Code Structure Exploration Tools

Recognizing Structure Questions

These keywords mean use structure tools, NOT grep/search:

• "all the methods/functions/classes in..."
• "list of function signatures"
• "what functions/exports/API..."
• "package API" or "module exports"
• "method signatures with receivers" (Go)
• "what's available in..."

These keywords mean use search (Grep tool or ast-grep):

• "where is X defined"
• "find calls to X"
• "search for pattern Y"
