SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Locates code patterns, implementations, and references across a local repository to accelerate code discovery and understanding.

Core Features & Use Cases

Local code search with pattern matching and file/line references
Memory recall and storage of discovered patterns for reuse
Deterministic, fast searches using native tools (rg, grep) with optional parallelization

Quick Start

Ask the agent to locate a function, symbol, or pattern by name and return matching files with line numbers.

FAQPage Schema

How do I search for specific code patterns and function implementations across my local repository?▼

You can locate code patterns and implementations across your local repository by asking the agent to find a function, symbol, or pattern by name. The Skill uses native tools like rg and grep for deterministic, fast searches, returning matching files with line numbers.

Can I store and recall discovered code patterns for future reuse?▼

Yes, the Skill provides memory recall and storage of discovered code patterns for future reuse. It stores findings from previous local repository searches, enabling quick understanding and reference of implementations without needing to re-run the deterministic search workflow.

What is the best way to audit code structure and locate where a specific pattern is implemented?▼

The best way to audit code structure is to perform a deterministic search workflow using fast local tools like rg and grep. This allows you to locate specific pattern implementations across the local repository with optional parallelization, providing exact file and line references for structural auditing.

Does this local code search approach work with native tools like rg and grep?▼

Yes, this code search approach works directly with native tools like rg and grep. It leverages these deterministic, fast local utilities to perform pattern matching and file reference discovery across the codebase, with optional parallelization to accelerate the search workflow.

When do I need to search for code references and implementations across a codebase?▼

You need to search for code references and implementations across a codebase when you need to quickly understand where a function or pattern is defined, or when you need to audit code structure. This accelerates code discovery and structural understanding within the local repository.
