To search a codebase without modifying files, you can use a read-only file search tool. This Skill operates strictly in read-only mode, allowing you to locate files and inspect code using glob patterns and regex without the risk of unintended edits.

Mapping an unfamiliar project structure safely requires a read-only approach. You can use glob-based file search to identify files and understand the architecture, ensuring the project remains completely unmodified during inspection.

You can use glob patterns to locate files in a large codebase by running a read-only search. This method matches file paths against specific patterns and outputs the absolute paths for all findings without altering the original files.

Yes, you can use regex to find function references across a project. This Skill supports grep-like searches with regex-based content inspection, helping you quickly locate specific functions or references in inherited code.

Yes, this read-only file search approach works for finding TODO comments in code. You can apply regex-based searches to scan file contents across the project, safely returning the absolute paths of files containing those comments.

The main limitation of a read-only codebase navigation tool is that it cannot make changes or fix the issues it finds. It is designed strictly for locating files and inspecting code, meaning you will need a separate process to apply any modifications.
