Use when exploring or modifying a codebase and you need a cheap structural map of files, directories, imports, exports, or direct members before reading full source.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Use ast-grep outline `ast-grep outline` prints a structural map of source code with line numbers: top-level declarations (imports, functions, classes, structs, interfaces, modules, enums) and their direct **members** (fields, methods, constructors, enum variants). It is a local, syntax-only view — cheap enough to run before any full file read. Read code in stages: find candidate files with search or file names, outline them, then open only the source range the outline points to. Defaults adapt to input: a file shows its local structure with member digests; a directory shows only its exported surface as grouped names. ## When To Use It **Understand a file before editing.** Get a table of contents, dependencies, and public entry points before reading implementation details: ```shell ast-grep outline <file> ast-grep outline <file> --items imports ast-grep outline <file> --items exports ``` **Map an unfamiliar directory.** Scan the public surface of a subtree, then narrow by symbol type when you know what you are looking for: ```shell ast-grep outline <dir> --items exports ast-grep outline <dir> --type struct,enum,function ``` …

How to install
mdr add ast-grep/agent-skill/ast-grep-outline@sha256:ebd4c3a7779d21b0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.0613dc7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
