Code exploration
Navigating large codebases and scoping agent searches.
15 questions in the full mock. Strong-domain archetype: Codebase Navigator. This is an unofficial study aid by CyberSkill, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.
What it covers
Code-exploration questions are about pointing an agent at a large codebase and getting useful results. You scope searches, decide how much of the tree to load, and plan how the agent navigates unfamiliar code without drowning in it. Expect scenarios on search strategy, context budgeting, and finding the right files efficiently.
Why it matters for an agent architect
A codebase navigator who scopes searches well turns a sprawling repo into something an agent can actually work in. Get this wrong and the agent wastes its context on noise and misses the real answer. This domain tests whether you can keep exploration focused.

Work the 15 questions in code exploration on their own until the reasoning clicks, then sit the full timed mock to see how it holds up under the clock.
