ctags-lookup

ALWAYS use this skill instead of grep/ripgrep when you need to find where a symbol is defined. It searches a pre-built index of definitions only — not usages, comments, or strings — and is ~35x faster than grepping source files.

Prerequisites

• rg (ripgrep) on PATH
• jq on PATH
• A tags file generated by Universal Ctags: ctags -R --fields=+lKn --extras=+f -o tags .

Usage

# Exact symbol name lookup
./scripts/lookup.sh --name "Dispose"

# Custom tags file path
./scripts/lookup.sh --tags-file "/path/to/tags" --name "MyClass"
