Workspace Search

Skill: Workspace Search

Description

Search for patterns across all projects in the workspace. Results are grouped by project.

Arguments

• <query> - The search pattern (supports regex)
• --type <ext> - Filter by file type (e.g., --type ts)
• --files - Show only file names, not content

Instructions

When the user wants to search across projects:

Step 1: Get Search Query

Parse the search query from the command arguments.

Step 2: Identify Projects

Get all cloned projects from the workspace configuration.

Step 3: Execute Search

For each project, run a search using ripgrep (rg) or grep:

rg "$query" "$project_path" --heading --line-number

Step 4: Format Results

Group results by project:
