symdex-code-search

What problem does it solve?

SymDex-code-search eliminates token-heavy, broad file browsing by returning precise symbol slices, file outlines, route handlers, and call graph traces so agents and developers can find definitions and usages quickly and efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Symbol and slice retrieval: locate function, class, or method definitions and return the exact code needed.
• Semantic and text search: find code by intent or literal text to surface relevant implementations without scanning entire files.
• Call graph and route tracing: trace who calls a symbol, what a symbol calls, and locate HTTP routes for fast debugging or feature work.
• Index management: check index freshness, create workspace or global indexes, and prefer lightweight structural refreshes or embedding-backed semantic search when needed.
• Use case: find the HTTP route for /api/checkout, retrieve the handler implementation, and list callers to assess impact before editing.

Quick Start

Use the symdex-code-search skill to locate a symbol definition, show its callers, and return a concise code slice from the current repository.
