Codebase Search

Codebase search is mainly a question-shaping problem. Keep the entrypoint focused on choosing the right search surface, then load references only when the user needs exact ripgrep recipes or repeatable investigation playbooks.

When to use this skill

  • Find definitions, callsites, imports, or config ownership in an unfamiliar codebase
  • Trace a feature, bug, or data flow from entrypoint to deeper implementation
  • Perform impact analysis before refactoring a symbol or changing a workflow
  • Locate tests, examples, or neighboring files that explain current behavior
  • Search by exact text, conceptual feature, file pattern, or structural syntax

Prefer a narrower sibling skill when the request is not mainly about locating or tracing code:
