What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you overcome common frustrations with code searching, such as getting no results, unexpected results, or falling into a "search thrashing" loop where you make many similar, unproductive searches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tool Selection: Guides you to choose between Grep, Glob, and the Explore agent based on your search goal.
  • Pattern Debugging: Provides rules for correctly escaping special characters in ripgrep patterns to ensure literal matches.
  • Search Strategy: Advises on planning searches, avoiding repetitive queries, and refining scope.
  • Use Case: You're looking for a specific configuration variable in a large codebase. Instead of guessing patterns, you use this Skill to understand the best way to use Grep with the correct flags and escaping to find it efficiently.

Quick Start
