searching-codebases skillA
searching-codebases is agent-read markdown (skill) from oaustegard/claude-skills: Binding-resolved Python symbol queries via pyright — every true caller (--refs), the real definition (--def), or an inferred signature (--hover) of a .py symbol, excluding the same-named false positives text search cannot tell apart. Use when a task needs ALL callers or users of a named Python symbol and grep would over-match. Python only, and only for the caller/definition question: measured 2026-07-04 on real issue-localization tasks, plain ripgrep tied or beat the semantic and indexed-regex t.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/searching-codebases@v2.5.0mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/searching-codebases@sha256:3658c49c783396e9Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
