foxctl SWE Grep

What problem does it solve?

This Skill reduces the time it takes to find the most relevant code by automatically extracting high-signal snippets from a live codebase in response to natural-language questions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Smart code snippet extraction: Produces focused excerpts from candidate files, prioritizing what best answers your question.
• Evidence-aware retrieval workflow: Works as the final stage after semantic/symbol indexes shortlist likely files, then pulls the necessary lines from the workspace.
• Guided precision controls: Supports candidate priorities, optional symbol hints, and configurable limits (max files, max snippets, and max bytes per file) to keep results relevant and efficient.
• Use cases: Use it to answer “how does X work?”, speed up bug investigations by locating relevant handlers and logic, and support feature planning by extracting existing patterns before changing the code.

Quick Start

Ask for targeted snippets by running foxctl on the snippet_extract stage with a workspace_id, your natural-language question, and a list of candidate file paths.
