What problem does it solve?

This Skill transforms Claude into an IDE-like coding assistant, moving beyond inefficient text-based operations to semantic code understanding. It dramatically reduces errors, token usage, and development time by enabling precise, context-aware code modifications and navigation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Semantic Code Navigation: Use tools like find_symbol and find_referencing_symbols to understand code structure and dependencies, replacing tedious grep searches.
• Symbol-Level Editing: Perform precise modifications with replace_symbol_body or rename_symbol, ensuring changes are applied correctly across the codebase.
• Project Management: Activate projects, onboard new codebases, and manage configurations for a seamless development experience.
• Use Case: You need to refactor a complex function across a large codebase, ensuring all references are updated correctly, or quickly understand the impact of a proposed change before implementation.

Quick Start

Activate the project at './my-repo' and then find all references to the 'calculate_total' function.
