SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a unified and intelligent way to find relevant FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) patterns and code examples, prioritizing official and team-specific sources before falling back to broader searches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Prioritized Retrieval: Searches local team sources, learned patterns, curated docs, official examples, and then remote GitHub.
  • Quality Weighting: Ranks potential sources based on quality, recency, and official status.
  • Diverse Results: Ensures answers cite multiple sources by limiting snippets per repository.
  • Use Case: When developing a new autonomous routine, use PatternScout to quickly find examples of path following or sensor integration relevant to your team's specific robot configuration and past successful strategies.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I find FRC code examples and patterns for my robotics project?

To find FRC code examples, PatternScout retrieves patterns by prioritizing local team sources, curated documentation, and official examples before falling back to remote GitHub. It weights repositories by quality and recency to ensure relevant robotics results.

Does searching for FRC patterns require any specific command line tools?

Yes, retrieving FRC patterns requires the `rg` (ripgrep) and `gh` (GitHub CLI) command line tools to be installed. These dependencies enable efficient local searching and remote repository retrieval during the code example lookup process.

What is the best way to search GitHub for official FRC robotics code examples?

The best way to search GitHub for FRC code examples is using a retrieval tool that weights repositories by quality, recency, and officialness. PatternScout limits snippets per repository to ensure diverse and relevant results across multiple cited sources.

Can I retrieve FRC patterns from my local team sources before searching remote repositories?

Yes, you can retrieve FRC patterns from local team sources first. PatternScout prioritizes local team files, learned patterns, and curated documentation before initiating a remote GitHub fallback search for broader code examples.

Why does my FRC pattern retrieval return results from low quality or outdated GitHub repositories?

FRC pattern retrieval may return outdated results if the search tool lacks quality weighting. PatternScout ranks potential sources based on quality, recency, and official status to filter out low-quality repositories and prioritize relevant FRC code.
