code-retrieval

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of locating the correct code paths and extracting actionable context so edits can be made with precision instead of guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Semantic-to-symbol code discovery: start with intent-driven symbol search to identify likely functions and types.
• Snippet extraction for targeted context: use question-guided snippet retrieval from candidate files to obtain the smallest useful view before editing.
• Edit-tool alignment with risk-aware guardrails: choose between simple replacements and structured multi-hunk diffs based on change complexity, with explicit “when not to use” guidance.
• Resource-driven workflow: a single reference hub for symbol_search, swe_grep, edit tools, and retrieval guardrails to keep agent behavior consistent.

Quick Start

Use the code-retrieval skill to plan a retrieval funnel for a change request, then run symbol_search to get candidates and swe_grep to extract the exact snippets you will edit.
