Codebase Retrieval

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Understand where a behavior lives before making a change
  • Find the real entry points, call graph, and invariants for a feature
  • Locate the authoritative implementation when file locations are unclear

Default tool order

  1. Use codebase-retrieval for semantic codebase search and symbol mapping
  2. Use exact search (grep_search) only after you know the likely files/symbols
  3. Read the relevant files end-to-end before editing core abstractions

Critical invariants

  • Prefer semantic retrieval before editing
  • Identify all call sites/consumers before changing an interface
  • Avoid partial refactors; pull all code forward to the new pattern

Optional integration note

This skill does not require the this kit product (not public); it uses the Augment context engine only.
