Consult the Library

Use the local library of cloned repositories as reference material during research.

Workflow

  1. Find the library root:
    • Usually <project-root>/.library/.
    • If no library exists, tell the user to stock it first.
  2. Read <library-root>/INDEX.md first when it exists. Use it to choose the relevant repo(s).
  3. Inspect only the relevant clone(s). If the target is unclear and cannot be inferred from the task, ask one clarifying question.
  4. Default to an explorer subagent for library research to keep scans out of the main context. If subagents are unavailable, do a narrow inline search.
  5. Give the explorer a bounded task: instruct it to explore what's needed.
  6. Use rg, file reads, and repo-local docs/source. Do not browse or fetch new code unless the user asks.

Output

Answer with the finding, then the supporting paths. Keep it short.
