SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables fast local codebase exploration and search, allowing you to map structure, locate symbols, and trace definitions without relying on external services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local structure mapping: quickly visualize top-level directories and module layout.
  • Pattern and symbol search: locate functions, classes, and usages with line hints.
  • Definition and reference tracing: jump to definitions and analyze references to understand code flow.
  • Targeted content retrieval: read specific file segments with precise context for verification.

Quick Start

Enable rapid local exploration by mapping the project, searching for a symbol, and jumping to its definition using the available local tools.

Frequently Asked Questions about octocode-local-search

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search for symbols and trace definitions in a local monorepo?▼

Local codebase exploration maps top-level directories and module layouts to locate symbols, trace definitions, and find references. It performs discovery and precise content retrieval without external fetches.

How do I search for code patterns and locate symbols within a local project?▼

Local code exploration uses pattern search to locate functions and classes with line hints. It relies on local search tools to perform discovery and precise content retrieval for verification.

Does this local code search approach work with LSP for finding references?▼

Local code search uses LSP to go to definitions and find references. It leverages local tools to perform discovery, analysis, and precise content retrieval, enabling definition and reference tracing to understand code flow.

Can I map the directory structure of a local monorepo without external services?▼

Local structure mapping visualizes top-level directories and module layout without external services. It relies entirely on local tools to map structure and perform exploration.

What is the best way to read specific file segments during local code exploration?▼

Targeted content retrieval reads specific file segments with precise context for verification. Local code exploration uses content retrieval tools to perform analysis and verify code flow.
