FAQPage Schema
How do I safely search code and check repository status without modifying files?▼

Read-only codebase investigation is the process of exploring code, finding files, and checking status using commands that cannot write or alter data, ensuring the repository state remains completely unchanged.

What is read-only codebase investigation and when do I need it?▼

Read-only codebase investigation is the process of exploring code, finding files, and checking status using commands that cannot write or alter data, ensuring the repository state remains completely unchanged.

Can I inspect remote sources and local repos for file discovery without write permissions?▼

Yes, you can inspect both local repos and remote sources for file discovery. The investigation operates strictly with read-only commands and enforces no-write or destructive actions across all sources.

How do I conduct a non-destructive repository investigation step by step?▼

To conduct a non-destructive repository investigation, direct the session to inspect the repository in read-only mode, then use allowed tools like Read, Grep, and Glob to search code and report findings.

When should I not use read-only commands for codebase inspection?▼

You should not use read-only commands for codebase inspection when you want changes, fixes, refactoring, or any write operation applied to the codebase or repository state.
