Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).** ## Purpose Utilize external agentic tools to scout given directories or explore the codebase for files needed to complete the task using a fast, token efficient agent. ## Variables USER_PROMPT: $1 SCALE: $2 (defaults to 3) RELEVANT_FILE_OUTPUT_DIR: Use `Report:` from `## Naming` section ## Workflow: - Write a prompt for 'SCALE' number of agents to the `Task` tool that will immediately call the `Bash` tool to run these commands to kick off your agents to conduct the search: - `gemini -p "[prompt]" --model gemini-2.5-flash-preview-09-2025` (if count <= 3) - `opencode run "[prompt]" --model opencode/grok-code` (if count > 3 and count < 6) - if count >= 6, spawn `Explore` subagents to search the codebase in parallel **Why use external agentic tools?** - External agentic tools are faster and more efficient when using LLMs with large context windows (1M+ tokens). **How to prompt the agents:** - If `gemini` or `opencode` is not available, ask the user if they want to install it: - If **yes**, install it (if there are permission issues, instruct the user to install it manually, including authentication steps) - If **no**, use the default `Explore` subagents. - IMPORTANT: Kick these agents off in parallel using the `Task` tool, analyze and divide folders for each agent to scout intelligently and quickly. - IMPORTANT: These agents are calling OTHER agentic coding tools to search the codebase. DO NOT call any search tools yourself. - IMPORTANT: That means with the `Task` tool, you'll immediately call the Bash tool to run the respective agentic coding tool (gemini, opencode, claude, etc.) - IMPORTANT: Instruct the agents to quickly search the codebase for files needed to complete the task. This isn't about a full blown search, just a quick search to find the files needed to complete the task. - Instruct the subagent to use a timeout of 3 minutes for each agent's bash call. Skip any agents that don't return within the timeout, don't restart them. - **IMPORTANT:** Sacrifice grammar for the sake of concision when writing reports. - **IMPORTANT:** In reports, list any unresolved questions at the end, if any. --- ## Closing Reminders - **IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION** break work into small todo tasks using `TaskCreate` BEFORE starting - **IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION** search codebase for 3+ similar patterns before creating new code - **IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION** cite `file:line` evidence for every claim (confidence >80% to act) - **IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION** add a final review todo task to verify work quality **MANDATORY IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION** READ the following before starting: - **IMPORTANT MUST ATTENTION** cite `file:line` evidence for every claim. Confidence >80% to act, <60% = do NOT recommend. --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/duc01226) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
