# Pi-finder-subagent

## Purpose

Read-only local workspace scout subagent for Pi. Use it to narrow context to relevant files/snippets before implementation.

## Routing

- Use when: Use when users ask to scout the local repository, identify relevant files/snippets, or reduce context before coding.

- Do not use when: Do not use for remote GitHub-first research across external repositories; use pi-librarian instead.

- Outputs: A cited local-file shortlist with line ranges plus a saved report at {artifactDir}/finder-report.md.

- Success criteria: Finder completes with concrete file paths, line ranges, and focused next steps that reduce implementation context.
