FAQPage Schema
How do I map file locations and dependencies across a large codebase?

To map a large codebase, coordinates parallel Explore and Gemini/OpenCode scouts to discover relevant files and summarize code relationships. This parallel discovery speeds up codebase mapping by concurrently scanning directories and delivering concise file lists with contextual summaries.

What is the best way to gather context for onboarding to a new software project?

Gathering context for onboarding is done by spawning parallel scouts across directories to map project structure and dependencies. It applies parallel discovery to reduce the time needed to understand new code and delivers concise contextual summaries of relevant files.

Can I use parallel agents for cross-directory feature analysis and debugging?

Yes, you can use parallel agents for cross-directory feature analysis and debugging. It coordinates internal and external agents to gather file context and task-relevant insights, summarizing code relationships across directories to support debugging workflows.

Does codebase discovery work with both Explore and Gemini/OpenCode agents?

Codebase discovery works with both Explore and Gemini/OpenCode agents. It coordinates internal and external agent support for flexible workflows, allowing you to spawn parallel scouts using either agent type to gather file context and relevant insights.

How do I find and summarize relevant files for a refactoring task?

To find and summarize relevant files for refactoring, spawn parallel scouts to gather file context and task-relevant insights. It applies parallel discovery across directories to map dependencies and code relationships, delivering concise file lists for cross-team planning.
