Researching Codebases

Coordinate parallel sub-agents to answer complex codebase questions.

When to Use

• Questions spanning multiple files or components
• "How does X work?" requiring tracing through code
• Finding patterns or examples across the codebase
• Understanding architectural decisions or data flow

When NOT to Use

• Simple "where is X?" - use code-locator directly
• Single file questions - just read the file
• External/web research only - use web-searcher directly
