Iterative Code Exploration provides a structured framework for Claude to navigate large or unknown repositories without becoming overwhelmed by irrelevant data. By following a systematic 'Discover, Evaluate, Refine, Loop' pattern, it enables developers to quickly identify entry points, core logic, and architectural patterns. It is particularly effective for onboarding to legacy projects, tracing complex dependencies, or locating specific functionality for refactoring and bug fixes while maintaining a clean mental model of the system.
