smart-explore

AST-informed code exploration builds an on-demand structural map of symbols and architecture, allowing you to navigate large codebases quickly by prioritizing structural overviews over full-file reads.

AST parsing accelerates code navigation in new repositories by focusing on symbols and architecture instead of line-by-line reads, providing fast orientation through on-demand detail expansion and minimal full-file loading.

The best way to get a structural overview of a large TypeScript project is using an AST-based workflow that maps the code structure first, then drills into specific symbols on-demand without loading implementation details prematurely.

Run smart_search to map the project structure, then use smart_outline to view symbol outlines and smart_unfold to drill into specific symbols, expanding details on-demand while enforcing a three-step AST-based workflow.

Yes, AST-based code exploration overrides default behaviors like Read, Grep, and Glob, replacing them with smart_search, smart_outline, and smart_unfold as primary tools for structural discovery and navigation.

Yes, tree-sitter AST exploration is designed for quick orientation in unfamiliar codebases, enabling you to locate relevant symbols and understand architecture by building an on-demand map before loading implementation details.
