Fast Context
Overview
Use Fast Context as the first pass for codebase-aware work: locating implementation paths, tracing flows, finding tests, and collecting the complete definitions needed before producing code or project-specific advice.
This skill runs scripts/fast-context-search.mjs directly from the installed skill directory. The script uses vendored Fast Context core logic from the upstream v1.3.0-beta.2 source and Windsurf Devstral, but it does not require the Fast Context MCP server to be installed or enabled. It does not replace exact local inspection; use returned file paths and grep keywords to drive targeted rg, sed, and file reads.
When To Use
- Before code changes, architecture suggestions, bug fixes, test plans, or explanations that depend on project-specific behavior.
- When the relevant files are unknown or the feature crosses several modules.
- When you need full definitions, signatures, call sites, configuration, routes, schemas, or tests.
Skip this skill for purely conversational tasks, tiny known-file edits, or third-party library documentation lookups. Use a documentation retrieval skill such as Context7 for current external API docs.
