FAQPage Schema
How do I explore a large codebase to find relevant files and structure?

Codebase discovery accelerates by quickly locating files and mapping relationships within project directories. It uses parallel agents to safely search complex repository structures, helping developers find functions, configurations, or tests efficiently during feature development or debugging.

What is the best way to find specific files in a complex repository directory?

File discovery is performed by using parallel agents to search through complex directory structures and categorize results. This approach locates specific files within large software repositories, enabling developers to quickly identify the locations of related functions or configurations.

Can I use parallel agents to search for code related to authentication in my project?

Yes, parallel agents can find all files related to authentication in your project directory. The search process categorizes files and maps their relationships, ensuring safe and fast codebase exploration to gather relevant code snippets and context.

Does codebase exploration work with external search tools or only internal ones?

Codebase discovery works with both internal and external tools as appropriate for the search. It executes parallel searches safely and fast, ensuring that file locating, categorization, and relationship mapping are handled efficiently regardless of the search method used.

How do I gather context and code snippets when starting a bug fix in an unfamiliar repository?

Context gathering is done by locating related files and mapping their structure within the project directories. The parallel search collects relevant code snippets and relationships, helping you understand code organization quickly before starting a bug fix or new development.
