codebase-search SKILL.md skillA

codebase-search from akillness/jeo-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/codebase-search@v2.1

Pins v2.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Route repo-navigation requests to one search packet before editing: exact-text, symbol/indexed, structural, config/content, hosted search, or graph/path trace. Use when the user asks where something is defined or referenced, which files own config/content surfaces, or what must be inspected before a change.

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

# Codebase Search

## When to use this skill
- The main job is **repo navigation before edits**.
- The user needs to find **definitions, call sites, entry points, config owners, tests, templates, content references, or likely impact surface**.
- The repo is large enough that random file reading will waste time.
- The request is really **"where does this live / what uses it / what should I inspect first?"** even if the user never says "search".
- The repo may be **app code, infra/config, content/templates, or game tooling/assets**, and the first step is still discovery.

Do **not** use this skill as the main workflow when:
- The user already found the area and now needs root-cause diagnosis → use `debugging` or `log-analysis`.
- The user wants a behavior-preserving cleanup or migration plan → use `code-refactoring`.
- The user wants judgment on a concrete diff / PR → use `code-review`.
- The user wants a persistent whole-repo or mixed-corpus structure map → use `graphify`.

## Core idea
`codebase-search` should act like a **packet router**, not a giant search tutorial.

1. Normalize the request into **one primary packet**.
2. Narrow scope before dumping matches.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/codebase-search@sha256:b0fd6913eaf13add

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1, 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.
