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.
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.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Semantic code search bridges intent and implementation by mapping natural language queries to exact symbols. This skill executes a semantic-to-symbol funnel, using intent to find likely functions, then narrows down to high-signal snippets from candidate files for precise context extraction.
You extract targeted context by consuming candidate files and using question-guided snippet retrieval to obtain the smallest useful view of the code. This ensures you have exactly the necessary multi-file modification context before applying any changes.
The best way to choose is by aligning edit tools with change complexity. This skill provides risk-aware guardrails to select between simple replacements for minor tweaks and structured multi-hunk diffs for complex modifications.
A workspace-scoped symbol index is required when available to effectively execute semantic code search and identify candidate functions. The retrieval workflow relies on this index to map intent to specific code symbols.
You should not use structured multi-hunk diffs for simple, isolated text changes where a basic replacement suffices. The skill includes explicit guardrails to prevent misuse and direct users to simpler edit tools when complexity is low.
