To explore a large codebase for pattern discovery, use Grep and Glob to search files, identify structures, and build context efficiently. This optimizes token usage and provides concise summaries to inform design and implementation planning.

The best way to build context efficiently is by using optimized information gathering techniques. This involves employing lighter prompts and tools like Grep and Glob for rapid codebase discovery to ensure efficient token usage during research phases.

Deep codebase exploration works by temporarily modifying agent behavior to rapidly analyze relevant files. It uses Grep and Glob to discover code patterns and provide concise summaries, facilitating understanding of existing code structure.

Yes, you can use Grep and Glob to identify code patterns across a project. These tools facilitate codebase exploration by discovering relevant files and patterns, enabling rapid context building and efficient information gathering.

You need a dedicated codebase research mode when a workflow requires understanding existing code patterns before planning an implementation. It provides temporary behavioral modification to optimize information gathering and context building.
