What problem does it solve?

The skill enforces a disciplined search workflow by prioritizing the codebase-locator agent over basic grep/glob tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided search: Redirects file-discovery tasks to the codebase-locator agent to improve accuracy and efficiency.
  • Safe tooling doctrine: Reduces reliance on potentially noisy or risky shell searches in large repositories.
  • Use Case: When locating authentication modules, configuration files, or implementation files, follow the codebase-locator-first approach.

Quick Start

Always perform file searches with the codebase-locator first before running any grep or glob commands.
