore on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/juliusbrussee/caveman/tree/99a9aa2f5a45097fc3563febea7d0baf64407441/skills/caveman-explore. Install from that link, not the branch.
