FAQPage Schema
How do I quickly search a codebase to find files and map dependencies for project onboarding?▼

Codebase search for project onboarding uses parallel shell-based discovery to locate files and map relationships across directories, returning concise context reports that accelerate scoping for complex tasks.

What is the best way to gather task-relevant context across multiple directories for debugging?▼

Gathering task-relevant context for debugging involves coordinating shell search and optional parallel research agents to locate files and collect code paths, producing concise summaries for rapid issue identification.

Can I use parallel agents to scout codebases for architecture reviews and feature work?▼

Scouting codebases for architecture reviews and feature work supports optional parallel research agents, allowing simultaneous discovery across multiple directories to map file relationships and collect context.

Does codebase scouting work without external dependencies for file discovery?▼

Codebase scouting operates without external dependencies, using shell-based discovery commands to locate files and collect context, ensuring a streamlined search workflow for project onboarding and debugging.

When should I not use parallel agents for codebase exploration?▼

Codebase exploration with parallel agents is not necessary for single-directory searches or simple file lookups, as the streamlined shell-based discovery workflow handles basic file discovery without optional research agents.
