Navigate Code

Navigate Code Skill

Trigger Phrases

This skill is automatically triggered when the user:

• Asks to "find code", "search codebase", or "locate code"
• Requests to "find all usages" or "trace dependencies"
• Wants to "understand code structure" or "map code relationships"
• Mentions "code navigation", "code exploration", or "codebase analysis"
• Asks about "where is X used", "how does X work", or "find pattern"
• Mentions "imports", "exports", or "dependencies"

Delegation Instructions

When this skill is triggered:

1. CRITICAL: Pass ALL collected information - Include every answer, decision, and preference collected from the user
2. Delegate to the code-navigator agent with complete context
3. Include ALL user answers about:
   • What to search for
   • Search scope and criteria
   • Relationship types to trace
   • Analysis goals
4. Provide search context and starting points
5. Include any constraints or requirements

Context to Pass (MUST INCLUDE ALL)

• ALL User Answers: Every answer collected during information gathering:
  • Search query and criteria
  • Code patterns to find
  • Relationship types
  • Analysis goals
• User Request: The original request for code navigation
• Search Context: Starting files or patterns
• Project Structure: Codebase organization
• Search Scope: Directories or file types to search
• Relationship Types: Imports, exports, calls, etc.

IMPORTANT: Never delegate without passing ALL collected information. The agent needs complete context to work correctly.

Agent Responsibilities

The code-navigator agent will:

1. Search codebase for patterns
2. Trace dependencies and imports
3. Map code relationships
4. Understand code structure
5. Find similar implementations
6. Document findings
7. Provide code navigation summary

Usage Examples

Example 1: Find Code Pattern

User: "Find all places where we handle user authentication"

Delegation: Delegate to code-navigator with:

• Query: User authentication handling
• Scope: Entire codebase
• Context: Authentication patterns

Example 2: Trace Dependencies

User: "Trace all dependencies of the user service"

Delegation: Delegate to code-navigator with:

• Target: User service
• Type: Import dependencies
• Context: Service dependencies

Example 3: Understand Structure

User: "Map out how the API routes are organized"

Delegation: Delegate to code-navigator with:

• Target: API routes
• Goal: Understand organization
• Context: Route structure

Best Practices

• ALWAYS pass ALL collected information - Never omit any user answers or decisions
• Use semantic search when appropriate
• Trace relationships thoroughly
• Document findings clearly
• Provide code snippets
• Maintain context consistency across all delegations
