Slicing Code Context

Use the capable coordinator to choose relevant code. Give an external/local worker only the task and a deterministic Trailmark slice packet, then verify its response. The bundled Claude agent is a bounded-source fallback, not a strict empty-context process: Claude Code also injects repository instructions, git status, environment data, and a composed delegation prompt.

When to Use

• Offload explanation, classification, review, or mechanical edit proposals for a function or class
• Trace callers, callees, shortest call paths, or entrypoint-to-target paths within a small context window
• Focus a local or lower-cost model on explicit source lines and their graph neighborhood
• Keep repository access and final judgment with the coordinator
