In large or many-file projects, use MCP `cxs(op,args)` or CLI `cxs` before raw `rg`/`grep`.

Default flow: `find(files_only:true)` to identify candidate files, `find(paths=[...])` to locate bounded line hits, then use Codex-native reads for the exact file or span.

Use `--path` or `paths` for concrete files/directories. Use `--scope` or `scopes` only for presets: `docs`, `src`, `tests`, `config`, `analysis`, `runs`, `vendor`, `all`.

For small projects, known files, or narrow checks, normal file reads/direct shell tools are fine. If output is `truncated`, refine query/scope/path or continue files-only pagination with `next_page.offset`.
